EmpowerID Identity Governance vs Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud

EmpowerID Identity Governance manages identity lifecycles and access across cloud, on-premises, and SAP environments. It handles joiner, mover, and leaver changes, access requests, certifications, reviews, roles, delegated administration, and separation-of-duties remediation. The platform continuously compares actual access with policy, applies governed changes, and records policy, approval, fulfillment, remediation, and verification evidence. Automatic recalculation and fulfillment updates compliant access as people change roles or leave. EmpowerID lists more than 300 pre-built connectors, including Active Directory, Azure or Entra ID, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, AWS, Oracle, and Windows Server. Supported protocols include SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM 2.0, and OAuth 2.0. The Identity Fabric can run as SaaS or in customer data centers, private, public, or sovereign clouds in dedicated single-tenant environments. It is self-hosted and web-accessible. Pricing is on request. Cloud Identity Service customers need the Cloud Gateway app on at least one on-premises Windows computer.

Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud (EIC) manages and governs human and non-human access to an organization's applications, data, and business processes. It combines identity governance and administration, privileged access management, third-party access governance, and application access governance. The platform automates identity lifecycle, certification, and segregation-of-duties processes for workforce, supplier, vendor, service, privileged, and application identities. An identity and entitlement warehouse uses AI and machine learning to add risk context and recommend process actions. Saviynt Exchange lists 406 apps, including connectors for Microsoft Entra ID, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and GitHub. Custom connectors are supported, but the framework counts toward licensed app totals; partner-developed connectors are sold separately. EIC uses a cluster-based, multi-tenant architecture with isolated data, networks, and services, plus automatic updates. It supports customer-provided encryption keys and vaults. Saviynt describes data residency in more than 25 regions and lists security certifications or attestations including SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27017:2015, FedRAMP Moderate, and PCI-DSS. Pricing is on request.
