Subhadip Pakrashi - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution that provides a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network
ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network. The solution's threat analysis gives a good view of the network. We can then compare those vulnerabilities and CVS scores worldwide and get a good understanding of how likely the network is to be hit. The kind of report ArcSight Analytics gives is really good. ArcSight Analytics is a very scalable solution that is easy to deploy.
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

"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"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."
"I have found One Identity Safeguard to be stable."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"The first feature I like about One Identity Safeguard is the live contact point for the VPNs. This has been working very well for us, as it's both highly available and reliable."
"The whole product solves the privileged access management challenge for our company. We have a secure tunnel, a secure session manager, and automatic logging of sessions, which is good for forensic purposes. We have a rich level of logs and can trace what happened on which machine and see who did what."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."
 

Cons

"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"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."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"I just received a question from a customer in regards to a connection with Oracle OID. I tried to integrate Safeguard with the Oracle YAML as well as something else to manage the groups and users from a different system, like AD or LDAP. This one feature could be better. At this moment, the platform system can only use the integration with LDAP or AD. The software for research and development to create a connector to a YAML platform can be very complicated."
"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"This solution is expensive."
"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."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."
"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."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
