Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization

Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

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

"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."

"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."

"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has a ransom detection time of less than 50 seconds."

"Falcon has the capacity to identify potential problems quickly. The administrator can deploy the agent, and the users cannot change it. This assures you that the agent remains on this device. Also, the agent can act preemptively to provide alerts about potential problems."

"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

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

"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."

"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."

"The product has a great attestation feature."

"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."

"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."

"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."

"We sometimes get false positives."

"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."

"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."

"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."

"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."

"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."

"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."

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

"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."

"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."

"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."

"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."

"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."

"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."

"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."

"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."

"Annual licensing."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

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

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

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

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"

"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."
