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

"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"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."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"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."
"Customer Service: absolutely perfect Technical Support: Technical support is 10/10, absolutely."
"My advice to others is One Identity Safeguard is a must to have because it's part of the cybersecurity framework, such as Nest ISO."
"The implementation of One Identity Safeguard has had a noticeably positive impact on our security posture and daily IT operations, helping us tighten security and gain operational visibility."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"Two-factor authentication has saved us from a couple of brute force attacks on a couple of our C-level executives."
"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."
"The whole product solves the privileged access management challenge for our company. We have a secure tunnel, a secure session manager, and automatic logging of sessions, which is good for forensic purposes. We have a rich level of logs and can trace what happened on which machine and see who did what."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
 

Cons

"The configuration is difficult."
"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 stability is not very good."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"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 high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"More refined reporting logs on dashboards are needed; currently, they are not very refined, they are very scattered, and it is not very intuitive."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"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."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
