Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."It provides automatic provisioning/update/deprovisioning workflows from a source system to a target system."
"The solution is stable."
"The biggest thing for us is Active Roles saves a lot of man-hours in keeping groups up-to-date manually or trying to write some sort of script that you have to run, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Instead of when every time somebody joins a department, then somebody has to remember to put in a request to add "meet user Joe" to this group, the solution does it automatically for us. Therefore, it saves our business and IT staff time because they do not have to process requests since Active Role can do it for them."
"The provisioning and deprovisioning saves a lot of time and skips a lot of errors."
"It's valuable to us in that it resembles the native tools that most people have grown accustomed to... Active Roles resembles traditional tools, such as from Microsoft. That is really good because it eases the way people interact with the tool."
"Having a tool to manage all changes to AD from a single pane of glass is awesome."
"In comparison to native Active Directory tools, using Active Roles for delegation is so much better. It uses an access template and that makes it easy to see who can access what. In fact, you can do that for many objects as well."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, it could be made even more user-friendly for administrators when they need to create new workflows and rule sets."
"Another issue we have with the product is that we run a lot of custom tasks. You have to program them to run on one particular host and there's no automatic failover to a second host. If that host is down when a task is supposed to run, it has to wait until the next time it runs when that host is up."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
"It also has workflows and those are really powerful, but there are no built-in workflows. When it comes to them, it's empty. I would personally love for it to come with ten, 15, or 20 workflows where each achieves a certain task... I could just look at how each is done, clone them, copy them, modify them the way I want them, and be good to go. Right now we have to invent things from scratch."
"The user and group management in Azure AD could be better. Our focus these days is dynamic sharing with several on-prem Microsoft applications like SharePoint."
"The ability to send logs to a SIEM would be very beneficial."
"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 technical support team's response time could be improved."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"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."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
