Easy to install but needs to provide better server management and organization
I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server. Working with 100 or 200 server installations is comfortable, but not thousands. The scalability isn't very good because it's complicated. I would like more organization. For instance, they could add a table that matches an account to many servers at once. There could also be better education services. They don't have any certification program, at least in Ukraine, so the training is complicated and divided into different pieces. Cisco, for example, has a great education program that starts from the basics and progresses to advanced features.

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

"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"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."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."
"I have found One Identity Safeguard to be stable."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."
"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The stability is not very good."
"From a management point of view, it would be beneficial if One Identity Safeguard Privilege Password and One Identity Safeguard Privilege Session had a more similar interface."
"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"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."
"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
"The GUI has room for improvement because it is confusing and cumbersome."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"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 pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"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."
