We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring. If there is any abnormal behavior on the machine, the administrator will be alerted.""Roaming feature, application control and firewall features.""I haven't heard of any issues with stability."

More Aruba IntroSpect Pros →

"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.""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.""Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format.""I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor.""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.""We use the solution’s Approval Anywhere feature which enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time-consuming approval processes. By using this platform, if someone goes on a vacation, out of office, or needs urgent/planned leave, then our setup will select the functions tied to that person and automatically delegate them to the next person. That person can start performing that duty based on their access. No sharing of passwords is required.""It offers high availability and enables end users to deploy the solution with 99.999 percent uptime, which is crucial in an enterprise environment with a large number of endpoints."

Cons
"The packet analyzer needs improvement.""I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard, where you can get the information with a simple click.""Technical support is a little slow."

More Aruba IntroSpect Cons →

"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.""Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich. We spoke to our Safeguard reps who have acknowledged that some of the reporting features can certainly be improved and that we're not the only customer who has cited this. There are very little out-of-the-box reporting capabilities. You have to build the queries and the report. I believe in the next release they're going to be addressing this.""From a usability perspective, what we are finding out is that our privileged domain admin users, in particular, want functionality for extending a checkout session. So we are working with One Identity support to see if there's an enhancement that can be made to the product.""I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated.""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.""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.""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.""The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The license is based on the number of users. The evaluation license is free, you can download it from the website and try it out first."
  • More Aruba IntroSpect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
  • "Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
  • "It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
  • "They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
  • "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 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 is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
  • "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."

    Overview

    Aruba IntroSpect is a User Behavior Analytics (UEBA) tool that uses supervised and unsupervised machine learning to automatically baseline user and device behavior while actively looking for anomalous activity that may indicate a threat. The solution detects compromised users’ systems by identifying changes in typical IT access and usage. By accelerating alert prioritization, incident investigation, and threat-hunting efforts, Aruba IntroSpect can automate the detection of attacks and risky behaviors. In addition, the solution allows security teams to stay ahead of malicious activity and also insecure or negligent users, so they can manage threats before they become damaging. Aruba IntroSpect is suitable for IT organizations of every size and enables businesses to easily and rapidly scale machine-learned behavior detection from small projects to full enterprise deployments.

    Aruba IntroSpect Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing Aruba IntroSpect. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Fast deployment: Besides having different options for deployment (on-prem or cloud), the solution offers a standalone or integrated platform. For fast deployment, users can ingest data natively or from SIEM, log management, or a packet broker.
    • Efficient: The Aruba IntroSpect solution reduces the time and effort that is required to understand, diagnose, and respond to an attack.
    • Deep insights: Security teams can triage better, make more informed decisions, and respond before damage occurs.
    • Machine learning-based analytics: The solution builds baselines for normal behavior of both individual entities and groups by continuously monitoring IT activities.
    • Comprehensive security profile: When users implement Aruba IntroSpect, they gain access to a security profile with continuous risk scoring and enriched security information.
    • Automatic risk profiles: Aruba IntroSpect automatically creates a risk profile for every user, system, and IoT device connected to the network, saving users an additional step.
    • Proactive threat hunting: Through its query interface, Aruba IntroSpect proactively spots threats without the overhead of finding, searching, and summarizing isolated data stores.
    • Prioritize security risks: Risk scores are based on machine learning that can account for key factors like the order and time of incidents across various attack stages as well as time since detection and business context. Accurate, normalized scores mean security analysts can confidently prioritize their efforts.
    • Instant visibility: When using the solution, users get instant visibility to high-risk activity. Aruba IntroSpect provides access to complete investigative records.

    One Identity Safeguard is an integrated system that combines a secure, toughened password safe and a session management and monitoring solution with threat detection and analytics into one integrated solution. It stores, manages, records, and analyzes privileged access in a secure manner.

    One Identity Safeguard Features

    One Identity Safeguard has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Policy-based release control: Seek access and approve privileged passwords and sessions using a secure online browser that supports mobile devices. Depending on your organization's policies, requests can be authorized immediately or require dual/multiple approvals. You can set One Identity Safeguard to match your personalized needs, whether your policies consider the requestor's identity and level of access, the time and day of the request attempt, and/or the specific resource requested. You can also enter reason codes and/or connect to ticketing systems.

    • Vault for personal passwords: In a free personal password vault, every one of your employees can keep and generate random passwords for non-federated business accounts. This allows your company to use a sanctioned tool to securely share and retrieve passwords, giving you much-needed security and visibility into your company's accounts.

    • Auditing, recording, and replaying entire sessions: All session activity is collected, indexed, and kept in tamper-proof audit trails that can be viewed like a video and searched like a database, down to the keystrokes, mouse movements, and windows viewed. Security teams can search across sessions for certain events and play the recording from the exact point where the search criterion happened. For forensics and compliance purposes, audit trails are encrypted, time-stamped, and cryptographically signed.

    • Approval in any location: Approve or refuse requests from anywhere, using One Identity Starling Two-Factor Authentication, without having to connect to a VPN.
    • Instantly on: Safeguard for Privileged Sessions can be implemented in a transparent manner, with no changes to user workflows required. Safeguard, when acting as a proxy gateway, can act as a network router, unseen to both the user and the server. Admins can continue to use their normal client programs and access target servers and systems without disrupting their everyday routine.

    • Biometrics of user behavior: Even when performing identical operations like typing or moving a mouse, each person has his or her own unique pattern of behavior. These behavioral characteristics are examined by the Safeguard algorithms. Keystroke dynamics and mouse movement analysis aid in the detection of security breaches while also acting as a continuous biometric authentication system.

    • Favorites: Right from the login screen, quickly access the passwords you use the most. You can combine many password requests into a single favorite, allowing you to log into all of your accounts with a single click.

    • Discovery options: With host, directory, and network-discovery options, you can quickly find privileged accounts or systems on your network.

    Reviews from Real Users

    One Identity Safeguard stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its stability and its connection control. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:
