Featured Reviews

VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is flexible to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"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. 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."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"Incident response is one of the key areas where the solution has been very useful. Whenever there is an incident, instead of being reactive, the government is now able to quickly gain the data that it needs to see what its end agency is also seeing and partner with them in real-time to look at the same data and to collaborate where needed, empowering the agency to be able to do their job."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity is very lightweight as an agent or software."
 

Cons

"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"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."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"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 lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The policies could be more precise, and Singularity should use more templates like alternative solutions have. Endpoint management is poor. We cannot manage individual endpoints and must rely on policies, exclusions, or block lists to apply settings to a group instead of the individual agent. If I have to make settings for one computer, I need to create a group, apply the configuration, and move the agent there. It's challenging to manage endpoints that way."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"I don't like SentinelOne's reporting tools. Their reports seem fine theoretically, but the issue is the sample size. For example, it will report that there were four incidents, and that equals 25 percent fewer incidents compared to the previous months. It would be a great improvement if I could expand the range to see reports for the last six months, but it's always one month. That would be an easy thing for them to resolve."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"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."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"The price is affordable."
