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.

Security has improved with monitored privileged sessions but the complex interface still needs work
I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic, but I have no clue about how much it costs. When I say it is not easy to use, I mean the interface is complex, but it might not be directly linked to the product; it might be linked to the way we implemented it in our context. The way we have to connect to a third Bastion and then launch another session bothers me. We also have some limitations, but I think this is linked to our context regarding how many times the session can stay open on the Windows session, which is not aligned with my needs. I am more of a promoter of other kinds of handling privileged access management with my use case, but it might not be linked to the tool; it is just because the implementation we made is not what I expect for my needs and it is not the way I want to work on my servers. In the past, I used the leader in PAM but cannot remember the name. I was more satisfied because the connection was more straightforward: I click on a button, make my authentication, and have my servers open, and this is the way I want it. The UI was the main reason why I thought the previous tool I was using was better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity, and everything is through a single click, so we get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
 

Cons

"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability is a question mark because they have not been successful in the places where you have 200,000 to 300,000 identities."
"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."
"I think it's on the lower side if you ask me about notifications and the auto-save mechanism."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting or behavioral analysis limited. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics."
"Deploying Bastion isn't as straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
