How does Saviynt score on each criterion?
States application onboarding for connected, disconnected and custom-built applications 'in hours, not weeks'.
Usage modeling of accounts and entitlements to find access that is no longer needed.
Onboarding, account creation, granting and revoking access as core IGA functions.
Certification campaigns with intelligent recommendations; claims up to 75% less reviewer workload.
Continuous compliance monitoring and complete audit evidence collection.
A full IGA and PAM platform; usually replaces, rather than sits beside, an existing IGA.
No public pricing.
What does Saviynt do for identity lifecycle management?
Saviynt's IGA module, part of the Saviynt Identity Platform, covers 'onboarding new users, creating accounts, granting and revoking access privileges', continuous access reviews and certification campaigns with intelligent recommendations. Saviynt claims AI assistance reduces reviewer workload by up to 75%. The platform also offers application access governance, privileged access management, just-in-time access and non-human identity products.
How does Saviynt handle disconnected applications?
Saviynt is the only IGA vendor in this set whose IGA page names disconnected applications directly: its Application Onboarding capability integrates 'connected, disconnected, homegrown, and more' and the vendor says this takes 'hours, not weeks'. It also describes usage modeling of accounts and entitlements to find unnecessary access. What Saviynt does not describe on the pages reviewed is automatic discovery of applications nobody has registered; onboarding assumes you know the app exists.
What audit evidence does Saviynt produce?
Saviynt describes continuous compliance monitoring and 'complete audit evidence' collection. The platform itself lists FedRAMP, SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS. KuppingerCole named Saviynt an Overall Leader in IGA in 2026, according to Saviynt's home page.
What are the watch-outs?
- A full platform. Adopting Saviynt usually means replacing or consolidating an existing IGA, which is a longer project than adding a discovery layer.
- No public pricing.
- Discovery of unknown applications is not described; pair with an inventory source if your app list is incomplete.
Who should shortlist Saviynt?
Organizations choosing or replacing an IGA platform that want disconnected and custom applications governed in the same system as connected ones, with PAM and application access governance from one vendor.
FAQ
Does Saviynt govern disconnected applications?
