Centralized privileged access has improved control and now supports secure vendor billing oversight

The transparent mode is a seamless approach when using it. We have some issues with it, but we are working on it to make it work for us. Managing remote access for privileged users with the secure remote access feature is both easy and hard depending on the scenario we face. We have some systems that are easy and take not even a minute to set up, while others take a bit longer. We are in the middle of integrating One Identity Safeguard with the IGA solution, Identity Manager. We have some A2A setups, but it is not optimal. We are using RPA for developers, not actually RPA accounts, but that is something we are working on. We are also using the service account password rotation on the asset to some degree, and we are exploring options there. For integrating One Identity Safeguard, figuring out how password rotation works is a bit difficult because we have to make custom integrations. After that, it was no problem really. For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools. It is mostly for certain features in One Identity Safeguard that I would like some improvements. Some of the things you can do in entitlements, there is a lot you can do there, but not everything is optimal. You have to have duplicates of a lot of things to make it work the way you want.

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

"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."

"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."

"The most interesting thing about this product is it is very easy to implement and configure as well as its usability."

"This is an extremely stable product."

"Now that we're able to audit log and record what is being done, we can play back all the sessions to make sure no type of unattended usage of the privilege or elevated credentials were being used, and from securing the bank standpoint, it has helped tremendously."

"Customer Service: absolutely perfect Technical Support: Technical support is 10/10, absolutely."

"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."

"There is ease of implementation. Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."

"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."

"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, and helped reduce that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less."

"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."

"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."

"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."

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

Cons

"For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools."

"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich."

"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."

"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."

"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."

"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."

"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."

"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."

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

"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

"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."

"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

"Its subscription cost is too much, and sometimes, it is very difficult to pitch the solution to the management for cost approval. If the cost is reduced a little bit, it would be easier. If its cost was less, many other organizations that currently cannot afford it would be able to use this technology. I'm sure many organizations around the globe are having issues with identity management, and it is a very difficult task for IT to manage privileged accounts."

"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

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

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

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