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

"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard has improved security a lot by controlling privileged access, and it also reduced risks since all sensitive activities are monitored and logged."
"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center, and it is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."
"The first feature I like about One Identity Safeguard is the live contact point for the VPNs. This has been working very well for us, as it's both highly available and reliable."
"The integration of One Identity Safeguard has had a clear positive impact on both security and operational efficiency, with earlier estimates showing thirty to forty percent fewer password-related tickets and fifty percent faster audit preparation, along with reducing risk and eliminating shared credentials."
"One Identity Safeguard has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security, efficiency, and visibility."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by providing strong security, compliance, and the data required for audits, making it really helpful."
"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."
 

Cons

"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"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."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval."
"Documentation can be much better and they should provide typical use cases to get started more easily."
"One key area is performance and resource usage, especially when advanced features like session recording or OCR are enabled."
"Now, I think the best way to improve it will be to optimize the software, because the software begins to consume more resources (physical)."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"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."
"The interface is better now, but it still could be improved a lot. It needs more organization, menus, automatic refresh of information, and Web 2.0."
 

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."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"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."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
