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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"One of the most important aspects is that it is very easy to use and install. It is also agentless, so all of the operations happen more smoothly than any other product."
"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."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"There is ease of implementation."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"One Identity Safeguard positively impacts our organization by reducing the likelihood of breaches from privileged sprawl by removing shared admin passwords and enforcing control checkouts while also improving our investigation times and providing strong forensics from a centralized location."
"Two-factor authentication has saved us from a couple of brute force attacks on a couple of our C-level executives."
"My advice for others looking into using One Identity Safeguard is that it is a great solution for simple tasks, with a good price and good functionality."
 

Cons

"The stability is not very good."
"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."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."
"We currently have a problem with the Active Directory integrations on Windows. Some of our users need to be logged with Active Directory, but we are having communication issues between One Identity and Active Directory. It seems that Active Directory is not well-integrated."
"They should provide a faster user interface, as we have noticed that the user interface acts slow when there are a large number of accounts or concurrent sessions going on."
"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."
"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it."
"We currently have a problem with the Active Directory integrations on Windows. Some of our users need to be logged with Active Directory, but we are having communication issues between One Identity and Active Directory."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture."
"For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"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 is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."
"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 cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."
