We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and Saviynt based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"The most valuable functionality of the solution for us is that when employees stop working for the municipality, they are automatically disabled in Active Directory. Omada controls that 100 percent. They are disabled for 30 days, and after that time Omada deletes the Active Directory account. The same type of thing happens when we employ a new person. Their information is automatically imported to Omada and they are equipped with the roles and rights so they can do their jobs."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID is its security options, where we can provide highly effective security for user accounts during authentication."
"I like the way it communicates to the cloud."
"Being able to use Azure AD means that you can use some of the Azure AD security features like Advanced Password Protection. As well as querying your normal password requirements like lengths and complexity, Azure AD has a feature in which you can put specific words. It can be words to do with your company, words to do with your company location, or words that a lot of your employees would otherwise use. You can disallow them. It's very good at making more obvious passwords, ones they're not allowed to use anymore. That's a good feature."
"It's multi-tenant, residing in multiple locations. The authentication happens quickly. Irrespective of whether I'm in Australia, the US, India, or Africa, I don't see any latency. Those are the good features that I rely on."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to delegate roles to each individual resource, which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which a person can log in remotely using only a password or pin without creating a profile or policy."
"It is easy to manage. I can manage systems with policies and automate our systems. Any professional system can be easily integrated with Azure Active Directory. It is widely used with Windows versions."
"It's pretty easy to implement."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."
"I am not working with the product, but they have this BI tool for role-based mining, and I think that should be included in the core product rather than an add-on."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to monitoring and logging as these are the most critical areas in case something was to go wrong."
"Azure AD does not support legacy authentication protocols, such as NTLM or Kerberos."
"Azure Active Directory could improve the two-factor authentication."
"We would like to have more granularity in the Azure conditional access in order to be able to manage more groups for devices and for applications."
"In terms of stability, sometimes the more applications you integrate, the more it becomes a little bit unstable."
"The ease of use regarding finding audit information for users could also be improved."
"The integration between the Azure active directory and the traditional active directory could be improved upon."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. The price plays a factor in the rating."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"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."
