There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"Right now we are encouraging our customers to use Fudo PAM because it is the only product in PAM technology that we have to offer them."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"This solution gives them real confidence that they can keep their customers safe and their data protected."
"I like Safeguard's snapshot feature that enables us to review the last time an application was opened and by whom. If there are any issues, we can look behind the scenes to see what has been done. We can suspend a user's access or close off a server."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted my organization by helping to increase security because of password vaulting."
"Flexible modes are easily integrated into the customer infrastructure."
"The system is easy to manage, as it is not a system that you will change everything all of a sudden. It evolves most of the time with customer requests."
"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, and the rollout for our users is seamless."
"Now, once they are logged into the organization and are registered on our ERP system, their complete access will be ready within five seconds, and they will receive an SMS with their username and password so they can start working, which has increased efficiency and effectiveness of the access control function and reduced operational costs while providing services 24/7 on a platform that can be used anytime and anywhere for investigation."
 

Cons

"The configuration is difficult."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The stability is not very good."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools."
"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."
"If I had to point out something that could be improved or is sometimes seen as missing, it would be user experience or UI."
"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"The user interface can be improved for better searching of user accounts, and if One Identity enhances its support in that area, it would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"Its subscription cost is too much, and sometimes, it is very difficult to pitch the solution to the management for cost approval. If the cost is reduced a little bit, it would be easier. If its cost was less, many other organizations that currently cannot afford it would be able to use this technology. I'm sure many organizations around the globe are having issues with identity management, and it is a very difficult task for IT to manage privileged accounts."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"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."
