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.

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.

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."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center, and it is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."
"We have limited the possibilities for malicious actions and have made it safer for our users when they are using privileged accounts."
"Safeguard is a next-generation tool when it comes to privileged access management."
"This solution gives them real confidence that they can keep their customers safe and their data protected."
"Once set up correctly, it provides strong security, better control over privileged access, and improves auditing and compliance significantly."
"One Identity Safeguard had a positive impact mainly in improving privilege access control, operational accountability, and audit readiness."
"With One Identity Safeguard, we have seen clear, measurable improvements across security, operations, and compliance."
 

Cons

"Ekran System could improve in terms of communication to the market, particularly after their rebranding as Shiteka."
"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 chose a rating of seven because I believe the product still has improvements that need to be made in terms of supportability for new applications, such as SaaS solutions, and it does not have any native method of managing cloud-based applications, which I believe is an area to improve."
"I think the aspects that could be improved in One Identity Safeguard include the learning curve, since the installation is complex and expert guidance is required in the first steps."
"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"One key area is performance and resource usage, especially when advanced features like session recording or OCR are enabled."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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 depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"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."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
