Works with SCTP, STTPS, SQL, and MySQL protocols

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."

"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."

"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 have removed shared admin credentials, enforced just-in-time access management, simplified audits with session recording, and reduced manual access work, all thanks to One Identity Safeguard."

"I have found One Identity Safeguard to be stable."

"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 solution transparently integrates into the infrastructure and users do not notice it. I would give this feature the highest rating."

"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."

"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted my organization by improving our security posture, eliminating shared privileged credentials, increasing visibility into admin activity, and making compliance audits faster and more reliable."

"It provides secure and centralized access to both on-prem and cloud servers, which we did not have before. Previously, there were myriad ways to access our servers, so this centralizing feature is beneficial."

"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. The rollout for our users is seamless."

Cons

"Professional training and certification would be great."

"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."

"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."

"The stability is not very good."

"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it. On paper when we were initially talking about it, it was definitely going to be the preferred method until we realized the burden it would be on our network guys. Then, we had to step back and reevaluate what we wanted to do. That's when we changed our approach to use the RD Gateway feature."

"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."

"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."

"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."

"The SPS could be a lot easier to administrate and the parts should be unified, from a design perspective, so that I can recognize the systems as being part of the same package. They feel like they have been forced together."

"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."

"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."

"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."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."

"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"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."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

"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."
