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
7.0
One Identity Safeguard enhances security and compliance, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance, reducing risks, and improving operational efficiency with substantial ROI.
Sentiment score
8.9
ArcSight Intelligence boosts security and ROI by automating threat detection, reducing false positives, and streamlining workflows with advanced analytics.
Any PAM solution, when I deploy it well and customers use it, leads to a return on investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.5
One Identity Safeguard’s customer service is praised for responsiveness and efficiency, but standard support faces mixed reviews.
Sentiment score
6.7
OpenText Behavioral Signals' support is responsive and skilled, but resolution may be slow and feedback sometimes lacks depth.
When I have day-to-day incidents and problems, the response is good enough in terms of time and quality.
I sometimes need escalations to reach expertise.
Sometimes, I get a very helpful response and they address issues on a call.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
One Identity Safeguard is praised for scalability and ease of resource deployment but may affect performance and high availability.
Sentiment score
6.3
OpenText Behavioral Signals faces scalability challenges, while technologies like ArcSight Intelligence excel, prompting consideration of alternatives like Splunk.
The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.
We have a cluster of SPPs and a cluster of SPSs, and we can add a node to that cluster without much fuss.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
One Identity Safeguard is highly stable and reliable, with minor issues promptly addressed through regular updates.
Sentiment score
8.4
OpenText Behavioral Signals is praised for its stability, receiving high ratings and fostering user trust through reliable performance.
It is difficult for things to go wrong.
In terms of stability, I rate One Identity Safeguard nine to ten out of ten.
I encounter problems primarily with the failover procedure.
 

Room For Improvement

One Identity Safeguard needs improvements in integration, management, documentation, interface, support, monitoring, threat detection, and pricing.
OpenText and ArcSight require updates for usability, scalability, and pricing to compete with QRadar and Splunk effectively.
Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful.
If Privilege Session pushed more data to Safeguard Privilege Password, an admin would only need to log in to one place.
Another area for improvement could be the threat detection capabilities, like those seen in other PAM vendors.
 

Setup Cost

One Identity Safeguard is costly but valued for flexibility and robust security, with straightforward licensing and worthwhile investment.
OpenText Behavioral Signals offers enterprise-priced licensing options with additional charges for new features not in the base license.
It is cheaper than CyberArk.
It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
The pricing of One Identity Safeguard is fairly priced and cheaper than other solutions of the same enterprise level.
 

Valuable Features

One Identity Safeguard enhances security with seamless user experience, extensive features, centralized access, and robust monitoring for on-prem and cloud management.
OpenText Behavioral Signals synthesizes diverse logs, customizes environments, and enhances efficiency with a user-friendly, consolidated interface.
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
I can share credentials, save files within One Identity Safeguard, and ensure that certificates and license numbers are securely stored.
I think One Identity should improve its documentation because it is vast and not clear, and clear documentation on implementing the solution would be advantageous for consultants.

Featured Reviews

Martin Ajayiobe - PeerSpot reviewer
Th password vault feature has proven to be most effective for managing privileged access
One Identity Safeguard now prevents unauthorized access to servers by eliminating privileged passwords and requiring all connections to go through a PAM-authorized process. This means no one, including hackers, can access servers without explicit approval, significantly enhancing overall security. One Identity Safeguard is easy to use with a good partner to support you, and it can be up and running within a few days. We have successfully integrated One Identity Safeguard with cloud targets, and the process was straightforward. One Identity Safeguard has improved our incident response time by 300 percent.
Nagendra Nekkala - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly solution that can be used to integrate the logs properly with different connectors
ArcSight Intelligence is easy to maintain; one person is enough for the solution's maintenance. The maintenance person will add new features or devices, make policy changes or configurations, and learn and guide other engineers about new threats. ArcSight Intelligence is a user-friendly solution, and users should buy it if their company can afford its cost. Overall, I rate ArcSight Intelligence a nine out of ten.

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
