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 privileged access has improved control and now supports secure vendor billing oversight
The transparent mode is a seamless approach when using it. We have some issues with it, but we are working on it to make it work for us. Managing remote access for privileged users with the secure remote access feature is both easy and hard depending on the scenario we face. We have some systems that are easy and take not even a minute to set up, while others take a bit longer. We are in the middle of integrating One Identity Safeguard with the IGA solution, Identity Manager. We have some A2A setups, but it is not optimal. We are using RPA for developers, not actually RPA accounts, but that is something we are working on. We are also using the service account password rotation on the asset to some degree, and we are exploring options there. For integrating One Identity Safeguard, figuring out how password rotation works is a bit difficult because we have to make custom integrations. After that, it was no problem really. For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools. It is mostly for certain features in One Identity Safeguard that I would like some improvements. Some of the things you can do in entitlements, there is a lot you can do there, but not everything is optimal. You have to have duplicates of a lot of things to make it work the way you want.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"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."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted us because the fear of theft of passwords or IDs has been reduced to almost zero, significantly enhancing our security."
"Now that we're able to audit log and record what is being done, we can play back all the sessions to make sure no type of unattended usage of the privilege or elevated credentials were being used, and from securing the bank standpoint, it has helped tremendously."
"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."
"It is the life of our customers because it brings a lot of security."
"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."
"One Identity Safeguard is stable and provides great performance."
"There is ease of implementation."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by providing strong security, compliance, and the data required for audits, making it really helpful."
 

Cons

"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The stability is not very good."
"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."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The SPS could be a lot easier to administrate and the parts should be unified, from a design perspective, so that I can recognize the systems as being part of the same package. They feel like they have been forced together."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"It takes some time to understand the features of One Identity Safeguard, and it would be more useful if it was easier to set up."
"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."
"I rated One Identity Safeguard nine out of 10 because the stability and control could be better, as there are some problems with stability and errors when we use it."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"We have a yearly license. The cost depends on how much a company wants to invest in technology. In our organization, we believe in modern digitization and automation processes so we found it affordable. One Identity was not that much less than other solutions and it is not a cheap solution. There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."
"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."
