We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID 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."I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."
"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."
"The Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to delegate roles to each individual resource, which is great."
"Privileged Identity Management and Privileged Identity Management make controlling access considerably easier and ensure that authorized access is achieved."
"It has things like conditional access. For example, if someone is accessing sensitive information, then we could force them to do multi-factor authentication. Therefore, we can stop access if it is coming from a location that we did not expect."
"The scalability is good now, and I find it to be more stable and faster since scaling up to ESX."
"This solution serves as the basis to understand the MS SSO and MFA capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Azure AD is its ability to connect with services outside of Microsoft, although documentation is necessary to properly implement these connections."
"User and device management is the most valuable feature."
"Overall the solution functions very well, such as the ability to access it from the cloud."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."
"I think something that is key would be the group policies replication over the cloud, in order to prevent or to avoid relying on the on-premise Active Directory servers and to manage group policies."
"The downside is that we now have all our eggs in one basket with Microsoft. We have this great authentication and single sign-on, but if Microsoft has an outage in North America or globally, on Outlook or Teams, we're dead in the water... We get some type of hiccup once a quarter."
"The visibility in the GUI is not good for management. There are a lot of improvements that could make it better. It should be more user-friendly overall. It is not user-friendly because everything keeps changing on the platform. I can understand it because I know the platform, am familiar with it, and use it every day. However, for a lot of clients, they don't use it every day or are not familiar with it, so it should be more user friendly."
"Allowing for more customization would be very useful. There is a limited metadata capability. When you look at a user, there are only six pieces of information you can see, but organizations are way more complex, so having that metadata available and being able to use that for dynamic user groups and other policies would be very helpful."
"Adding a new account can be tricky."
"Something that can be improved is their user interface"
"Technical support could be better."
"The integration between the Azure active directory and the traditional active directory could be improved upon."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"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."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"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."
"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."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
