Helps to manage human, digital and machine identities
We use the solution to manage identities that include human identities, machine identities, digital identities, and API integrations.  The tool's architecture is thin and scalable. We also like the product's ease of deployment. My company is also impressed with the solution's number of connectors.…

Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool's architecture is thin and scalable. We also like the product's ease of deployment. My company is also impressed with the solution's number of connectors."
"There is ease of implementation. Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view."
"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"We use the solution’s “transparent mode” feature for privileged sessions. It is very easy because it is only a simple configuration for our users. We don't have to modify our network. We install it, configure it, and it works. So, it is super easy. The rollout for our users is seamless."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"I like Safeguard's snapshot feature that enables us to review the last time an application was opened and by whom. If there are any issues, we can look behind the scenes to see what has been done. We can suspend a user's access or close off a server."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"I like the discovery functionality and the change password feature through the check-in. I also like the bulk import with the help of templates that come with it out of the box. With the help of these few features, my tasks are made easier."

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."
"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."
"From a management point of view, it would be beneficial if One Identity Safeguard Privilege Password and One Identity Safeguard Privilege Session had a more similar interface."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"We should be able to create customized connectors in a better way. For ad hoc or special use cases, I sometimes find we have limitations. Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. We are using the yearly license."
"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."
"We have a yearly license. The cost depends on how much a company wants to invest in technology. In our organization, we believe in modern digitization and automation processes so we found it affordable. One Identity was not that much less than other solutions and it is not a cheap solution. There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
