Featured Reviews

MAHESHKUMAR7 - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers multi-factor authentication and application support side of PingFederate but application only supports specific protocols
A lot of teams work with technical support, but I work with it for user issues only. You might need support with things like application swaps, application names, and application URLs. I didn't know where to find those in Ping Identity, so I contacted technical support for those issues. The support team is very clever and active. They provide end-to-end support once an issue is created. I have worked with most of the support team. I also work with the support team because I work with the operations team. I provide 24/7 support to production and non-production environments. I coordinate with application and network teams to troubleshoot critical tickets and issues related to Ping Identity solutions.
VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers robust features and customization options that justify the cost."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."
"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"The product is flexible to use."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
 

Cons

"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"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."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"The customer support and implementation services need to 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 product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"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."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"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."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The product is costly."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
