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

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

"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."

"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

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

"It is a scalable solution."

"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

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

"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."

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

"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."

"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."

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

"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."

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

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."

"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."

"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."

"We had issues with the stability."

"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."

"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."

"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."

"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

"The technical support team's response time could be improved."

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

"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 tool is difficult to migrate."

"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."

"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."

"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud cons
