Featured Reviews

Martin Ajayiobe - PeerSpot reviewer
Th password vault feature has proven to be most effective for managing privileged access
One Identity Safeguard now prevents unauthorized access to servers by eliminating privileged passwords and requiring all connections to go through a PAM-authorized process. This means no one, including hackers, can access servers without explicit approval, significantly enhancing overall security. One Identity Safeguard is easy to use with a good partner to support you, and it can be up and running within a few days. We have successfully integrated One Identity Safeguard with cloud targets, and the process was straightforward. One Identity Safeguard has improved our incident response time by 300 percent.
VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."
"It offers high availability and enables end users to deploy the solution with 99.999 percent uptime, which is crucial in an enterprise environment with a large number of endpoints."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with."
"The solution transparently integrates into the infrastructure and users do not notice it. I would give this feature the highest rating."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"I like Safeguard's snapshot feature that enables us to review the last time an application was opened and by whom. If there are any issues, we can look behind the scenes to see what has been done. We can suspend a user's access or close off a server."
"We have limited the possibilities for malicious actions and have made it safer for our users when they are using privileged accounts."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
 

Cons

"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."
"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."
"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."
"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."
"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"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."
"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."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
