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.

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

"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."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"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."
"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 are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."
"This is an extremely stable product."
"Technical support is brilliant."
"Safeguard is a next-generation tool when it comes to privileged access management."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."
"I primarily use One Identity Safeguard for protecting security across all user accounts, enterprise data accounts, assets, as well as privileged access, domain user, and admin accounts, giving SSO features and providing security across all user accounts."
"The initial setup of One Identity Safeguard was simple."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The stability is not very good."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."
"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."
"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."
"I have encountered scalability issues. The system needs to be properly analysed before putting it into production."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module."
"Now, I think the best way to improve it will be to optimize the software, because the software begins to consume more resources (physical)."
"Support for One Identity Safeguard could be improved because sometimes the support team doesn't have an answer or solution for some bugs. A feature I found in a competitor would make One Identity Safeguard better, and that is the ability to load balance the traffic in the target."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"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."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"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."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
