Centralized control has strengthened privileged security and simplified audit investigations

While One Identity Safeguard is a strong and reliable PAM solution, there are a few areas where it can be further improved to enhance user experience and scalability. Regarding the user interface and experience, the UI, while functional, can be a bit complex for new users. A more intuitive and modern dashboard with simplified navigation would improve adoption, especially for non-technical stakeholders. Regarding integration flexibility, although it supports major integrations, expanding out-of-the-box connectors for more cloud-native apps, DevOps tools, and SaaS platforms would be beneficial. Faster and simpler API-based integrations could reduce deployment efforts. Regarding scalability and performance in large enterprise environments, performance tuning and scaling can require additional efforts. Enhancing seamless scalability and high availability configuration would improve enterprise readiness.

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

"One of the most important aspects is that it is very easy to use and install. It is also agentless, so all of the operations happen more smoothly than any other product."

"Safeguard by One Identity has had a positive impact on my organization and my clients' projects, as several customers ended up satisfied after implementation and continued to use the product."

"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center, and it is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."

"One Identity Safeguard is powerful because it provides beneficial features that support clean integration with different tools, significantly improving security and automation processes."

"My advice for others looking into using One Identity Safeguard is that it is a great solution for simple tasks, with a good price and good functionality."

"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."

"One Identity Safeguard has made a noticeable positive impact on our organization by giving us much better control and visibility over privileged access."

"One Identity Safeguard brings access control, auditing, and credential management together in a single solution, making day-to-day administration more efficient."

More Safeguard by One Identity 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 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."

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

"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."

"The product has a great attestation feature."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"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 solution handles backflow very well."

Cons

"The initial deployment and configuration can be complex, especially for organizations with larger hybrid environments."

"One Identity Safeguard could be improved with a more user-friendly interface and simpler initial setup, as the learning curve can be somewhat steep."

"Reporting and dashboard customization with One Identity Safeguard should be better improved."

"The integration part seems a bit challenging because some tools cannot be integrated properly with it."

"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."

"I think Safeguard by One Identity could be improved by making the user interface a little simpler and more intuitive, especially for new administrators."

"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."

"One Identity Safeguard can be improved with a more modern and intuitive interface, better troubleshooting and diagnostic tools, enhanced real-time monitoring and reporting, and stronger integration with cloud and hybrid identity platforms to simplify administration and improve operational visibility."

More Safeguard by One Identity cons

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

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

"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."

"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."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."

"The license is around $3,000 per month."

"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

"We have a yearly license. The cost depends on how much a company wants to invest in technology. In our organization, we believe in modern digitization and automation processes so we found it affordable. One Identity was not that much less than other solutions and it is not a cheap solution. There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."

"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."

"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."

More Safeguard by One Identity pricing and cost advice

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

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

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

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

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

"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"
