A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

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 of this solution is that it is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"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."
"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."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
 

Cons

"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"Product management should be improved."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"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."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are 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."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
