Executive Summary
Updated on Jun 7, 2023

We performed a comparison between Netskope and Saviynt based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.

  • Ease of Deployment: Saviynt's setup depends on the organization's size and configuration needs, while Netskope's setup is generally easy, although some struggle without SSO. Saviynt requires the networking team to be properly onboarded, while Netskope's support team is available to assist with any problems.
  • Features: Saviynt is highly regarded for its backflow handling, reporting, workflows, and certification features, as well as its intuitive UI and database utility. Meanwhile, Netskope is praised for its client size, architecture, ability to work with instance IDs in Azure, and cloud app authorization based on compliance. Additionally, Netskope's reporting and tracking mechanism, built-in website classification, and protection feature are considered amazing and crucial.
  • Pricing: Saviynt's setup cost is based on the number of identities onboarded and is considered expensive. Netskope, on the other hand, offers various licensing models at a middle-range price and includes customer service and support in their licensing fees. Saviynt offers more capabilities but may have additional costs for features like privilege or extra management. Netskope's setup cost may require additional operational costs and subscription process improvements.
  • Service and Support: The technical support for Saviynt has received criticism for being unresponsive and causing delays, while Netskope's support is generally considered good, though some customers have had trouble with responsiveness during critical situations. Both products offer support in English and Portuguese.
  • ROI: Measuring the ROI of Saviynt is challenging, whereas Netskope has shown positive ROI for one user. However, measuring Netskope's effectiveness is difficult due to the nature of security breaches.

Comparison Results: Saviynt has more comprehensive features than Netskope, including backflow handling, certification features, and global third-party user management. Saviynt also has an intuitive UI, in-depth identity knowledge, and report generation features. However, Saviynt's technical support and licensing costs need improvement. Netskope is praised for its protection features and better client size and architectural components, and ability to work with instance IDs in Azure. Netskope's technical support is generally good, and the initial setup is easy. However, Netskope needs better integration with other solutions, improved support services, and more visibility on the reporting side.

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator.""The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."

More Lookout Pros →

"Their technical support is very good.""The feature that I like best is the GUI.""The most valuable features were related to discovery, data protection, and ensuring compliance with regulations.""Technical support is pretty good.""Netskope is a really good product. I cannot segregate which features are the most valuable. We find most of the features to be valuable. It gives us what we are looking for.""Netskope has a diverse portfolio range, which includes cloud access security brokers, content filtering, behavior analytics, and security management.""It's a comprehensive security portfolio solution.""The product's analytics part is pretty fine."

More Netskope Pros →

"We have found the implementation process to be very easy.""Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications.""The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward.""Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful.""The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources.""The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners.""Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users.""The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."

More Saviynt Pros →

Cons
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now.""From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products.""Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving.""The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"

More Lookout Cons →

"There should be some granular custom roles that are not available. However, this is on the road map. There are many devices that do not have the Zero Trust feature and other enhancements available which they should have.""Technical support and the user interface could be improved.""In terms of improvements, enhancing support, particularly for OEM support with quicker response times would be beneficial.""The CSPM model needs to improve.""The configuration and user behaviour analytics can be improved.""Compatibility with other proxy polars would be helpful.""The solution's implementations can be made much easier because, currently, it is complex in nature.""I would like to have an identity theft protection function."

More Netskope Cons →

"The tool is difficult to migrate.""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.""UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully.""It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues.""Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is fair; it's comparable to our previous solution, and we carried out multiple POCs and POVs (proof of value). The product is worth the money we pay for it."
  • "Lookout is definitely on the lower end when it comes to price point and that seems to be the only differentiator. The technology is in place in this space and it's really about who is coming in at the better price point now."
  • "In terms of feature performance versus cost, they're a good value."
  • "The licensing costs are good. Prisma has much more options and support for security, but it has a higher cost. For example, Lookout costs 2/3rd of Prisma's licensing price."
  • More Lookout Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is a little expensive but it is affordable."
  • "They should work on licensing costs."
  • "The pricing is competitive."
  • "Licensing is on a yearly basis."
  • "The price of the solution is fair but it depends on your use case."
  • "There is a license required for this solution and there are many licensing models available. For example, what applications are covered as part of the license."
  • "I recall that the price was considerably cheaper than that of Zscaler. It was around 60,000 AUD for 1,000 users per year and included some training and some premier support offerings. If we wanted to take advantage of the CASB capabilities, then there was an additional subscription fee, for which we didn't have the budget. On price, I would give Netskope a three or four out of five because it's quite expensive, but it offers a lot of value."
  • "Licensing fees are paid annually."
  • More Netskope Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
  • "The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
  • "We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
  • "Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
  • "The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
  • "Saviynt has a competitive price."
  • "If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."
  • "Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
