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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network."
"There are a lot of features, so it's going to sound funny, but one of the most simplistic features, the Favorites feature, is the one we like the best. You do a full run-through of configuration to check out a server and then you can save that whole configuration as a favorite. So the next time you go in, you click on the favorite that you configured and it automatically takes you to the end so you can check the server out that much faster. It saves a lot of time..."
"I have successfully connected Identity Manager (IGA) to Safeguard to achieve Privilege Access Governance, making it possible by using an OOTB connector in Identity Manager to talk to the Safeguard system so I can govern the data from Safeguard and provision PAM accounts from Identity Manager to achieve a complete lifecycle."
"It is generally easy-to-use and install."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by giving us complete visibility over all privileged access, making compliance audits much easier than before, and ensuring that access is not time-bound, allowing admins access only for the duration they need it."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by providing strong security, compliance, and the data required for audits, making it really helpful."
"This is an extremely stable product."
"The monitoring system is very good."
 

Cons

"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"The stability is not very good."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval."
"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."
"It needs more marketing."
"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. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."
"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."
"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."
"Now, I think the best way to improve it will be to optimize the software, because the software begins to consume more resources (physical)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"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 have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"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."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
