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 most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"It's pretty stable as a product."

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."

"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."

"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."

"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."

"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple."

"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, reducing that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less and decreasing the joiner-leaver lifecycle time to a couple of days, benefiting them significantly."

"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."

"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's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."

"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."

"The product has a great attestation feature."

Cons

"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."

"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."

"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."

"The product is not customizable."

"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."

"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."

"From the improvement perspective, they could bring IGA capability, which right now they only have in their SaaS offering."

More Ping Identity Platform 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."

"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."

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

"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."

"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."

"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."

"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."

"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
