Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 2, 2026

Idira Privileged Access Manager and Saviynt Identity Cloud are competitive solutions in the identity management category. Idira is favored for its advanced security and compliance features, making it a strong choice for enterprises focused on these areas. Saviynt, however, has an edge with its extensive integration capabilities and user-friendly workflows, appealing to businesses seeking a comprehensive solution.

Features:Idira's notable features include advanced session monitoring, password reconciliation, and the integration of threat detection systems, offering granular control over privileged accounts. Meanwhile, Saviynt Identity Cloud is valued for its user-friendly deployment, robust reporting tools, and adaptive identity governance capabilities, which facilitate seamless cloud integration.

Room for Improvement:Idira could enhance its offering by improving its interface and expanding plugin support to boost integration capabilities and usability. Saviynt, on the other hand, could benefit from offering better customization options and strengthening its technical support, especially for managing custom application integrations and logging.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:Idira's deployment suits organizations familiar with on-premises and hybrid models but can challenge cloud transitions. Its customer support has mixed reviews, with some delay in initial responses. Saviynt, being cloud-based, offers flexibility in hybrid environments and generally receives positive feedback on customer service, despite some suggestions for quicker technical responses.

Pricing and ROI:Idira is considered expensive for smaller businesses, yet it offers substantial ROI through enhanced security, justifying its cost for larger enterprises. Saviynt's pricing, though also premium, is seen as more affordable, particularly in cloud solutions, and it delivers notable ROI by improving identity management efficiency and compliance.

CyberArk manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

Secures critical infrastructures with essential user session audit records

A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All access to our servers by both staff and vendors is monitored and recorded."

"Our go-to solution for securing against the pass the hash attack vector and auditing privileged account usage."

"It makes compliance of the organization with password management easy, resulting in a handy auditing process and adherence to all risk compliance as well."

"Allows secure, logged access to highly sensitive servers and services."

"This is a complete solution that can detect cyber attacks well."

"Once the product was deployed and we were able to give them all the tools that they have today, and they did not have to go through attestations and audits anymore and, when team members were coming in and leaving, all they had to do was put in a ServiceNow request to complete all the work, it was just something so different for them that all that friction just went away."

"It is a great product when it comes to security, and from the security point of view, I would advise a new user to use this tool and deploy it in your environment since the security is unbeatable."

"All features of the CyberArk PAS solution are valuable."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager pros

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

"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."

"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."

"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."

"Compared to other tools, you'll have a lot of confidence accessing Saviynt because it's a pretty straightforward tool."

"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."

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

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"From what I can see, the Systems Integrator is useless. When I ask for the information, nothing is given to me."

"It is easily customized, and that customization makes it very easy to start trying to shoehorn the solution into roles it was never intended to fill."

"Stability is a huge concern right now. We are on a version which is very unstable."

"The pricing is too expensive and should be reduced."

"Having a cloud version would be very helpful. You have to invest a lot of money for the infrastructure hardware so the cloud version would help."

"Their support can be better. Their SLA timings are higher than others."

"It's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."

"Improved user-friendliness, granularity, and functionality would enhance the product further."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager cons

"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."

"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."

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

"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."

"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."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

"We sometimes have performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."

"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is available at a high price"

"If you want a Ferrari, it will cost you. The solution is really nice, so it costs the client, but in the long run, it is very good. If you buy a solution that costs a lot to maintain because it is not stable, and you are frequently asking for consultant support, it costs more."

"It's per-company, license-based."

"The pricing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is quite expensive, and the pricing varies from region to region. In APAC, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be obtained for less than in North America, according to my understanding."

"It is in line with its competitors, but all such solutions cost too much money."

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."

"Since CyberArk is at the top of the Gartner list, the cost is indeed on the higher side, but customers must discern which entities are essential to purchase. They should weigh the cost against the quality received."

"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is expensive. There are no other fees other than the standard licensing fees."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager pricing and cost advice

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

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

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

"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."
