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."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"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."
"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."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"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."
"This is an extremely stable product."
"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."
"It is the life of our customers because it brings a lot of security."
"One Identity Safeguard positively impacts our organization by reducing the likelihood of breaches from privileged sprawl by removing shared admin passwords and enforcing control checkouts while also improving our investigation times and providing strong forensics from a centralized location."
"With One Identity Safeguard, we have seen clear, measurable improvements across security, operations, and compliance."
"We use the solution’s Approval Anywhere feature which enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time-consuming approval processes. By using this platform, if someone goes on a vacation, out of office, or needs urgent/planned leave, then our setup will select the functions tied to that person and automatically delegate them to the next person. That person can start performing that duty based on their access. No sharing of passwords is required."
"I primarily use One Identity Safeguard for protecting security across all user accounts, enterprise data accounts, assets, as well as privileged access, domain user, and admin accounts, giving SSO features and providing security across all user accounts."
"Using this solution has been a great decision in helping with our tasks."
 

Cons

"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."
"The stability is not very good."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"They should provide a faster user interface, as we have noticed that the user interface acts slow when there are a large number of accounts or concurrent sessions going on."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"Our experience with technical support has been disappointing. We require more prompt and faster response times."
"The high availability function of the box itself requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another, so there is room for improvement."
"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with CyberArk, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers."
"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."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
