Sravanakumar Nidamanooru

Identity and Access Management Specialist at a university with 10,001+ employees

Automated lifecycle management has cut onboarding times and now drives secure, clean access

Although I am a fan of Okta Platform overall, there are areas where it could improve security outcomes and reduce admin friction. My top improvement areas include the system log and analytics upgrade, which are great for point troubleshooting, but trending and root cause analysis across large tenants still require exporting to SIEM. Verbose queries and long-range retention costs can add up. Additionally, while certificate rotations are better than most, the process is still manual for busy portfolios, especially concerning multi-SP SAML certificate rotations and app metadata drift. Two more buckets of potential improvements for Okta Platform involve user experience and security. There is the issue of push fatigue and prompt sprawl, where users receive multiple prompts across different apps and sessions. I arrived at the rating of eight because the core controls are strong and reliable, but a few operational UX and UI gaps prevent it from being rated higher. The reasons for not giving it a nine or ten include ongoing issues concerning safety and change safety, the complexity of group rules and mappings, and the lack of robustness in policy management. Additionally, there remains a need for more manual involvement than necessary, especially for large portfolios and dual certificate rotation, along with proactive SP data metadata validation.

Narayanan D

Principle at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities

I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

Software Engineer at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

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

"Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes."

"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."

"It's easy to use and straightforward."

"Okta Workforce Identity has helped our organization by allowing us to work remotely in a secure environment."

"We can have all our applications in one central base where you can log into it and access it without having to enter your password for each application."

"Time saved is a great example of return on investment, as Okta Workforce Identity has saved approximately 50 to 80 percent of our time."

"The initial setup is easy."

"In my opinion, Okta Platform's best features include federation, which is very important, especially when you work with different systems."

More Okta Platform pros

"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."

"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."

"Automated provisioning platform, certification because it helps with automatically provisioning users based on discreet roles, access profiles, across many different applications."

"User provisioning and the role management features are good."

"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."

"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."

"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."

"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the right things."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."

"Saviynt has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time for a project where we previously used a spreadsheet for manual work to keep the data."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."

"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."

"The training is too costly."

"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."

"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."

"I think the setup in the beginning can be a bit of a learning curve."

"In the future, we'd like to see the product implement more security features, like, for example, zero-trust."

"The stability could be better."

More Okta Platform cons

"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."

"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."

"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find."

"The connectors should be improved."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."

"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."

"I don't believe I would recommend the solution. I'd advise other organizations to use NetIQ instead."

"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

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

"Over the past year, my company faced some difficulties with Saviynt. For example, some of the onboarding projects have been blocked due to responses from Saviynt."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is fine for general service usage. However, the charges for API features and API tokens can be quite high."

"The cost per user for this solution is really high and could be reduced."

"It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"

"The solution is really expensive."

"The licensing is per user per month and includes full technical support."

"The product has a user-based license model."

"We pay 23 pence (approximately $0.30 USD) per user, annually, for 150,000 users."

"The price of the solution is good."

More Okta Platform pricing and cost advice

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."

"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."

"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."

"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."
