Offers good support and multifactor authentication
I've been managing it in my company. I am more on the implementation side We implement the MFA feature, multifactor authentication and administrate the application. When it comes to authentication, the focus is always on security. That means using a separate device to verify the user logging in.…

Flexible tool with fast configuration and very good scalability
It has very good scalability. We can easily include the tenants and do the networking in AWS or Azure, depending on where it has been deployed. Saviynt is better for medium size clients, and we have about 50,000 users. It can be implemented for 500,000 people or even 2000. However, the solution does not work very well as the number of users increases. We only require two people for deployment and maintenance. We have plans to increase our usage because when we want it to connect to the other SaaS applications, we will be able to connect to SaaS products better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based capabilities for handling cloud applications and providing authentication and authorization through OIDC and SAML. It also supports integrations needed for both local and internal applications, including legacy applications requiring web server access."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
 

Cons

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."
"The product is not customizable."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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 solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"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."
"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."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The product is costly."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"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."
