Good reporting and analysis that alerts with abnormal behavior, but the dashboard could be simplified
This solution is scalable and it's based on licenses. It can be scaled at any time. Initially, you are starting with 50 to 100 users. After testing, you advance to several users who can do the reporting and analysis. In our company, we have approximately 200 users. This solution is being used extensively, it's always running.

Manager, Account Services Delivery at Softcell Technologies Limited
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

"Roaming feature, application control and firewall features."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring. If there is any abnormal behavior on the machine, the administrator will be alerted."
"I haven't heard of any issues with stability."
"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."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"We have removed shared admin credentials, enforced just-in-time access management, simplified audits with session recording, and reduced manual access work, all thanks to One Identity Safeguard."
"The Transparent Mode is the number one advantage of the product."
"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."
"The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated."
"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."
"There is ease of implementation. Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view."
 

Cons

"Technical support is a little slow."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard, where you can get the information with a simple click."
"The packet analyzer needs improvement."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"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."
"The deployment of One Identity Safeguard took about a few weeks, and I can say it was a painful process."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"The areas for improvement in One Identity Safeguard would be the UI and UX, meaning the admin console can be more intuitive for complex policy and workflow configuration."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"It needs more marketing."
 

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."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"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 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."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"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."
"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."
