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."
"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."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"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."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."
"We use the solution’s “transparent mode” feature for privileged sessions; it is very easy because it is only a simple configuration for our users, we don't have to modify our network, we install it, configure it, and it works, so it is super easy, and the rollout for our users is seamless."
"Technical support is brilliant."
"Using this solution has been a great decision in helping with our tasks."
"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."
"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."
"But otherwise, I think it is a good product and a good buy."
"Overall, my experience with One Identity Safeguard has been very positive, as it is a reliable and secure privilege access management solution that effectively protects sensitive accounts and provides full visibility into administrator activity, with minor improvements needed in terms of UI and reporting enhancements."
 

Cons

"Professional training and certification would be great."
"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."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The stability is not very good."
"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"The only part of the Safeguard solution that I think could be a problem over time is the amount of storage it takes in the sessions."
"We have issues using Safeguard to connect to and record from the cloud. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."
"We should be able to create customized connectors in a better way. For ad hoc or special use cases, I sometimes find we have limitations. Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"I find it challenging mostly when managing complex work, especially when trying to implement it on a larger scale; sometimes it becomes slow, and the automation process also slows down."
 

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."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"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."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
