Principle at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities
I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

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

"My advice to others is if you are new to the identity access management world, and you are starting with SailPoint IdentityIQ, you have the best tool in your hand to start with."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"IdentityIQ is pretty stable compared to our previous solution, and we're satisfied with the performance."
"SailPoint support is very good."
"The ease of use is very good; it's nice that everything comes out of the box in SailPoint, and once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"SailPoint Identity Security Cloud offers simplicity and a user-friendly interface, along with excellent support from SailPoint's company."
"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."
"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."
"We use the solution primarily because of its great features."
"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."
"Saviynt has improved our organization, as it is a straightforward solution that allows you to configure things very fast, partly because of the JSON and Autobox functionality."
"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."
"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 is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
 

Cons

"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"This solution is difficult to configure."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"The cost of this solution is high."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"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 main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."
"The scalability is a question mark because they have not been successful in the places where you have 200,000 to 300,000 identities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are expensive."
"It is affordable licensing."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"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."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
