Has enabled bulk onboarding and password rotation while ensuring secure privilege management

I have faced stability issues when upgrading BeyondTrust Password Safe solution. The upgrade process can be lengthy compared to other modules. For example, upgrading the appliance and reconfiguring HA is easier in PRA. However, in BeyondTrust Password Safe, the upgrade activity can take longer, and I have occasionally experienced being stuck during appliance version upgrades, sometimes duplicating the upgrade. Regarding additional features, we have good features in BeyondTrust Password Safe compared to other modules, such as Secret Safe to secure secrets and the check-in, check-out functionality. We already have the main features, but I think it would be helpful if BeyondTrust implemented a heartbeat check feature on the privileged account level. This feature would allow PAM to check the credentials of privileged accounts, indicating if they are correct or not, showing if the heartbeat has failed if they are wrong.

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

"The features I find valuable in Password Safe include password retention and management, session privilege monitoring, live monitoring and recording, and the use of PS automation scripts for creating connections."

"I rate BeyondTrust Password Safe as an overall 10 out of 10."

"BeyondTrust Password Safe provides flexibility for customized application integration."

"Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten."

"Smart Rules is a nice feature in BeyondTrust. It is a unique feature that BeyondTrust has as compared to other vendors such as CyberArk. With Smart Rules, you can do automatic onboarding of accounts. There are a lot of options and features. For example, you can do onboarding based on different AD attributes. It is a nice feature in BeyondTrust that some of the other PAM vendors don't have. With other vendors, we have to create our own scripts, whereas, with BeyondTrust, we can just use the in-built Smart Rules."

"One of the most valuable features is that this is a product designed with enterprises in mind."

"BeyondTrust is three times less expensive than CyberArk."

"Its number one feature is discovery. The discovery engine in BeyondTrust is off the charts. When they perform a discovery, you know everything there is about a server, including what software is installed. For example, if you want to group all of your database servers together, you can do that by using discovery and Smart Rules. If a server has Microsoft SQL installed, it gets put into a group based on a Smart Rule. It makes it very easy to determine what is what in your environment. As organizations grow or acquire other companies and merge, they lose track of what they have. BeyondTrust can help you throw a rope around it very rapidly."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe pros

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"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 repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple."

"We use the solution primarily because of its great features."

"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"We face screensaver timeout issues and problems with the server. I would like the product to include a server visibility feature."

"Its documentation can be improved. Its documentation is currently complicated, and it is not good. It needs to be better. Their technical support can also be improved. It is not bad, but it can be better."

"The initial server implementation tasks could be easier to process."

"We'd like to have incremental backups to ensure the solution's information is protected regularly."

"The integration with Secure Remote Access must be improved."

"If there was one thing, it would be having the documentation standardized."

"The early version of this solution was not stable. It was terrible, but I think they eventually got their act together and it's better now so that they can compete."

"It is a complex product that has a lot of capabilities and does take some learning."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe cons

"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."

"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."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."

"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."

"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."

"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."

"On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate my experience with Saviynt so far as maybe only a four-out-of-ten."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At the time, BeyondTrust was significantly cheaper than CyberArk. Pricing-wise, if I remember correctly, it goes by assets. The pricing was negotiated for our instances based on the number of assets that we onboard into the system. It is a little different from CyberArk, where the pricing is by users. So, it depends. If you have a lot of assets, it can get very expensive."

"When you buy Password Safe and perform your initial Discovery, you have all these servers that are added to your assets in BeyondTrust, but you're not using a license until you actually start managing the systems. BeyondTrust's licensing is based on the systems when they're managed, which means when an administrator is able to connect to the server through BeyondTrust with a managed account. There would be a privileged account on the endpoint when the licensing starts. A significant advantage to that is that there are many organizations that want to evaluate their environment prior to automatic management."

"It has subscription-based licensing. BeyondTrust is three times less expensive than CyberArk."

"The pricing structure is better than the competitors. It's much cheaper than CyberArk. They do the licensing on the basis of assets, not on the number of users. For CyberArk, they base the licensing on the number of users, and they have an expensive model of pricing. BeyondTrust has a cheaper model."

"This solution is not cheap—it's a very expensive solution. Very, very expensive compared to the features and functions that they offer."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The product is quite affordable."

"The pricing of BeyondTrust is very good as compared to other products. That was the main reason we decided to go with BeyondTrust at first."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe pricing and cost advice

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"

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

"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 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."
