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 support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"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."
"Omada's user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"User and device management is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which a person can log in remotely using only a password or pin without creating a profile or policy."
"Single sign-on, license management, and role management are the most valuable features. Integration with Microsoft 365 is also very valuable."
"Personally, I'm a great fan of Azure Active Directory due to the security and compliance features that are there in the classic or default Azure Active Directory."
"Multi-factor authentication really secures our environments and gives us the flexibility to use location-based policies. Azure AD also gives us a lot of flexibility in our scope of integration."
"The most valuable features of Azure ID are the single sign-on and OpenID Connect authentication."
"The security features, such as attack surface rules and conditional access rules, are the most valuable aspects of Azure AD."
"Microsoft Entra ID Protection and Microsoft Sentinel are both excellent monitoring features for Microsoft Entra ID."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"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 risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The product is flexible to use."
"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."
"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"I believe it can also be integrated into other Microsoft products, as well as more integrations with other solutions."
"My understanding is, in the future, they will be able to bring everything into one single platform and they are not there yet."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of its integration with the local Active Directory. There are some gaps in terms of the local Active Directory through which Microsoft is syncing our environment from our data center. There should be the availability of custom attributes on Azure Active Directory. In addition, there should be the availability of security groups and distribution groups that are residing on the local Active Directory. Currently, they are not replicated on Azure Active Directory by default."
"The synchronization between my AD and Azure AD needs improvement."
"Microsoft's technical support has shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Generally, everything works pretty well, but sometimes, Azure Active Directory has outages on the Microsoft side of things. These outages really have a very big impact on the users, applications, and everything else because they are closely tied to the Azure AD ecosystem. So, whenever there is an outage, it is really difficult because all things start failing. This happens very rarely, but when it happens, there is a big impact."
"The product needs to be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Authenticator can improve their notifications because sometimes, my team doesn't receive notifications about app updates and authentication failures."
"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."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
