Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 2, 2026

Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager and Saviynt Identity Cloud compete in the field of identity and privilege management. Saviynt seems to have an upper hand due to its robust integration capabilities and affordability.

Features: Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager provides features like removing admin rights, central security management, and Privileged Threat Analytics for alert mechanisms. It is also praised for its scalability and stability. Saviynt Identity Cloud excels in identity governance with deep integration into enterprise systems, certification and attestation functions, and ease of integration into a unified identity management platform.

Room for Improvement: Idira could improve performance and support response times, event data collection, policy management, and setup for Linux and network devices. More automation and tool integration are desired. Saviynt needs better customization of configurations, training resources, and PAM capabilities, which affect user adoption.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Idira offers flexible deployment options but faces challenges with technical support, often needing certified professionals. Saviynt offers strong cloud-based deployment with hybrid options, though support response times are slow and costly. Saviynt's cloud deployment options are generally prioritized over Idira's support features.

Pricing and ROI: Idira is expensive, pricing based on users and sessions but offers significant security ROI, making it mainly suitable for larger enterprises. Saviynt offers flexible, affordable pricing models such as pay-as-you-go, favoring cloud deployments. Both are considered valuable, with Saviynt being more competitive in terms of pricing.

Lead Consultant at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights

There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

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.

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"While CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a great tool, I believe the functionality could be wider. If it could work not only with permissions but also involve pure EDR tasks or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, it would be great."

"CyberArk meets clients' need very spot-on. It covers everything customers ask for. As for improvements, honestly, the feedback's been really positive. I haven't heard any specific areas that need work."

"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."

"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."

"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."

"It is an expensive solution."

"We pay about $17 per user."

"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."

"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."

More Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

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

"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."

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

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

"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
