Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

Privileged access has become centralized and streamlines multi-client audits and compliance
The best features we can highlight are privileged password vaulting and automatic password rotation, just-in-time privileged access, and session monitoring and recording. These features together stand out because they significantly reduce credential exposure, enforce least privilege access, and provide full auditing visibility across multiple client environments, as we are a service delivery and IT service delivery company with multiple customer environments and access. We rely most on just-in-time privileged access with credential vaulting. It is easy for the team to use day-to-day because access requests and approvals are streamlined and automated. Credentials are never exposed and sessions are automatically logged. After initial setup, adoption was smooth and it fit well into our existing operational workflows without adding stress to our operational team to adapt to the new technology. One Identity Safeguard has strengthened privileged access security across our multiple client environments. We have seen a reduction in shared credentials and unauthorized access. We have also seen faster approval for admin tasks and improved audit readiness. It has streamlined compliance reporting and reduced the operational risk of managing multiple client environments manually. Implementing this solution, we have reduced privileged account-related incidents by thirty percent. We have also cut manual password management time by nearly fifty to sixty percent. Just-in-time access has sped up admin task completion and improved our overall compliance reporting, allowing audits to be completed nearly half the time compared to earlier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with."
"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."
"There is ease of implementation."
"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."
"The implementation time was quick. It was basically up and running within a week."
"The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated."
 

Cons

"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"The interactive dashboard is complicated and you need to have training in order to use it, so I think that it could be made easier to use."
"Even though we have two nodes, there's no way to do an upgrade without taking everything completely offline. It would be nice if they could improve that."
"The interface is better now, but it still could be improved a lot. It needs more organization, menus, automatic refresh of information, and Web 2.0."
"It needs more marketing."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
"Support for One Identity Safeguard could be improved because sometimes the support team doesn't have an answer or solution for some bugs. A feature I found in a competitor would make One Identity Safeguard better, and that is the ability to load balance the traffic in the target."
"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."
"The deployment of One Identity Safeguard took about a few weeks, and I can say it was a painful process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"This solution is expensive."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"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."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"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."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"Its subscription cost is too much, and sometimes, it is very difficult to pitch the solution to the management for cost approval. If the cost is reduced a little bit, it would be easier. If its cost was less, many other organizations that currently cannot afford it would be able to use this technology. I'm sure many organizations around the globe are having issues with identity management, and it is a very difficult task for IT to manage privileged accounts."
