Has delivered strong identity automation while support response could be faster
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Some of the best features of Saviynt are that it is a complete IGA package and, compared to others, it is one of the leading solutions for identity governance solution, as seen in Gartner. A majority of the companies are utilizing Saviynt and SailPoint.
Their analytics-driven approach has helped with identifying potential risks because they have comprehensive capabilities. With this analytics-driven approach, they have features that handle human and non-human identity threats, although I'm not certain how they implement it. With the new releases, they have built-in AI automation, and they provide excellent analytics reports through AI.
What needs improvement?
Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete. They have an inbuilt PAM solution, but they are not capable of handling all PAM solutions because they have very limited features. They have different vendors for PAM solutions, such as Delinea and CyberArk, which have dedicated solutions for PAM. Compared to those vendors, Saviynt is only at 50% capability. IGA is their strong suit, but PAM capabilities are very limited.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have spent considerable time with Saviynt as we are partnering with them for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the product is satisfactory because there is no downtime. It handles operations through different disaster recovery phases in the backend. They operate the service model across different time zones, and there is good stability without downtime.
How are customer service and support?
Their support deserves a rating of seven out of ten. They respond consistently, but they are somewhat lacking in troubleshooting due to a shortage of support staff.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for Saviynt is instantaneous. If you request the vendor, they can provide access, as it is a license-based purchase.
What about the implementation team?
For deployment, there is no need for development with Saviynt. It is a predefined, built-in package, and we can utilize everything with the out-of-the-box connector. Once we get the product, we can handle the implementation from our side.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Pricing for Saviynt, compared to SailPoint, is more competitive.
Saviynt is less expensive than SailPoint. 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. However, SailPoint needs extensive customization in terms of implementation. Price-wise, SailPoint is costlier, but organizations choose either solution based on their requirements. All finance and banking sectors prefer SailPoint because they have both on-premises and cloud solutions. While Saviynt also offers cloud and on-premises options, SailPoint has a superior on-premises solution called IIQ, which is why finance and banking industries prefer SailPoint.
What other advice do I have?
With either SailPoint or Saviynt, I utilize this product, as do some of my clients, with AWS as a main cloud provider. We are not using AWS; we were using only Saviynt. We never used AWS because we don't have any customers for AWS.
Saviynt likely uses an AWS server for their database, though I'm not certain how they utilize AWS services.
The cloud-native capabilities of Saviynt contribute to enhanced cloud security as they are operating a cloud-based solution. Saviynt's capabilities for automating user provisioning and access are excellent, and their IGA functionality is perfect.
The specific details about their IGA capability show excellence in terms of automated onboarding, off-boarding process, and JML processes, making it a strong solution in this market.
I rate Saviynt 8 out of 10.
Market leader in Cloud Identity Administration and Governance
What do you like best about the product?
Least footprint on your on-prem and out of the box capabilities on the cloud makes it the best fit solution for both small and large enterprises
What do you dislike about the product?
while most of the features are available out of the box, there are certain limitations - like customisation of the tool as per the requirements on some modules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the lifecycle management of users, partners and applications for the users.

Good Product, some issues with support
What do you like best about the product?
The product is generally intuitive and doesn't require too much customization to get going. Getting connections to work is pretty easy, and for the most part there is decent documentation around how to set things up.
What do you dislike about the product?
When issues arise, it is difficult to get agents that can get to the root cause. Often they request meetings that end up being a rehash of what we have in the original ticket. Tickets stay open far too long before resolution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working towards having a centralized IAM environment where a product like Saviynt can be the source of truth for everything identity related. Saviynt as a product is proving to be capable of doing this although there are some concerns around scaling.
Offers responsive support and moderate pricing for streamlined identity management
How has it helped my organization?
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.
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.
Enables swift deployment and operational management in large projects
What is our primary use case?
We are an added value distributor. We deliver vendor models on the ground. We have a specialized team handling sales, technical, pre-sales, deployment, and project management. We focus on large government projects with a high number of users. We have recently signed up with Saviynt and are starting with small to mid-sized projects.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance. We recently closed a project quickly, which is a good sign. Saviynt is easy to deploy, manage, and maintain. These aspects make it suitable for our operations, especially in terms of operational management, maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, which are crucial for our customers in Saudi Arabia.
What needs improvement?
We are in the deployment stage, so it's too early to determine specific improvement areas. However, bringing more people on the ground could enhance Saviynt's market presence. While Saviynt has potential, testing in large environments is essential to assure its capabilities. There may be areas for potential improvements, such as enhancing AI features and integrating with third-party vendors, but this needs to be assessed post-deployment.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Saviynt for approximately three months.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The deployment process for Saviynt is straightforward, simple to execute, and does not pose any major challenges.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Saviynt is still under deployment and has not yet been launched. Therefore, its stability is undetermined at this stage, and an evaluation will be possible after two months.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Saviynt is very easy to deploy and scale. I can currently rate its scalability at eight, with room to potentially reach a ten.
How are customer service and support?
Saviynt's technical support is effective, as they have a presence in Saudi Arabia with dedicated sales and technical personnel. I rate their technical support at eight out of ten as they are on the right track by establishing themselves in the market.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Saviynt is easy and straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Saviynt is very affordable compared to its competitors. It is cloud-based, making it significantly cheaper than on-premises solutions. This cost-effectiveness aligns well with the Saudi market, where there is a growing preference for cloud solutions.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We are also working with other solutions like SailPoint, Swivel, and CyberArk, which are part of our technology offerings.
What other advice do I have?
We need to test Saviynt on larger environments to fully evaluate it. Once tested, we can provide a more comprehensive assessment. It is recommended to enhance features like AI integrations after deployment. I would recommend this solution because it is easy to deploy, manage, and maintain. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Most Reliable Identity and Access Management (IAM) system
What do you like best about the product?
Saviynt is a platform designed for end users, known for its simplicity and straightforwardness. It consistently receives multiple updates each year, enhancing its functionality. The tool is easy to configure and is excellent for running certifications across line managers and EO/RO reviews. One of its standout features is the highly praised customer support. Overall, I believe Saviynt is the best tool among all IAM solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are occasional issues when configuring certifications using around 50,000 User IDs. However, these problems do not occur when using user key configurations. I am hopeful that Saviynt will address and resolve this issue in upcoming updates.

Saviynt is helping us to run certification on regularbasis which helps us to remove un autherized access.
