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."
"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."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"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."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Using this solution has been a great decision in helping with our tasks."
"The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated."
"Safeguard is a next-generation tool when it comes to privileged access management."
"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."
"There is ease of implementation."
"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."
 

Cons

"The stability is not very good."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"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."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"Now, I think the best way to improve it will be to optimize the software, because the software begins to consume more resources (physical)."
"I rated One Identity Safeguard nine out of 10 because the stability and control could be better, as there are some problems with stability and errors when we use it."
"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."
"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it."
"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."
"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."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
