We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 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."When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"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."
"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."
"Omada's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."
"We are able to onboard new user accounts much faster by automating the process and standardizing our operations globally. Previously, there were many individual processes and manual admin interactions. We also see a lot of cost savings and benefits because through automation and standardization."
"User-friendly solution."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"The customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"The web feature is quite versatile. It serves as the sole server authenticator and is valuable not only with FortiGate products but also within the entire Forti system, making it highly useful for me."
"FortiAuthenticator is a very good solution. It is all jury-based. FortiAuthenticator is very easy for anyone to understand how it works and be able to take action."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"It integrates very tightly with the rest of the Fortinet ecosystem."
"We have a perpetual license for 2FA."
"The implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is an easy-to-use solution."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"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."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"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."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."
"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"No SMS gateway from the ISP"
"There is a room for improvement. The log is a bit difficult to access, and searching the log codes is also a bit difficult. So it would be much better if, when we open a log, it could provide detailed information about errors, reasons for failure, and such."
"The product must provide 2FA for applications."
"The customization capability of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is not very flexible."
"Improvements in the product could start from the dashboard, overall customization, and configuration."
"There are multiple areas that are in need of improvement. It is not a mature product."
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
"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."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"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 technical support team's response time could be improved."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
