Automated SaaS access governance has reduced OAuth risks and improves audit readiness
The best features are deep OAuth app visibility, real-time risk detection, automated remediation, risk scoring and prioritization, and SaaS-to-SaaS threat detection. The real-time risk detection and alerts have benefited us the most. Astrix continuously monitors connections and third-party apps, flagging high-risk applications automatically when risky permission, suspicious behavior, or unusual access patterns are detected. This helped us considerably. Since deploying Astrix, we've seen a 42% reduction in high-risk third-party OAuth apps, a 65% reduction in dormant SaaS integration, faster vendor offboarding from days to an hour, and improved audit readiness. The faster offboarding has been transformative. Before Astrix, offboarding was mostly manual and checklist-driven. When an employee or vendor left, we would disable their primary account, remove them from groups, manually review shared drives, and try to identify third-party apps they had authorized. After Astrix, it is centralized, automated, and immediate.

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.

Pros

"We went from having zero visibility to complete third-party integration visibility, which helps us considerably."
"Since deploying Astrix, we've seen a 42% reduction in high-risk third-party OAuth apps, a 65% reduction in dormant SaaS integration, faster vendor offboarding from days to an hour, and improved audit readiness."
"Astrix offers excellent observability features that track the user query, what the user sent, what prompt was sent to the LLM, what the LLM response sent, what retrieval documents were checked, and what tools were called, along with the final response."
"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 by One Identity has positively impacted my organization as it automated the solution, making the process smoother, cheaper, and reliable."
"Overall, my experience with One Identity Safeguard has been very positive, as it is a reliable and secure privilege access management solution that effectively protects sensitive accounts and provides full visibility into administrator activity, with minor improvements needed in terms of UI and reporting enhancements."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted my organization by tracking admin activities in real time, recording privileged sessions, improving the accountability of engineers and administrators, and detecting suspicious or unauthorized actions."
"The initial setup of One Identity Safeguard was simple."
"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by increasing visibility into privileged user activities, allowing us to track and audit all actions easily, which helps in compliance and security."
 

Cons

"Customer support could be improved so that faster support on services would attract more customers."
"Astrix could be improved with deeper coverage on on-premises and hybrid application environments."
"Astrix is good regarding its accuracy and reliability of output, but the initial setup feels somewhat complex."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"One key area is performance and resource usage, especially when advanced features like session recording or OCR are enabled."
"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."
"One area for improvement in One Identity Safeguard would be reporting and dashboard customization; while the platform provides useful information, having more flexible and easier-to-customize reports would help with administration and gaining insights more quickly."
"The customer support for One Identity Safeguard was not very good and definitely needs to be improved."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"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."
"The only part of the Safeguard solution that I think could be a problem over time is the amount of storage it takes in the sessions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"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."
"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."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"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."
