Quick answer
What is Saviynt?
Short answer
Saviynt's Enterprise Identity Cloud converges identity governance (IGA), privileged access management (PAM), application access governance, and cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) in a cloud-native SaaS platform. This convergence is its primary differentiator from specialized IGA platforms like SailPoint — organizations can address both governance and privileged access from a single platform, reducing vendor sprawl. Saviynt is particularly strong in cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and is commonly shortlisted alongside SailPoint in large enterprise IGA evaluations. Verify current product capabilities and pricing with Saviynt.
- Best for
- Large enterprises seeking a cloud-native IGA platform that also addresses privileged access and cloud entitlement management without requiring separate PAM and IGA vendors. Particularly strong for organizations with significant cloud infrastructure and a desire to consolidate identity security vendors.
- When to choose
- Choose Saviynt when you want a cloud-native IGA platform that also addresses privileged access and cloud entitlements in a single platform, reducing the need for separate CyberArk/BeyondTrust and SailPoint deployments.
- When not to choose
- Avoid Saviynt if you need the deepest possible IGA feature set (SailPoint IdentityIQ has more configuration depth), if your PAM requirements are very complex (dedicated CyberArk may be more appropriate), or if you need an on-premises deployment model.
