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

"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"The initial setup always was straightforward with shorter implementation times and quick benefits."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"Technical support is very responsive and when I created a ticket, they responded the same day."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"Automated accounts provisioning during the on-boarding process."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"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."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"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."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"The first valuable feature is the approach to solving the identity problem, where access risk is the focus of solving any problem, and the second is their deeper integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS, which gives Saviynt an edge."
"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."
"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."
 

Cons

"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"Broke down several times during my 4 months but overall the delays were mostly minor."
"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"I wish the support from SailPoint was a little bit faster than we've experienced so far. It has taken, sometimes, a couple of weeks to get feedback from them."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"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."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate my experience with Saviynt so far as maybe only a four-out-of-ten."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"Because the application is hosted on AWS cloud, there is some dependency and that affects our bottom line."
"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."
"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is affordable licensing."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"They are expensive."
"The solution is not cheap."
"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"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 reasonable."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
