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.

Lead Consultant at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

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

"It has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege. We've removed, at this point, close to 98 percent of the local administrative accounts on workstations. If there were an incident, it would stop at that point and we'd be able to know."

"The password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."

"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."

"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."

"The stability of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is excellent, with an uptime of 99.99 percent."

"All of the features are valuable."

"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."

"It identifies the original source, and all instances of malicious applications in the environment."

More Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"Saviynt performs well against other products in the market; it's easy to manage and easy to use, with a simple, intuitive shopping-cart-style UI for end users to request access and follow the approval process."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple."

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

"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."

"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."

"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 has a great attestation feature."

"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."

"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."

"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."

"CyberArk has some performance issues. For example, servers could not handle the solution when we first took CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager."

"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."

"The solution's pricing could be better."

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

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."

More Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."

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

"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."

"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."

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

"I think it's on the lower side if you ask me about notifications and the auto-save mechanism."

"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."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."

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

"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."

"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."

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

"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."

More Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

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

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"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."

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

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

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