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

"Two-factor authentication has saved us from a couple of brute force attacks on a couple of our C-level executives."
"This solution gives them real confidence that they can keep their customers safe and their data protected."
"It provides secure and centralized access to both on-prem and cloud servers, which we did not have before. Previously, there were myriad ways to access our servers, so this centralizing feature is beneficial."
"There is ease of implementation."
"We have saved approximately thirty to forty percent of our time, and our team is spending more time on critical issues rather than managing passwords."
"The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated."
"The most interesting thing about this product is it is very easy to implement and configure as well as its usability."
"The technical support is tremendous."
"The most valuable features of Securonix UEBA include insider threat monitoring, which provides complete visibility of user activities, and next-gen AI-based behavior analytics."
"We have successfully overcome the challenges and proved they're the best."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"The feature dashboard is very well organized and intuitive to use. It organizes information on a timeline which is exactly what we need for insider threat future-analysis."
"ROI is evident. The ROI is there from cost optimization and everything else."
"One of the most valuable features is UEBA. It's pretty helpful for us to make sure of our thresholds for any of our clients."
 

Cons

"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"Many team members feel that the biggest friction with One Identity Safeguard relates to access requests, session approvals, and policy changes, which require more clicks than expected."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."
"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."
"One key area is performance and resource usage, especially when advanced features like session recording or OCR are enabled."
"Documentation can be much better and they should provide typical use cases to get started more easily."
"Support can be improved in terms of response times and consistency. Sometimes resolving complex issues takes longer than expected and requires multiple follow-ups."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"There is room for improvement in the algorithms. Although I said that we have a very solid starting point - our existing library is already very comprehensive - we constantly find areas where we need to develop new algorithms. That is common across platforms. Any vendor with a solid starting point would still need to continue to evolve."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"The support system is not very good as of now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"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."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
"The cost is approximately $50 per user per year."
