Saviynt review 2026: how far its IGA reaches beyond connected apps

The short answer

Saviynt ranks 5 (tied) of 8 at 6.15 out of 10. Its IGA states onboarding of connected, disconnected and custom-built applications and executes provisioning, certification and revocation itself. Application discovery is mentioned only briefly, in a 2022 release note, it usually replaces an existing IGA rather than sitting beside it, and it publishes no prices.
