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.

A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

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

"By implementing CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we wanted to secure the password data and password accounts. We could see the benefits of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager immediately after we deployed it and started using it."

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager assists in meeting compliance and regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and SOX, ensuring I adhere to necessary standards in my operations."

"It's a highly flexible solution that can adapt to each customer's needs."

"With PAM in place, we've experienced a significant reduction in potential security breaches."

"All the features of CyberArk are useful for me, but the biggest one is that CyberArk has logs for all the features. That is important when there is a problem. You know where to look and you have the information. In cyber security, the most important aspect is information."

"CyberArk is the key technology around which we have built our security management solution."

"I would recommend implementing CyberArk Privileged Access Manager as it is the best so far."

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has helped our organization by controlling users' access."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager pros

"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."

"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."

"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."

"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."

"Compared to other tools, you'll have a lot of confidence accessing Saviynt because it's a pretty straightforward tool."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."

"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"The interface could be improved it is not user-friendly, but they have improved but it could still improve. In the policies configuration, it would be a benefit to have more details."

"The initial setup of CyberArk is a challenge if you do not have prior experience with it."

"When I was a component owner for PAM's Privileged Threat Analytics (PTA) component, what I wanted was a clear mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a framework which has a comprehensive list of use cases. We reached out to the vendor and asked them how much coverage they have of the uses cases found on MITRE, which would have given us a better view of things while I was the product owner. Unfortunately they did not have the capability of mapping onto MITRE's framework at that time."

"I would love them to improve their UI customizing features."

"Their post-sale support area requires a big improvement. Customers cannot automate tickets directly with CyberArk. They have to come through the distributor or bring in partners who have access to the support portal. Basically, the support for post-sales implementation is there, but the role of CyberArk is very minimal. Customers have to rely on partners, which sometimes creates issues. Some of the vendors help you during the implementation process, but the CyberArk support team does not do that. They have 24/7 support for our region, but they help only if there is an emergency or there is a problem with their system. If the password vault is down or the system is down, they provide immediate attention. For almost everything else, they take more time to respond. They give low priority to service-related or migration-related questions."

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

"Pricing is a problem. CyberArk is expensive compared to other products I know."

"One of our current issues is a publishing issue. If we whitelist Google Chrome, all the events of Google Chrome should be gone. It is not happening."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager cons

"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."

"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."

"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."

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

"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."

"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 customer support and implementation services need to be improved."

"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."

"The pricing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is quite expensive, and the pricing varies from region to region. In APAC, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be obtained for less than in North America, according to my understanding."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."

"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."

"There are additional features added to our CyberArk Privileged Access Manager license. For example, features that allow us to integrate into various kinds of platforms."

"I would rate CyberArk's pricing a nine out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the market, but it's worth it."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

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