Streamline identity lifecycle management with intuitive interfaces and robust policy features

The functions of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle, especially the IGA, are quite strong with their custom forms and workflows integrated. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall. However, it still has to be on-premise and the cloud version is not easily accessible, as dedicated instances are required and machines cannot be shared as multi-tenant for various customers. The advanced policy features of RSA definitely help in defining certain policies such as segregation of duties. That's particularly useful along with creating different access reviews. Regarding access control in simplifying access management, RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle has strong foundations of groups and roles, which help in defining all policies very easily. This makes it very easy to integrate with other access management tools or privileged access management tools.

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 data collection is excellent and easy to do."

"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."

"RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections."

"The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do."

"Never - one thing I can say about RSA is that the boxes are stable and solid."

"Customer service was always exceptional and if we needed to call the regular customer support number for administrative tasks on the account, they were always helpful and resolved our cases within a few days."

"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."

More RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle pros

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

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

"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."

"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."

"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."

"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution."

"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."

"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"The stability of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve; it has some bugs that need to be fixed."

"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."

"It could be a little more flexible with the installation of the product."

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs."

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume."

"Application and appliance stability needs improvement."

More RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle cons

"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."

"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. But there are not too many problems."

"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."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

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

"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."

"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."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."

"We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."

"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

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

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

"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"

"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 has a competitive price."

"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
