Adcyma vs Saviynt
Both platforms solve identity governance. One is built for enterprises with multi-cloud complexity. The other is built for mid-market companies running on Entra ID and Active Directory. Here's how to tell which one you actually need.
Start free trial - no credit card, no consultantsThe 30-second comparison
Saviynt is a powerful, cloud-native platform that converges IGA, PAM, and cloud security governance into one tool. It's built for large organizations managing identities across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hundreds of applications.
Adcyma is built for companies with 50-1,000 employees that run on Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory. Automated onboarding, offboarding, access reviews, and compliance reporting - deployed in a day, not six months.
If your identity landscape is genuinely multi-cloud and complex, Saviynt is worth evaluating. If you're an Entra ID shop that needs governance without the enterprise overhead, that's what Adcyma is for.
Where Saviynt shines
Saviynt is a serious platform and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Here's where it genuinely excels:
Cloud-native from day one.
Unlike legacy competitors, Saviynt was built for cloud. It handles multi-cloud environments natively and has strong integration across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS layers.
Converged platform.
IGA, privileged access management, and application access governance in a single tool. For large enterprises juggling separate products for each of these, the consolidation is real and valuable.
Cross-platform governance.
Saviynt connects to a wide range of enterprise applications, cloud infrastructure, and on-premises systems. Their connector library is extensive and well-maintained.
ML-based risk scoring.
Machine learning-driven access recommendations and peer group analysis help large security teams make faster decisions. When you have thousands of users and hundreds of applications, this intelligence matters.
Why mid-market companies hesitate on Saviynt
The scope is bigger than your needs.
Saviynt covers IGA, PAM, and cloud governance. If you need onboarding automation, offboarding, and access reviews for your Entra ID environment, you're paying for capabilities you won't use. Those unused capabilities still add complexity to deployment and daily management.
Pricing reflects enterprise scale.
Based on what we hear from companies who've evaluated both options, mid-market Saviynt deals typically land between €60,000 and €180,000+ per year. For a company with a total IT budget under a million euros, that's a hard number to justify for identity governance alone.
Implementation takes quarters, not days.
Even as a cloud-native platform, Saviynt implementations typically run three to six months. Discovery workshops, connector configuration, policy design, testing, and user training. Your IT team needs to carve out significant bandwidth during that period.
The multi-cloud value prop may not apply.
Saviynt's strongest differentiator is cross-cloud governance. If your company runs primarily on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID - maybe with a handful of SaaS apps - that multi-cloud capability is something you're paying for but not using.
Built for your actual situation
Adcyma is purpose-built for the gap between "doing everything manually" and "buying an enterprise platform."
Automated lifecycle management.
Define what each role needs once - groups, licenses, Teams memberships, application access. When someone joins, moves, or leaves, the right changes happen automatically. Connected to your HR system or triggered manually.
Access reviews that actually get done.
Structured campaigns with clear ownership, deadlines, and escalation. Every decision logged. Every completion tracked. Export results in a format your auditor can use without additional formatting.
Compliance reporting for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIS2.
Pre-built reports that pull the evidence your auditor needs. No assembling data from five different portals.
Operational in a day.
Connect to your Entra ID tenant or Active Directory, define your role structure, and go. No implementation partner. No multi-month project plan. No workshops.

Which one should you choose?
Choose Saviynt if:
- You have 1,000+ employees
- You manage identities across multiple cloud platforms (not just Azure/Entra)
- You need converged IGA and PAM in one platform
- You have a dedicated identity or security team
- Your governance requirements span many applications across different vendors
- You have budget and timeline for an enterprise deployment
Choose Adcyma if:
- You have 50-1,000 employees
- Microsoft Entra ID and/or Active Directory is your primary identity platform
- Your IT team is small and can't absorb a months-long implementation
- You need governance for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIS2 compliance
- You want to be operational this week, not next quarter
- Your budget is realistic for a mid-market company
Questions we hear from companies evaluating both
Maybe. If you grow to 2,000+ employees with a genuinely multi-cloud identity landscape, you might eventually need an enterprise platform. But that's a future problem. Solving it today with today's budget and team size means paying enterprise prices for mid-market needs. Use the right tool for where you are now.
Both platforms take security seriously. Adcyma connects to your Entra ID tenant using delegated permissions - we don't store credentials or replicate your directory. The security model is different, not weaker.
Adcyma is focused on the Microsoft ecosystem - both Entra ID and Active Directory. If you need governance across dozens of non-Microsoft enterprise applications, that's where a platform like Saviynt has an advantage. If 80%+ of your identity management lives in Entra ID and AD, Adcyma covers your actual needs.
You'd need to ask Saviynt directly. Our observation from talking to companies who've evaluated them is that the pricing and implementation requirements reflect enterprise scale regardless of the package name.
