Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 2, 2026

Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager and Saviynt Identity Cloud compete in the field of identity and privilege management. Saviynt seems to have an upper hand due to its robust integration capabilities and affordability.

Features: Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager provides features like removing admin rights, central security management, and Privileged Threat Analytics for alert mechanisms. It is also praised for its scalability and stability. Saviynt Identity Cloud excels in identity governance with deep integration into enterprise systems, certification and attestation functions, and ease of integration into a unified identity management platform.

Room for Improvement: Idira could improve performance and support response times, event data collection, policy management, and setup for Linux and network devices. More automation and tool integration are desired. Saviynt needs better customization of configurations, training resources, and PAM capabilities, which affect user adoption.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Idira offers flexible deployment options but faces challenges with technical support, often needing certified professionals. Saviynt offers strong cloud-based deployment with hybrid options, though support response times are slow and costly. Saviynt's cloud deployment options are generally prioritized over Idira's support features.

Pricing and ROI: Idira is expensive, pricing based on users and sessions but offers significant security ROI, making it mainly suitable for larger enterprises. Saviynt offers flexible, affordable pricing models such as pay-as-you-go, favoring cloud deployments. Both are considered valuable, with Saviynt being more competitive in terms of pricing.

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights

There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

Has reduced manual work and shortened project timelines through faster deployment and intuitive workflows

One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We can do both server and endpoint protection."

"The product is stable."

"The product is very flexible"

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has significantly improved our security posture by preventing virus incidents and restricting users from downloading unwanted applications."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager enhances computer security by providing minimal access, effectively preventing ransomware attacks."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) 's most valuable feature is its ability to manage user application privileges and protect against ransomware attacks by controlling access to specific files and applications."

"This is the number one product for privilege account security."

"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."

More Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."

"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."

"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."

"Saviynt has improved our organization, as it is a straightforward solution that allows you to configure things very fast, partly because of the JSON and Autobox functionality."

"The first valuable feature is the approach to solving the identity problem, where access risk is the focus of solving any problem, and the second is their deeper integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS, which gives Saviynt an edge."

"The product is flexible to use."

"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."

"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can improve its Identity Governance, which is already working effectively yet could continue to enhance its capabilities."

"The solution is very expensive."

"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The solution can be complex to use at times."

"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."

"Despite newer versions and functionalities, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks sufficient knowledgeable support staff, resulting in longer wait times for assistance."

"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."

More Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."

"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."

"The scalability is a question mark because they have not been successful in the places where you have 200,000 to 300,000 identities."

"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."

"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."

"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's license is easy to procure."

"I believe it's quite a reasonably priced solution. It's not very common to use CyberArk because it's a niche solution, but customers who are willing to control administrative accounts are willing to pay this money."

"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."

"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."

"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."

"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."

"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

More Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."

"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
