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.

Centralized access visibility has improved identity governance and reduced audit effort
One significant benefit of Veza is how it helps centralize access visibility across different systems. Traditionally, access reviews require checking multiple applications, cloud platforms, and identity sources separately. With Veza, I can see permissions and relationships in a single place, which makes reviews much faster and more accurate. It is also useful for audit and compliance activities. Veza offers great access visibility, identity intelligence, and governance capabilities. One of the standout features is end-to-end access visibility. Veza provides a clear view of who has access to what across cloud platforms, applications, data systems, and infrastructure, making it much easier to understand permissions and identify risks. Another key feature is its identity graph and relationship mapping. Instead of looking at permissions, Veza allows me to directly show how users, role groups, and resources are connected. It is one of the most valuable features. Instead of simply showing that a user has access to a resource, it maps the entire relationship chain, such as the user, their group members, assigned roles, inherited permissions, and the actual resources they can access. This creates a clear picture of how and what access is granted. Veza provides access risk analysis and least privilege recommendations. Beyond simply showing who has access, it helps identify excessive permissions, unused access, and potential security risks. This allows teams to proactively reduce their attack surface rather than waiting for an audit and security incident. I also appreciate its cross-platform visibility. One of the biggest improvements since using Veza is that I have a much clearer understanding of who has access to critical systems and resources across the environment. This has significantly reduced the time spent on access reviews. I have also improved my least privilege initiatives by identifying excessive or unnecessary access and remediating it more efficiently. This has helped strengthen the overall security posture.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"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."
"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."
"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. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
"Compared to other tools, you'll have a lot of confidence accessing Saviynt because it's a pretty straightforward tool."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"I have seen measurable benefits with Veza, including a twenty-five to thirty-five percent optimization in access investigation and audit preparation, a thirty to forty percent reduction in access review efforts, and a twenty-five to thirty-five percent increase in speed for audits and investigations."
"It's the only current GRC vendor with licensing rights for HITRUST 11.3 framework, and I've avoided expensive HITRUST licensing costs through a custom control framework."
"Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization, and we are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure."
 

Cons

"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"Veza can be improved as it is currently not suitable for small projects due to its high cost, complex setup, and requirement for more integration with multiple systems."
"The support experience could be better."
"Veza is a strong platform, but there are a few areas where it could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"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."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
