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.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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."
"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."
"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."
"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."
"It provides secure and centralized access to both on-prem and cloud servers, which we did not have before. Previously, there were myriad ways to access our servers, so this centralizing feature is beneficial."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"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."
"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."
"The technical support is tremendous."
 

Cons

"Ekran System could improve in terms of communication to the market, particularly after their rebranding as Shiteka."
"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it. On paper when we were initially talking about it, it was definitely going to be the preferred method until we realized the burden it would be on our network guys. Then, we had to step back and reevaluate what we wanted to do. That's when we changed our approach to use the RD Gateway feature."
"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."
"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."
"From a management point of view, it would be beneficial if One Identity Safeguard Privilege Password and One Identity Safeguard Privilege Session had a more similar interface."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
