We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and Saviynt based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"User-friendly solution."
"The identity lifecycle support is definitely valuable because we are a complex organization, and there is a lot of onboarding, movement, and offboarding in our organization. We have 31,000 users, and there are a lot of users who are constantly onboarding, offboarding, and moving. So, we need to make sure that these activities are supported. In old times, we used to do everything manually. Everyone was onboarded, offboarded, or moved manually. So, from a business point of view and an economics point of view, identity lifecycle is most valuable. From a security point of view, access review is the most important feature for us."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."
"The web feature is quite versatile. It serves as the sole server authenticator and is valuable not only with FortiGate products but also within the entire Forti system, making it highly useful for me."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"For someone concerned with multifactor authentication, I'm satisfied with the product."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"The product enables SSO."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator are easy to configure, secure, and the application has good performance."
"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."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"The product is flexible to use."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."
"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"I would like to see more support from Fortinet with tech support people who have as much expertise on the authenticator as they do on their firewalls."
"FortiAuthenticator's interface could be better."
"Improvements in the product could start from the dashboard, overall customization, and configuration."
"Integration with FortiGate could be more fluid."
"For improvement, Fortinet needs to ensure that they provide quick support to users...Fortinet sometimes needs to respond to users facing issues within an hour."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"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."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
