Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
2.1
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro improved security, productivity, and cost-efficiency by automating password tasks and centralizing access management.
Sentiment score
7.0
One Identity Safeguard enhances security and compliance, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance, reducing risks, and improving operational efficiency with substantial ROI.
Any PAM solution, when I deploy it well and customers use it, leads to a return on investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro's support is responsive with knowledgeable staff, but PAM cases may experience delays.
Sentiment score
6.5
One Identity Safeguard’s customer service is praised for responsiveness and efficiency, but standard support faces mixed reviews.
The support for PAM is not very prompt as it requires logging a case first and responses can take a day or two.
It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access.
When I have day-to-day incidents and problems, the response is good enough in terms of time and quality.
Sometimes, I get a very helpful response and they address issues on a call.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
Users report varied experiences with ManageEngine Password Manager Pro's scalability, noting both challenges and effective use in expanding data centers.
Sentiment score
7.1
One Identity Safeguard is praised for scalability and ease of resource deployment but may affect performance and high availability.
The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten.
We have a cluster of SPPs and a cluster of SPSs, and we can add a node to that cluster without much fuss.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.9
Users find ManageEngine Password Manager Pro stable, reliable, easy to recover, and praise its performance and dependability.
Sentiment score
7.5
One Identity Safeguard is highly stable and reliable, with minor issues promptly addressed through regular updates.
It is difficult for things to go wrong.
In terms of stability, I rate One Identity Safeguard nine to ten out of ten.
We have not had any issues with the core product itself, but there is an add-on called SCALUS, which is quite critical to the user experience, and that does not work.
 

Room For Improvement

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro needs user interface improvements and affordable pricing, catering mainly to tech-savvy users with limited support.
One Identity Safeguard needs improvements in integration, management, documentation, interface, support, monitoring, threat detection, and pricing.
Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days.
For some configurations on the SPS side, if I need to make changes, such as for DNS servers, I must redeploy the machine.
Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful.
The native integration between SPP and SPS, which is currently based on a plugin, could be enhanced.
 

Setup Cost

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cost-effective for enterprises, with a 25,000 rands fee, compared favorably to competitors.
One Identity Safeguard is costly but valued for flexibility and robust security, with straightforward licensing and worthwhile investment.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before.
It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
It is cheaper than CyberArk.
The pricing of One Identity Safeguard is fairly priced and cheaper than other solutions of the same enterprise level.
 

Valuable Features

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro provides secure, user-friendly password management with strong features, direct machine login, and auditing capabilities.
One Identity Safeguard enhances security with seamless user experience, extensive features, centralized access, and robust monitoring for on-prem and cloud management.
The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable.
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
I like the features that allow you to rotate your password, give you access to an RDP session without knowing your password, and record sessions.
The interface is robust and secure, and with recent releases, it has become more stable.

Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. 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.
