Responsive support, requires little maintenance, but configuration could be easier
Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager is cumbersome and it does not operate by itself and relies on other solutions. Overall the way you configure things is a bit awkward compared to other solutions, such as Cyberark and Thycotic. The interface could be more intuitive, some features I expected to be easily accessible I had to search around for them. There needs to be more centralization.

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

"If you using IGA or access controls solutions then this solution is a good addon. Once Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager is set up it does not require a lot of maintenance or attention."
"If you using IGA or access controls solutions then this solution is a good addon."
"I have found One Identity Safeguard to be stable."
"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."
"This solution gives them real confidence that they can keep their customers safe and their data protected."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."
"I give it an eight because of its robust security features, its splendid automated password management, and real-time activity monitoring that stood out to me."
"One Identity Safeguard is stable and provides great performance."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."

Cons

"Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager is cumbersome and it does not operate by itself and relies on other solutions. Overall the way you configure things is a bit awkward compared to other solutions, such as Cyberark and Thycotic. The interface could be more intuitive, some features I expected to be easily accessible I had to search around for them. There needs to be more centralization."
"Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager is cumbersome and it does not operate by itself and relies on other solutions."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"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."
"From a management point of view, it would be beneficial if One Identity Safeguard Privilege Password and One Identity Safeguard Privilege Session had a more similar interface."
"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich."
"The customer support for One Identity Safeguard was not very good and definitely needs to be improved."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"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."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"We have a yearly license. The cost depends on how much a company wants to invest in technology. In our organization, we believe in modern digitization and automation processes so we found it affordable. One Identity was not that much less than other solutions and it is not a cheap solution. There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
