Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 6, 2024

Oracle Identity Governance and Saviynt compete in the identity management solutions sector, with each delivering unique strengths. Based on the comparisons, Saviynt appears to have an advantage due to its flexibility and efficient integration capabilities.

Features: Oracle Identity Governance offers comprehensive identity lifecycle management, integration with Oracle's product suite, and a robust auditing system to manage user activities and access privileges. Its advanced resource management allows for detailed searching, viewing, and modifying of resources. Saviynt excels in providing streamlined identity governance, offering user-friendly setups with extensive connector support that enhances its integration with multiple systems and platforms. Its access governance features are highly efficient and flexible, making it adaptable to a wide range of environments.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Identity Governance needs enhancement in system complexity and user experience; users often face a steep learning curve and complex support requirements. Saviynt requires improvements in customization capabilities and stability, especially under high-demand processes. It also faces challenges in enhancing customer support responsiveness and expanding functionality depth.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Identity Governance is designed for on-premises deployment, catering to enterprises with existing infrastructures, while Saviynt offers flexible deployment options, including public, private, and hybrid clouds, appealing to cloud-focused businesses. Saviynt is praised for quicker support responses compared to Oracle, which often needs escalations to resolve issues effectively.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Identity Governance is often perceived as expensive, especially with high implementation costs, but offers extensive customization options for complex needs. Saviynt, slightly more affordable, uses a subscription model that is attractive to budget-conscious organizations. It competes well with other SaaS solutions in pricing, providing flexible licensing that aligns with diverse organizational needs, offering a balance between cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

Identity workflows have delivered strong governance but remain complex to install and customize

I would describe the installation of Oracle Identity Governance on-premises as quite complex. Very complex. To install the product, it took us maybe three or four days to get it up and running just to go through the installation procedures. I repeated the same exercise in 2017 because I also migrated from 11c to 12c. That was the migration in 2017 that I managed. The migration took a long time. It took two to three years to be able to literally migrate all the code that I had. So it was quite complex. To summarize it quickly, I would describe the product as complete, very powerful, and very capable. However, it is extremely complex because Oracle relies on their own framework to customize and develop and fine-tune the functionalities. It is not Java, it is not some public framework. It is Java-based more or less, but it has their own Oracle framework for development and that makes the product quite complex to harness.

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

"Because OIM has a Java API, you can develop scripts and automate tasks, and integration with other products written in Java is easy, more or less."

"Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) really stands out in user account creation, provisioning, SSO, and compliance support, with granular self-service functions that can be customized to suit an organization's needs and extended by building and integrating what you cannot find out of the box."

"The one thing that stands out was is the automatic sign-out when an employee goes on vacation. Identity Governance can monitor when an employee goes on vacation and returns. We use this feature to automatically disable all the employee's accounts when they go on vacation, and they're automatically enabled when they come back."

"Oracle support is excellent."

"We now have better control of our identity data and entitlements in target systems."

"It helps provision the required accesses through policies, approvals, and whatever would be the business requirement."

"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."

"What I found most useful in Oracle Identity Governance, feature-wise, are provisioning, de-provisioning, and termination. Those features are very good. Oracle Identity Governance can also be easily integrated with non-Oracle products, which I find valuable."

More Oracle Identity Governance pros

"We use the solution primarily because of its great features."

"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity, and everything is through a single click, so we get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."

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

"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."

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

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

"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."

"The first valuable feature is the approach to solving the identity problem, where access risk is the focus of solving any problem, and the second is their deeper integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS, which gives Saviynt an edge."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."

"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."

"Though Oracle advertises integration of Oracle Identity Manager – Oracle GRC and Oracle EBS works, but it never works in real time."

"They need to improve their backup strategy."

"The product's initial setup phase is difficult compared to other tools."

"I would like to see automation in the solution. We need also integration with the Identity Manager. The solution needs to improve in the application integrations part. It also needs to focus on application deployment as well."

"Oracle's support is not as good as that of other vendors."

"My pain point was while migrating my current user base."

More Oracle Identity Governance cons

"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."

"Over the past year, my company faced some difficulties with Saviynt. For example, some of the onboarding projects have been blocked due to responses from Saviynt."

"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."

"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."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

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

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

"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."

"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."

"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."

"I can't say much about the pricing for Oracle Identity Governance because it's different from one geography to another. In India, the license price costs less than in other geographies."

"The price is based on the number of users per year."

"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."

"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."

"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."

More Oracle Identity Governance pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"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."

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