My main use case for Saviynt is deploying IGA solutions to our customers. For deploying IT solutions to our customers using Saviynt, one of our recent projects was to develop an IGA solution for a university, customizing it based on their needs and adding extra apps such as an Amazon connector or integrating other apps, and deploying it for them before their semester starts. It was an easy solution for them compared to their previous methods.

Saviynt review
Has reduced manual work and shortened project timelines through faster deployment and intuitive workflows
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
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. We implemented a Saviynt solution and helped reduce that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less. The joiner-leaver lifecycle time has decreased to a couple of days, benefiting them significantly. Human errors were reduced significantly because manual work was eliminated, improving efficiency in many aspects, and manual work poses a security risk. Users have a much easier experience, being able to track their requests and workflows much more easily compared to their previous methods. The time saved is what they mentioned as the most significant benefit, along with reducing errors, which we accomplished together.
What is most valuable?
Saviynt provides a very intuitive and easily understandable UI experience, and being a new user in the cybersecurity field, specifically the IGA field, it is a one-step solution for multiple aspects such as IGA, PAM, and other solutions. I have used it for IGA, and it is very user-friendly for new users and customers, which is why they love using it. It is very easy to customize compared to some other IGA solutions that I have looked into, and a lot of documents and forums are available, which is very helpful when I run into problems. Saviynt has unique qualities, including its user-friendly interface and the availability of documentation and forums where I can post questions, with quick responses compared to some other products, where I typically get answers within a week or at most a month. However, there is not much information available on Google or YouTube related to Saviynt, making it challenging when looking for specific guidance.
The best feature Saviynt offers is its UI, which I really appreciate because it is very easy to understand and use for customers as well as new users. For a developer, it is very simple, and apart from the UI, the customization it provides with workflows, endpoints, and security systems are very easy to customize. The main feature of Saviynt compared to its competitors is the user and account differentiation, which I believe no other product offers. The specific security systems, endpoints, and the ease of customization do not take long to figure out.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Saviynt on a regular basis for around three and a half to four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Saviynt is very stable in my experience. They have different versions in various countries tailored to their needs, which I find commendable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding scalability, I find it to be quite effective for organizations using it, and that should not pose a problem for anyone considering Saviynt as a solution.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is quite good, though it can take about a week to respond to a request, but that is still pretty decent compared to some other products I have used.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not used any other solution before Saviynt and have not switched, as my first solution was Saviynt itself. Although I have looked at other solutions superficially, Saviynt seemed much better since it is a company that started around 10 to 11 years ago, scaling it up for customer focus rather than developer focus.
What other advice do I have?
Saviynt is typically deployed on AWS since the product is already deployed by the company itself, but I do not know the specifics, as I have not looked into this aspect in depth.
Saviynt University teaches about IGA, PAM, and other solutions they offer. If I want to learn more about Saviynt and its solutions, I can enroll in the university and learn from there. According to recent information, Gemini has been fed information on Saviynt, and I hope soon Saviynt documentation will be available through chatbot, which will be helpful, and I believe that is something no other product company in the IGA field has done yet.
Most details regarding Saviynt are easily accessible in the documentation, so as a newcomer, I feel the necessary information to understand Saviynt is readily available. Although we use Saviynt and customize it for our customers, we have not directly deployed it within our organization.
One of my colleagues mentioned that they found the UI a bit difficult to understand, which could be due to the absence of a proper walkthrough by someone experienced with Saviynt. They indicated that while it was easy on the go, the request and other aspects became confusing, but after our discussion, they felt a better understanding had been achieved.
My advice to others looking into using Saviynt is to definitely go through the documentation Saviynt provides. Initially, I did not know about it, but I believe that having this knowledge early on would have helped me significantly in my initial days. The documentation would be very helpful for anyone new to Saviynt or switching from another solution. I would rate Saviynt an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. The reason behind giving it an 8 is primarily due to the positive user experience I have had, though there are some flaws to address.
