Featured Reviews

Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.
VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"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."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
 

Cons

"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"The UI is not efficient."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"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."
"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."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"The price is too high."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
