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 most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."
"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"The customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"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."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"The ability to grant access to other organizations is helpful."
"The centralized management feature is very valuable."
"It's a quite comprehensive solution and it scales quite well within our required scale as well, which is very useful."
"We use Verified ID to select and deselect users. During the pandemic, we had many users who left our organization or were no longer involved in certain projects but had their user credentials with them. To prevent data loss and data piracy, we deselected those remote users from Active Directory, and it was a very quick process."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to act as an identity provider for other cloud-based, SaaS applications. In our bank, this is the main identity provider for such features."
"The ability to see and control PCs and mobile devices is the most valuable. I can see where they are and how many we have. I can also see the age and retention of PCs."
"The best feature is the single sign-on provision for the various type of users."
"The portal version of the Azure active directory is pretty robust."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"The product is flexible to use."
"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."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"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."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"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."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."
"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's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"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."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"The initial setup was complex."
"To look at more documentation, engineering, or an open standard would be nice."
"I would like to see improvements made when it comes to viewing audit logs, sign-in logs, and resource tags."
"Compatibility features for legacy system integration with new features will be challenging at times."
"Four years ago, we had an issue with Azure AD. We wanted to reverse sync from Azure AD to on-prem Active Directory, but we couldn't achieve this. Azure AD could connect only in one way, for example, from your site to Azure. If you needed to do the reverse and connect from Azure to on-prem, there was no way to achieve it. We asked Microsoft, and they told us that they don't support it."
"On-premise capabilities for information and identity management need improvement."
"At the free or basic level of service, Azure should provide identity protection features including single sign-on and multifactor authentication."
"I would like to be able to authenticate Wi-Fi users using the Azure ID"
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
"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."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
