Centralized privileged access has improved control and now supports secure vendor billing oversight

The transparent mode is a seamless approach when using it. We have some issues with it, but we are working on it to make it work for us. Managing remote access for privileged users with the secure remote access feature is both easy and hard depending on the scenario we face. We have some systems that are easy and take not even a minute to set up, while others take a bit longer. We are in the middle of integrating One Identity Safeguard with the IGA solution, Identity Manager. We have some A2A setups, but it is not optimal. We are using RPA for developers, not actually RPA accounts, but that is something we are working on. We are also using the service account password rotation on the asset to some degree, and we are exploring options there. For integrating One Identity Safeguard, figuring out how password rotation works is a bit difficult because we have to make custom integrations. After that, it was no problem really. For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools. It is mostly for certain features in One Identity Safeguard that I would like some improvements. Some of the things you can do in entitlements, there is a lot you can do there, but not everything is optimal. You have to have duplicates of a lot of things to make it work the way you want.

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 use the solution’s “transparent mode” feature for privileged sessions; it is very easy because it is only a simple configuration for our users, we don't have to modify our network, we install it, configure it, and it works, so it is super easy, and the rollout for our users is seamless."

"Flexible modes are easily integrated into the customer infrastructure."

"We have saved approximately thirty to forty percent of our time, and our team is spending more time on critical issues rather than managing passwords."

"This solution gives them real confidence that they can keep their customers safe and their data protected."

"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report."

"We have limited the possibilities for malicious actions and have made it safer for our users when they are using privileged accounts."

"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."

"I have found the most useful feature of One Identity Safeguard to be Privileged Sessions."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."

"The solution handles backflow very well."

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

"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."

"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."

"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."

"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."

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

Cons

"The only part of the Safeguard solution that I think could be a problem over time is the amount of storage it takes in the sessions."

"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval."

"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."

"It needs more marketing."

"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."

"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."

"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."

"It takes some time to understand the features of One Identity Safeguard, and it would be more useful if it was easier to set up."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

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

"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."

"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."

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

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

"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 UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."

"The license is around $3,000 per month."

"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."

"Its subscription cost is too much, and sometimes, it is very difficult to pitch the solution to the management for cost approval. If the cost is reduced a little bit, it would be easier. If its cost was less, many other organizations that currently cannot afford it would be able to use this technology. I'm sure many organizations around the globe are having issues with identity management, and it is a very difficult task for IT to manage privileged accounts."

"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."

"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

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

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

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

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

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

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

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

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