Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 2, 2026

Idira Privileged Access Manager and Saviynt Identity Cloud are competitive solutions in the identity management category. Idira is favored for its advanced security and compliance features, making it a strong choice for enterprises focused on these areas. Saviynt, however, has an edge with its extensive integration capabilities and user-friendly workflows, appealing to businesses seeking a comprehensive solution.

Features:Idira's notable features include advanced session monitoring, password reconciliation, and the integration of threat detection systems, offering granular control over privileged accounts. Meanwhile, Saviynt Identity Cloud is valued for its user-friendly deployment, robust reporting tools, and adaptive identity governance capabilities, which facilitate seamless cloud integration.

Room for Improvement:Idira could enhance its offering by improving its interface and expanding plugin support to boost integration capabilities and usability. Saviynt, on the other hand, could benefit from offering better customization options and strengthening its technical support, especially for managing custom application integrations and logging.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:Idira's deployment suits organizations familiar with on-premises and hybrid models but can challenge cloud transitions. Its customer support has mixed reviews, with some delay in initial responses. Saviynt, being cloud-based, offers flexibility in hybrid environments and generally receives positive feedback on customer service, despite some suggestions for quicker technical responses.

Pricing and ROI:Idira is considered expensive for smaller businesses, yet it offers substantial ROI through enhanced security, justifying its cost for larger enterprises. Saviynt's pricing, though also premium, is seen as more affordable, particularly in cloud solutions, and it delivers notable ROI by improving identity management efficiency and compliance.

CyberArk Engineer at Tata Consultancy

Provides full visibility into user activity and ensures secure end-to-end access across critical systems

In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I see room for improvement as I am working in the on-premises networks, and now we are also having the cloud-based PAM. So there, everything is maintained by the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager team, and we are only maintaining the PSM servers. So it is already upgraded from the on-premises network to the cloud network. If you ask me what we can implement beyond that, I just need a few minutes to think about what new things, because it is already an end-to-end security on-premises itself. Now, when it comes to PCloud, Privileged Cloud, it is more secure than the on-premises networks because most of the things are handled using the cloud itself. So it is an already upgraded version; we do not need to implement something new. But if you think in that way, we can have a chance to implement our things. If anything could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I think we could build a small agent AI in my team, we could give access to these logs—the Vault logs, PSM logs, and CPM logs. Whenever the system is going down, the AI will automatically check. If we actually implement agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, it will check the logs, and if any errors are coming, it automatically triggers alerts and gives the solution. That is the best improvement I can think of because these days, most things are done by agent AI. So if we also implement this agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we can add more features.

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 are able to centrally manage credentials, touch applications, and rotate passwords."

"The password vault and session monitoring are useful."

"I really like the PTA (Privileged Threat Analytics). I find this the best feature."

"The whole concept of Zero Trust and implementing it with CyberArk, which somewhat adheres to the 'never trust, always verify' principle, is very valuable. I really appreciate this aspect. Moreover, the just-in-time access is impressive, allowing access for a specific time."

"I found it valuable that CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be integrated with PTA (privileged threat analytics), and this means that it will tell you if there's a risk to the logins and signs of risk and if risky behavior is observed. It's a good feature. Another good feature is the CPM (central password manager) because it helps you rotate the passwords automatically without involving the admins. It can go and update the scheduled tasks and the services. At the same time, if there's an application where it cannot do all of these, CPM will trigger an automatic email to the application owners, telling them that they should go ahead and change the password. This allows you to manage the account password that CyberArk cannot manage, which helps mitigate the risk of old passwords, where the password gets compromised, and also allows you to manage the security of the domain."

"CyberArk PAS provides isolated and recorded sessions for third-party/outsourced admin access."

"We are maintaining compliance in PCI, SOX and HIPPA, which is a big thing. Auditors really like it, and it has made us stay compliant."

"DVR like video recording and text-based recording for easier audits."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager pros

"The product has a great attestation feature."

"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."

"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 most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."

"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."

"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."

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

"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity, and everything is through a single click, so we get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could improve the integration docking, it should have more layers. For example, integration with OpenShift."

"Privileged Threat Analytics (PTA) that can function in more that one AD domain at a time."

"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault must incorporate connectors for password and session managers in the marketplace."

"The product is complex and requires extensive configuration."

"It is easily customized, and that customization makes it very easy to start trying to shoehorn the solution into roles it was never intended to fill."

"The issue of technical support is crucial, as there are not many specialized partners available in Brazil to provide this service. While English language support is of good quality, there is a significant shortage of partners capable of meeting the demand locally."

"Password Vault is much pricier than other solutions. A vendor team might struggle to explain why that price is justified. There are good alternatives that cost less."

"They should allow further customization as it's really hard to do any further customizations over CyberArk."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager cons

"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."

"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."

"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 custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."

"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."

"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."

"On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate my experience with Saviynt so far as maybe only a four-out-of-ten."

"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-effective for the features."

"It's an affordable platform."

"CyberArk is very expensive and there are additional fees for add-ons."

"Its price is high. I have also worked with Delinea. CyberArk is comparatively expensive compared to other PAM solutions, such as Delinea, especially during renewal."

"Compared to other solutions, it is costly."

"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could be less expensive."

"I hope to learn how the pricing works so that I can understand it better, but I am certain it is not inexpensive."

"It's expensive, certainly. But CyberArk is the leader in the market with regards to privileged access management. You pay a lot, but you are paying for the value that is being delivered."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
