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.

Positive feedback highlights lightweight design and compatibility while suggesting more AI integration
Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools. It checks your Active Directory authentication and continues only if the check is okay, plus it works with older protocols such as NTLM, which is a significant advantage. It's complementary to other tools you may have, whether they are TAM solutions such as Delinea or Xerox. Silverfort also has a lightweight adapter for domain controllers, and it finds gaps in security. Its capabilities are expanding regularly, with new features voted on every few months. For companies with large Active Directory implementations and zero staff, Silverfort provides instant results in identifying risks and blind spots. It also includes built-in virtual features, and while I don't know the exact pricing, it's not expensively priced, making it an attractive option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."
"The product is flexible to use."
"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 product has a great attestation feature."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"Saviynt performs well against other products in the market; it's easy to manage and easy to use, with a simple, intuitive shopping-cart-style UI for end users to request access and follow the approval process."
"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."
"Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools."
 

Cons

"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."
"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."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"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."
"If Silverfort could integrate a gentle type of AI similar to Microsoft Copilot or enable workflow creation similar to Salesforce, it would further improve user navigation, even though the platform is already simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"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."
"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."
