Centralized identity governance has automated lifecycle management and simplifies compliance
One Identity Manager could be improved by making the initial setup and configuration simpler, especially for complex workflows and integrations. The user interface and reporting dashboards could also be more modern and intuitive with better out-of-the-box analytics. Additionally, clearer documentation and faster implementation guidance would help organizations get value more quickly. One specific challenge my team encountered was the complexity during initial configuration, especially when setting up custom workflows and role models which required more time and expertise. We also felt that out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are limited, and more customizable real-time analytics would be helpful. Better documentation and guided setup wizards would make adoption easier, particularly for teams new to identity governance tools. One improvement I think One Identity Manager needs is the enhanced self-service experience. The end-user self-service portal could be more intuitive with clearer guidance for access requests and password resets. Additionally, while integrations are solid, deeper cloud-native connectors and API-driven automation would help in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A more responsive mobile interface or dedicated app for approvals and tasks would help managers who are often on the go. One more improvement is the built-in predictive insights or trend dashboards around access patterns and risk could improve proactive governance. More descriptive error messages and in-tool troubleshooting tips during setup configuration would reduce dependency on external documentation or support.

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 feature for me is the built-in security, which is the best that I have seen."
"I am a strong advocate for One Identity Manager because it provides a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users, data, and privileged accounts."
"The self-service functionality of One Identity Manager is arguably the most valuable feature."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability for business people to input their knowledge about business processes directly into the product. It's a good tool for anyone familiar with business or technical administration. The shopping cart capability for requests and the catalog features were also initially valuable."
"The company policies feature is really good because in workflows you can check whether the policies are all working."
"The most valuable features include the automated attestations or recertification... The time that people have to focus on their real jobs and not spend it doing recertifications is huge."
"You can scale it quite big, which is good. It has good sizing."
"An outstanding feature of One Identity Manager, compared to SailPoint, is the dashboard where they present everything. With the dashboard, the customer can see how the integrations have happened."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"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."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"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, reducing that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less and decreasing the joiner-leaver lifecycle time to a couple of days, benefiting them significantly."
"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The product is flexible to use."
"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."
 

Cons

"Because their company is so focused on just their tool and related technology, they can't support you much. At times, it becomes frustrating. While you are paying a little less than your competitors, you expect some support, compliance, or expertise from the company. If a certain load balancer is unable to handle your tool, you should know what load balancer would be perfect or what configuration you should use."
"The initial setup was complex. We have a lot of different systems. The journey from implementing to joining all the systems was difficult."
"There are too many different user interfaces. For example, one is the designer and another is the manager. There's also a web interface and an object browser. It would be helpful to consolidate all of those into a single administrator portal."
"I also find it difficult to add resources to the business roles because we have to use many options in One Manager for that. We have to add it to the IT shop so that the users can submit requests through the web portal, and we must generate that IT shop structure to add resources to the business. There is a lot of complexity in that."
"I would like some access management features to be added. We have some customers with a small need to do authentication as a service, and there are other solutions on the market which offer this."
"The performance is quite bad, but this is because we have a very old version."
"We take screenshots with the time stamp and give them to the auditors. That's cumbersome to do, even if we're only audited once or twice yearly. I take a screenshot and then show them the time to prove that the configuration is consistent. We have built-in processes to take regular screenshots and store them in a secure place for the auditors. It would be helpful if One Identity store the configuration details as a snapshot. It would also help with any rollbacks or change reviews that the organization might want to do."
"The performance could be better. I also think One Identity could improve its documentation for developers. Many of One Identity's features aren't fully documented. We don't have enough information on how to use them."
"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 technical support team's response time could be improved."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"On-premises, it is cheap. It is way cheaper than others. The cost of the hosted one varies. They do offer a hosted one, and its cost varies, but it is not that expensive. You have a license for employees and a license for support."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"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."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
