Generative AI automates access reviews and provides workflow efficiencies

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

"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."

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"PingFederate is a good product but there are limitations."

"I like PingFederate."

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

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

"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."

"It is a very stable solution."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"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."

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

"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 most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."

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

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

"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."

"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."

Cons

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

"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."

"The product is not customizable."

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

"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."

"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."

"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

"Because the application is hosted on AWS cloud, there is some dependency and that affects our bottom line."

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

"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature."

"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."

"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."

"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."

"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."

"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."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"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."

"The product is costly."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"The tool is quite affordable."

More Ping Identity Platform pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

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

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."
