Centralized control has strengthened privileged security and simplified audit investigations

While One Identity Safeguard is a strong and reliable PAM solution, there are a few areas where it can be further improved to enhance user experience and scalability. Regarding the user interface and experience, the UI, while functional, can be a bit complex for new users. A more intuitive and modern dashboard with simplified navigation would improve adoption, especially for non-technical stakeholders. Regarding integration flexibility, although it supports major integrations, expanding out-of-the-box connectors for more cloud-native apps, DevOps tools, and SaaS platforms would be beneficial. Faster and simpler API-based integrations could reduce deployment efforts. Regarding scalability and performance in large enterprise environments, performance tuning and scaling can require additional efforts. Enhancing seamless scalability and high availability configuration would improve enterprise readiness.

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

"It was super easy to deploy, not complicated, and did not have the hidden Capex that competitors do!"

"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."

"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."

"There is ease of implementation."

"Safeguard by One Identity has had a positive impact on my organization and my clients' projects, as several customers ended up satisfied after implementation and continued to use the product."

"I have found One Identity Safeguard to be stable."

"I give it an eight because of its robust security features, its splendid automated password management, and real-time activity monitoring that stood out to me."

"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."

More Safeguard by One Identity pros

"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."

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

"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, reducing that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less and decreasing the joiner-leaver lifecycle time to a couple of days, benefiting them significantly."

"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."

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

"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."

"It's overall a good thing to have everything consolidated in one place."

"Saviynt has improved our organization, as it is a straightforward solution that allows you to configure things very fast, partly because of the JSON and Autobox functionality."

Cons

"One Identity Safeguard can be improved in areas such as UI modernization."

"I chose a rating of seven because I believe the product still has improvements that need to be made in terms of supportability for new applications, such as SaaS solutions, and it does not have any native method of managing cloud-based applications, which I believe is an area to improve."

"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."

"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."

"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."

"We have issues using Safeguard to record http/https connection in a video format. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."

"VMware PCoIP protocol support: Many customers are switching from normal computers/environment to VDI infrastructure and some of them are switching to VMware Horizon that uses PCoIP protocol, which is not supported right now."

"One Identity Safeguard could be improved by providing a unified management experience, as historically it has been split into logical units, and it would be beneficial if they could provide out-of-the-box reports and visualization, addressing the high resource overhead for privileged analytics."

More Safeguard by One Identity cons

"I think it's on the lower side if you ask me about notifications and the auto-save mechanism."

"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."

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

"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."

"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."

"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."

"The scalability is a question mark because they have not been successful in the places where you have 200,000 to 300,000 identities."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

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

"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."

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

More Safeguard by One Identity pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

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

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."
