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

"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."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"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."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"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."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security, efficiency, and visibility."
"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."
"The integration of One Identity Safeguard has had a clear positive impact on both security and operational efficiency, with earlier estimates showing thirty to forty percent fewer password-related tickets and fifty percent faster audit preparation, along with reducing risk and eliminating shared credentials."
"By comparison, Safeguard is much better in terms of performance, networking, and server stability."
"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."
"The implementation time was quick. It was basically up and running within a week."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
 

Cons

"Professional training and certification would be great."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The stability is not very good."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The configuration is difficult."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"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 an adjustment with more enterprise architecture."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"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."
"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."
"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."
"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
