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

"If someone is looking for a solution that works both for on-prem or hybrid, I strongly recommend opting for the cloud."

"Ping Identity Platform can provide a solution for both workforce identity and access management and also for consumer identity and access management, which is CIAM."

"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."

"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"It's pretty stable as a product."

"PingID is very good, it's pretty stable as a product and we've never faced any issues, at least with the data applications integration, and the customers really like it."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"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 solution handles backflow very well."

"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."

"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."

"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 most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."

"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."

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

Cons

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."

"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."

"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."

"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

"They could enhance the product's device tracking for better zero-trust security would be beneficial. Currently, it tracks IPs well but lacks detailed device information, which is crucial from a security standpoint."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

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

"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."

"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."

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

"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
