MAHESHKUMAR7 - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers multi-factor authentication and application support side of PingFederate but application only supports specific protocols
A lot of teams work with technical support, but I work with it for user issues only. You might need support with things like application swaps, application names, and application URLs. I didn't know where to find those in Ping Identity, so I contacted technical support for those issues. The support team is very clever and active. They provide end-to-end support once an issue is created. I have worked with most of the support team. I also work with the support team because I work with the operations team. I provide 24/7 support to production and non-production environments. I coordinate with application and network teams to troubleshoot critical tickets and issues related to Ping Identity solutions.
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

Pros

"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward.

Cons

"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."

"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The product is costly."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"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 solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
