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

"I like PingFederate."

"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."

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."

"This is a user-friendly solution."

"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

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

"It's pretty stable as a product."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"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."

"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."

"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."

"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."

"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."

"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

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

"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

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

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

"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."

"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."

"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."

"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

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

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

"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."

"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."

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

"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."

"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

"The product is costly."

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

More Ping Identity Platform pricing and cost advice

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

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

"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."

"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."

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

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

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