Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support. More than resolving issues, their responsiveness to concerns is exceptional.

Offers responsive support and moderate pricing for streamlined identity management
How has it helped my organization?
What is most valuable?
Partnership and expanding the identity scope are valuable features, particularly in touching aspects of authentication. When presenting to the board or leadership who have experience with Unix, Linux, OS, and Windows, discussing multiple products for identity solutions can be challenging. Currently, one needs to discuss Open Text for identity account management, Saviynt for identity governance, another solution for single sign-on authentication, and DigiCert for certifying authority. The portfolio could be expanded to provide a comprehensive solution where three actions on identity and access management can be handled by SailPoint, Saviynt, or Okta.
The pricing of Saviynt is moderate compared to other players such as Open Text or Oracle, which had huge volumes. Saviynt's operational costs and other aspects have been clarified. Compared to Oracle's significant costs, Saviynt's products are quite convenient. Saviynt could expand into authentication, the single sign-on market, and multi-factor authentication. The authentication market presents significant opportunities where they could bring additional controls under their umbrella.
What needs improvement?
One area for improvement is Saviynt's training platform. They could enhance their training arrangements for partners and build a stronger partnership environment. When discussing Azure or AWS-related products, I have observed many local partners entering the market successfully. Saviynt needs to increase their partnerships with local players to penetrate the market more effectively. They can focus on product development and announcements while partners could manage sales and provide services and support.
A potential weakness in Saviynt stems from my experience as a customer. While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years. They might benefit from having an even stronger technical team to understand historical context. Although they already have industry veterans with 20 years of experience, having additional identity veterans or strong identity presence would provide a competitive advantage.
What other advice do I have?
It depends on the type of solution product and the role and responsibility. In my previous role in operations services delivery, I could influence product decisions within my responsibility. In my current security role, I focus on existing products and provide updates. During peer review forums and business requirements discussions, I suggest Saviynt solutions when appropriate, noting their strong team development. For PCI-related requirements, I recommend Okta, as they have delivered numerous solutions for JP Morgan and other banking clients. For energy-based discussions, I often recommend Saviynt, particularly for shared access management or account access management.
SailPoint remains a strong recommendation, as the identity market needs more robust partnerships. While various technology platforms in servers, networking, and other areas have established partner networks, the identity field lacks such comprehensive partnership structures. This issue needs to be addressed.
Overall rating: eight out of ten.
Good product with enhanced capabilities
Great Product
An IDaaS solution with low foot print on enterprise network.
Documentation is easily accessible.
Currently we are looking for a flexible way to enable MFA erollment for users when they are on-boarded on to IGA. Would like to know if Saviynt is planning to enhance the features to support MFA enrollments with Ping ID (not just user creation in Ping ID).
It would be great if users dashboard can be customised to have additional tile to view their MFA enrolments on Ping ID.
It would be highly useful if we can add custom jar files without having to hardcode secrets. One way of acheving this is to enable the jar file to access connection objects configured in saviynt which is not possible at the moment.
IGA tool implementation
Easy to use, developer-friendly, and simple to integrate with other applications
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution in my company for identity governance in my projects.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Saviynt for a little over four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Comes with an user-friendly GUI that is straightforward for users and admins
What is our primary use case?
We use the product in our company from an internal perspective.
What is most valuable?
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.
Its valuable features include workflows, data management, and cloud integration capabilities.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable. You will just have to add clusters to scale up.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted technical support yet.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Saviynt's pricing is reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
Regarding integration capabilities with other IT systems, I believe Saviynt is effective, as they offer integration with several prebuilt solutions. However, I haven't handled the integration aspect personally, as our experienced technical team takes care of those tasks.
We collaborate with leaders in the market and have extensive experience working with a variety of prominent companies. Our clientele includes government institutions, private sector entities, mining companies, airlines, and companies in the banking and financial sectors.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

What other advice do I have?
