Sr. Cloud Security Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Centralized identity has streamlined zero trust access and automated user lifecycles

Okta Platform does what it promises that it does. It is certainly all cloud-based as a SaaS solution. For enterprises which really prefer to have their own identity within their own perimeter, Okta Platform might not be the solution they might look for. Of course, there are ways you can get your dedicated tenant, especially for governments and federal agencies and all of those things. I have not tried those use cases. I think Okta Platform is the best of the class and appears consistently at the top of the Gartner report and other research. Based on the use cases I had, I was fairly happy with it. The PAM capabilities and attribute-based access controls, ABAC, represent a new paradigm. How practical that is for enterprises to deploy largely depends upon the use cases. There is always room for improvement, and it is not just for Okta Platform but typically for every single customer identity provider. There are a lot of other things the biometric and FIDO and all of those which can certainly be improved. However, that is more of a technological constraint rather than the vendor itself.

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

"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The solution can scale very well."

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

"Having a single sign-on to all our applications."

"Overall, I would rate Okta Customer Identity a ten."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"The solution so far has been very stable."

More Okta Platform pros

"Security and administration for any new/current access."

"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."

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

"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."

"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."

"This solution is easy to configure."

"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"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."

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

"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."

"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."

"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."

"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."

"The product has a great attestation feature."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup."

"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."

"The product must be provided for free."

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

"The initial setup could be easier to do."

"What I'd like to see improved in Okta Customer Identity is the process of exporting users. Currently, it lacks this feature, and you have to use a third-party tool to export users from the group. Exporting users should be very easy, though I did notice that Okta Customer Identity is being upgraded from time to time, and I've been seeing much improvement in it compared to the previous years."

"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."

"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."

More Okta Platform cons

"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."

"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."

"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."

"Certification functions adequately. However, I think there are limitations with connectors."

"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."

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

"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."

"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."

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. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."

"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 custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."

"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."

"The cost per user for this solution is really high and could be reduced."

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

"Workforce Identity is well-priced."

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

"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."

"Price-wise, Okta Workforce Identity is a cheap solution. The overall cost depends on the license since you can negotiate with Okta or any of Okta's partners only if you opt for many licenses."

More Okta Platform pricing and cost advice

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

"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."

"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."

"The solution is not cheap."

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."

"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."

"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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 has a competitive price."

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

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

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