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.

Centralized control has strengthened privileged security and simplified audit investigations
While One Identity Safeguard is a strong and reliable PAM solution, there are a few areas where it can be further improved to enhance user experience and scalability. Regarding the user interface and experience, the UI, while functional, can be a bit complex for new users. A more intuitive and modern dashboard with simplified navigation would improve adoption, especially for non-technical stakeholders. Regarding integration flexibility, although it supports major integrations, expanding out-of-the-box connectors for more cloud-native apps, DevOps tools, and SaaS platforms would be beneficial. Faster and simpler API-based integrations could reduce deployment efforts. Regarding scalability and performance in large enterprise environments, performance tuning and scaling can require additional efforts. Enhancing seamless scalability and high availability configuration would improve enterprise readiness.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"This is a very stable solution. It is the most stable ESM that I have worked with."
"We use this solution for monitoring our network."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"I like their filtering and their reporting tools, I like their integration with many other different tool sets, which is similar to other products as well, the solution is easy to implement, and I have found the product to be quite stable and scalable."
"The correlation engine is good."
"Our organization has improved because ArcSight allows multiple integrations with multiple systems which we did not do before using the product."
"I primarily use One Identity Safeguard for protecting security across all user accounts, enterprise data accounts, assets, as well as privileged access, domain user, and admin accounts, giving SSO features and providing security across all user accounts."
"Since implementing Safeguard by One Identity, we have improved the security of privileged accounts by eliminating the need to share passwords and enforcing controlled access."
"There is ease of implementation."
"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."
"Regarding the usability and functionality, the UI is quite intuitive and simple to handle for new users."
"Now, once they are logged into the organization and are registered on our ERP system, their complete access will be ready within five seconds, and they will receive an SMS with their username and password so they can start working, which has increased efficiency and effectiveness of the access control function and reduced operational costs while providing services 24/7 on a platform that can be used anytime and anywhere for investigation."
"The technical support is tremendous."
"One of the biggest positive impacts of One Identity Safeguard on my organization is the improved control over privileged access; before implementing it, managing administrative credentials and tracking privileged activity required more manual effort, and after implementation, access became more structured and we had better visibility into who was accessing critical systems and when, which helped strengthen our security posture and made audit-related activities easier to manage."
 

Cons

"Their support team could be better. They've gone downhill since their product has been acquired."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"The GUI and dashboards are very basic and need to be improved."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"I think Safeguard by One Identity could be improved by making the user interface a little simpler and more intuitive, especially for new administrators."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"Unfortunately, my experience with Safeguard by One Identity's customer support is not very positive. They tend to respond slowly, generally do not find solutions effectively, and it is challenging to request calls that could resolve issues more quickly."
"The SPS could be a lot easier to administrate and the parts should be unified, from a design perspective, so that I can recognize the systems as being part of the same package. They feel like they have been forced together."
"For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools."
"We have not had any issues with the core product itself, but there is an add-on called SCALUS, which is quite critical to the user experience, and that does not work. They have been having issues with that for quite a long time, like months. That is not great at all."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"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."
"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."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"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."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
