We performed a comparison between Microsoft Identity Manager 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 administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"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."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"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."
"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"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."
"Microsoft integration products are strong. That is what I like about the product."
"The product’s simplicity and integration are valuable."
"The features that we find most valuable are security, mobility, and Single Sign-On."
"I appreciate how Microsoft keeps adding new features to Microsoft Identity Manager."
"It is a stable product. You will experience some issues with it, but it's a good product."
"The concept is primarily for the people in the business. In business, you can discuss how integrating all the services and resources within the company can bring numerous benefits."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides protection for our company documents."
"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."
"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."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"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."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."
"The product could be more friendly for non-native English speakers. It would also be better if it were more intuitive and visually attractive."
"In terms of the identity and access management solution for on-premises environment, I think Microsoft needs to eliminate or minimize the number of workloads for the solution to run in on-premises environment."
"It would be good if Microsoft Identity Manager Maybe could be integrated with Azure Active Directory directly and made as a cloud platform."
"The setup was difficult. The deployment process is not quick."
"The prices can always be improved, and the integration with the software from other vendors could use an improvement, especially if you are using something like Oracle for a database, SAP for ERP, or something like that."
"All actions require logging in to the server."
"They have to improve the User Entity and Behavioral Analysis."
"Instead of using the connectors from the third-party companies, they should make the Microsoft templates available with this product. If Microsoft would increase the number of the box connectors that would be helpful to all the customers who use it daily."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"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."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
