Product Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Single secure login has simplified daily access and strengthened multi-factor protection

Okta Platform offers several valuable features. The first one is Single Sign-On, which allows users to log in once and gain access to multiple applications without needing to enter credentials repeatedly. I believe that is one of the best features. The second one is multi-factor authentication (MFA). It adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through multiple methods such as a password and a mobile verification code. I use it mostly to manage secure access to enterprise applications and cloud services. Other features include user lifecycle management and integration with cloud applications. I myself have relied mostly on multi-factor authentication (MFA) because I tend to log in every day and whenever I am working or take a break, I use this multi-factor authentication to sign in. Okta Platform simplifies identity management, improves security, and allows employees to access multiple applications through a single secure login. I believe this is a very good feature. Okta Platform has improved our organization through user authentication with features like Single Sign-On and multi-factor authentication. I believe the features it provides simplify identity management, improve security, and fulfill the need for secure and centralized identity and access management.

Principle at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities

I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

Software Engineer at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

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

"What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step."

"Since implementing Okta Platform, I have noticed measurable security and operational improvements in our cloud-based workloads."

"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"The most valuable features of Okta Customer Identity are there is no infrastructure cost, integrated, has plenty of documentation, and is user-friendly."

"Adaptive authentication in Okta Customer Identity is a flexible feature that is very secure and user-friendly."

"They have good push authentications."

"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."

"We find the solution to be reliable for our customers and it is nice that it is cloud-based and can be accessed from anywhere."

More Okta Platform pros

"We achieve two returns in the investment in a SailPoint implementation."

"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."

"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."

"Previously, when someone came on board, it took them almost a week or two to get access, to settle in, to be able to become productive; now, with SailPoint, we can get all of that done within a few hours, which has decreased the onboarding process and increased productivity."

"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."

"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."

"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."

"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Very good."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"Saviynt performs well against other products in the market; it's easy to manage and easy to use, with a simple, intuitive shopping-cart-style UI for end users to request access and follow the approval process."

"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."

"The solution handles backflow very well."

"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"Saviynt has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time for a project where we previously used a spreadsheet for manual work to keep the data."

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

"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."

Cons

"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."

"The ability or the options in the solution for changing the look and feel are not good enough because in our partner portal, essentially what they have is an ugly admin interface."

"The initial setup can be complex at first."

"We faced some challenges during the Okta Identity Workforce deployment. Integrating with AWS and other cloud services posed some limitations with federated options. For instance, features like automatic user addition from AWS to the tool were missing, requiring manual intervention. The API is limited compared to the manual configuration possible through the UI."

"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."

"The only issue with Okta Customer Identity is after the upgrade process; we have some issues with the integration between Okta Customer Identity and Jamf."

"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."

"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."

More Okta Platform cons

"The connectors should be improved."

"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."

"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."

"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."

"The customer support process is slow at times because they do not have proper language support for my clients in Latin America speaking Spanish."

"Some of the features like multi-aggregation and self healing feature in case of corrupted certificates would be pretty useful which would enable easy debugging in case of issues."

"The UI needs to be more user friendly."

"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt."

"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."

"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

"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."

"The scalability is a question mark because they have not been successful in the places where you have 200,000 to 300,000 identities."

"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is per user per month and includes full technical support."

"This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."

"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."

"The product has a user-based license model."

"Though I don't know about the licensing model of the product, I wouldn't be surprised if Okta offers a per user license subscription model."

"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."

"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."

"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."

More Okta Platform pricing and cost advice

"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."

"It is affordable licensing."

"I found the pricing to be relatively high."

"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."

"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

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

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
