Early threat detection and diverse OS support with enhanced security

Ekran System offers a lightweight solution that does not impact the systems where it is implemented. It provides rich metadata for monitored activities and includes threat analysis capabilities for early alerting and investigation of unauthorized actions. Additionally, it supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format.

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.

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

Pros

"It supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format."

"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."

"The implementation time was quick. It was basically up and running within a week."

"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."

"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."

"The most unique and valuable features are the upstream and downstream throughput capacities; the Safeguard platform provides agile integration. In actuality, all the features are valuable. They're good, user-friendly."

"There are a lot of features, so it's going to sound funny, but one of the most simplistic features, the Favorites feature, is the one we like the best. You do a full run-through of configuration to check out a server and then you can save that whole configuration as a favorite. So the next time you go in, you click on the favorite that you configured and it automatically takes you to the end so you can check the server out that much faster. It saves a lot of time..."

"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."

"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."

Cons

"Ekran System could improve in terms of communication to the market, particularly after their rebranding as Shiteka."

"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."

"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."

"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."

"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."

"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."

"We should be able to create customized connectors in a better way. For ad hoc or special use cases, I sometimes find we have limitations. Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"The license is around $3,000 per month."

"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
