We performed a comparison between Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) and Saviynt based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Fortinet and others in Network Access Control (NAC)."The integration with Active Directory is the most valuable feature for us."
"ISE's most valuable feature is integration between IT and OTs."
"[One of the most valuable features] is just the ease of use. It's pretty simple to set up certs that we can add to our clients to make sure that they connect properly, [as is] whitelisting Mac addresses."
"The RADIUS Server holds the most value."
"The most valuable feature is the provisioning of the device so as to ensure that they are compliant with the security policy that we need to have."
"The solution enables us to do everything from one interface."
"When you push out the policy, it is able to populate the entire network at one time."
"The best features are the scalability and the license structure."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"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."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"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."
"Cisco ISE's performance could be better, faster, and more robust."
"The compliance and posture don't always work. They should make it more stable. With each upgrade, we lose some functionality. We have to wait for another upgrade."
"There can be a little bit more integration between the controller management and ISE. There are two dashboards, you have the controller dashboards, and you have the ISE dashboard it would is a way to maybe integrate that into one. That would be great. It's not that bad. It would be easier if it could be combined into one dashboard."
"In order to make it a ten, it should be more user-friendly. You need somebody who is knowledgeable about it to use it. It's not easy to use. We have to rely heavily on technical support."
"I'd like to see the logging be a bit more robust in terms of what it has baked in. If I want to do any in-depth searching, I have to export all the logs to an external platform like Elastic or LogRhythm and then parse through them myself. It would be nice if I could find what I want, when I want it, on the platform itself."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors, and the RADIUS integration needs to be improved a little bit."
"I don't see as many customers as I should adopting the onboarding feature. I think Cisco should make that process a lot easier and less intrusive on the end users' devices."
"The software is a little bit complicated to understand in the beginning, meaning the implementation. It needs proper documentation so that we can understand the options more easily."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"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 product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"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 technical support team's response time could be improved."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"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."
