Saviynt Reviews

Our primary use cases are for identity lifecycle management and identity governance.

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 identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product.

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.

I have been using Saviynt for twelve months. 

The whole Saviynt model is a hosted solution by Saviynt, so they hosted in their environment and it's a cloud-based offering.

It's solid enough, it performs well.

I know our people have contacted their support and they found them to be quite responsive.

On one level there are not a lot of differences between Saviynt and IdentityIQ. They both try to do almost the same things. Both of those products address much the same marketplace, and they do it in slightly different ways, but only slightly different. They basically offer the same features, so they're very similar solutions.

The setup is as complex or straightforward as the customer needs it to be. It's generally easy to get started, but like any system, if the client is complex in requirements, then generally it takes a lot more effort to get set up. Saviynt is good if you've got fairly straightforward requirements. It goes in quickly and easily. But as soon as you get some variations and complexity from the customer, then that takes customization, which is always involved. That's not a criticism of the platform, it's just the nature of the project.

You would certainly need specialist skills to deploy the solution.

It's certainly a very worthwhile and solid product. I think organizations need to understand what they're trying to achieve before they start these projects. If they're looking for the range of things that Saviynt offers, then it is a very solid product.

I would rate Saviynt an eight out of ten. Nothing is a 10 and it's got some edges that need to smooth out as it matures. There are certain things that it doesn't do as elegantly as it could, but that's like most products, nothing's ideal. It's a very tameable product.

I've got no particular as to which features could be added. It's just a matter of how you customize it to meet requirements. If you can live within the boundaries of what comes out of the box, it's very simple and straightforward, but very few organizations do that. So, the ability to accommodate customization is always an area that needs to be focused on.

If the customer is looking at identity management as an access risk problem, not as an operational excellence solution, then we approach them with Saviynt. Our customers are enterprise-level so that means they have anywhere from five to ten thousand users.

The first valuable feature is the approach to solving the identity problem. Access risk is the focus of solving any problem. The second is their deeper integration with enterprise systems, like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS. Deeper integration brings instability into the intact elements and ongoing systems. That angle of the deeper integration is not available with any of the products. That gives Saviynt an edge.

I think their interface is one clear area of needed improvement. Also, Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs. The interface could also be more intuitive to the user.

We have been working with Saviynt for a few months now.

The stability of Saviynt is one of the concerns that we have heard from customers.

The scalability is a question mark because they have not been successful in the places where you have 200,000 to 300,000 identities. I have not seen any performance benchmarking for Saviynt.  

I would say that the setup was of medium complexity but it was not difficult. There are more complex products available, like Oracle, IBM, and others, so it's definitely better than those.

I would recommend Saviynt to clearly identify this solution. If you can do the proof of value first, then go for the implementation. Based on limited exposure, I would rate it at eight out of ten.

I use the solution in my company for identity governance in my projects.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease that it provides for the approvals and also for the end users, especially for the way they can submit self-service requests through the tool. The product also has some features like certifications, which are generally very helpful for projects where you kind of perform the access reviews for people.

Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement. The information that Saviynt provides in the training sessions can be a little more professional with respect to the slowness that we generally experience with Saviynt, that the total at times slow. Saviynt needs to work on the slowness of the product and try to streamline it so that there are no further hiccups in the solution from the slowness part that users face generally.

I don't find anything that needs to be addressed in the tool presently because I know that there might be more functionalities in the tool that I haven't explored yet. As of now, the tool looks good to me.

It would be better if Saviynt's support team takes less amount of time to fix any issues for the tickets submitted by the users.

I have been using Saviynt for a little over four years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

As the tool is on the cloud, the tool will always offer scalability and availability.

I think the tool is good for medium and large companies.

I have not contacted the technical support of the product, but from what I heard from my peers, I can say that there are quite a few requests that are open with Saviynt's support team, and it is something that I have been hearing for every project.

The product's initial setup phase is simple.

I haven't come across the deployment, as it is something that happens at the initial phase of any project.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I can compare Saviynt with SailPoint. Saviynt is better than SailPoint as it is a more developer-friendly product. It does not require you to do too much coding. For people who are not completely into the core development side, where they have to code everything, I would say Saviynt is something that gives many out-of-the-box functionalities. The tool is very developer-friendly and easy to use. I heard that in SailPoint, more customizations are available for business analyst kind of roles. It is really difficult to manage the stakeholders when you have too many customizations available. From a developer-friendly point of view, I would rate Saviynt as having better grades than SailPoint.

I do not frequently work with risk analytics capabilities. I have rarely come across the functionality.

The tool is very easy to use since it is developer-friendly. Integrating applications using Saviynt is easy.

In our company, we generally integrate in-house tools and applications that are built for my projects. I haven't integrated any related applications with Saviynt yet. Integration of the tool is something that varies from project to project. It completely depends on the clients' requirements. In the couple of projects I have worked on till now, I haven't seen a requirement where we have integrated the tool with AI.

I can recommend the product to others.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
