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.

Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement

I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."

"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."

"The technical support is tremendous."

"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."

"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."

"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."

"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."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."

"I like the tool's user analysis feature."

"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."

"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."

"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."

"It is a very stable solution."

"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."

"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."

"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."

"Our experience with technical support has been disappointing. We require more prompt and faster response times. We require answers to our questions right away but we haven't received that level of support."

"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich. We spoke to our Safeguard reps who have acknowledged that some of the reporting features can certainly be improved and that we're not the only customer who has cited this. There are very little out-of-the-box reporting capabilities. You have to build the queries and the report. I believe in the next release they're going to be addressing this."

"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."

"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."

"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."

"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."

"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."

"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."

"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."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"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."

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."

"I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability."
