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.

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

"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Very good."
"Building and expanding a directory tree for my customers was the most valuable tool."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"It is a scalable product."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"We are able to automate the entire process of joiners, movers, leavers and the provisioning and deprovisioning of identities."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, you'll have a lot of confidence accessing Saviynt because it's a pretty straightforward tool."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The product is flexible to use."
"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."
 

Cons

"They are expensive."
"Yes, I found some scalability issues: Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Advanced searches with 0 rows."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"The customer support process is slow at times because they do not have proper language support for my clients in Latin America speaking Spanish."
"Broke down several times during my 4 months but overall the delays were mostly minor."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"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 technical support team's response time could be improved."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"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."
"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."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"It is affordable licensing."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"They are expensive."
"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."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
