Proactive management empowers security measures with ease of onboarding
Entro Security could benefit from improvements in IAM control to allow segregation of duties among developers. Providing a more modular alerting system to have proactive measures without extensive communication with engineers would also be an improvement. While the basic alerts work, a more customizable alert system would be a plus.
Martin Ajayiobe - PeerSpot reviewer
Th password vault feature has proven to be most effective for managing privileged access
One Identity Safeguard now prevents unauthorized access to servers by eliminating privileged passwords and requiring all connections to go through a PAM-authorized process. This means no one, including hackers, can access servers without explicit approval, significantly enhancing overall security. One Identity Safeguard is easy to use with a good partner to support you, and it can be up and running within a few days. We have successfully integrated One Identity Safeguard with cloud targets, and the process was straightforward. One Identity Safeguard has improved our incident response time by 300 percent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The top features of Entro Security that stand out are its ease of onboarding and discovery."
"They are very helpful and responsive. They acknowledge issues, take feedback seriously, and implement features based on user requests."
"From my experience, the features are best for monitoring and the usage of LDAP and SSH."
"The first feature I like about One Identity Safeguard is the live contact point for the VPNs. This has been working very well for us, as it's both highly available and reliable."
"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."
"The technical support is tremendous."
"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."
"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 is the number one advantage of the product."
"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."
 

Cons

"The detection of generic content or custom data specific to our company needs improvement. It has trouble detecting unique patterns of secrets."
"Entro Security could benefit from improvements in IAM control to allow segregation of duties among developers."
"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."
"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."
"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."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"I just received a question from a customer in regards to a connection with Oracle OID. I tried to integrate Safeguard with the Oracle YAML as well as something else to manage the groups and users from a different system, like AD or LDAP. This one feature could be better. At this moment, the platform system can only use the integration with LDAP or AD. The software for research and development to create a connector to a YAML platform can be very complicated."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."
"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"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 full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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 was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
