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.

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

Pros

"Safeguard by One Identity offers simple web GUI, easy onboarding and management, and less complex architecture as its best features."
"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."
"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."
"Now, once they are logged into the organization and are registered on our ERP system, their complete access will be ready within five seconds, and they will receive an SMS with their username and password so they can start working, which has increased efficiency and effectiveness of the access control function and reduced operational costs while providing services 24/7 on a platform that can be used anytime and anywhere for investigation."
"We went from our teams complaining about the old product every day to not hearing one complaint at all and, as a matter of fact, I hear compliments about how much they love Safeguard."
"We use the solution’s Approval Anywhere feature which enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time-consuming approval processes. By using this platform, if someone goes on a vacation, out of office, or needs urgent/planned leave, then our setup will select the functions tied to that person and automatically delegate them to the next person. That person can start performing that duty based on their access. No sharing of passwords is required."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"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."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"ROI is evident. The ROI is there from cost optimization and everything else."
"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."
"We have successfully overcome the challenges and proved they're the best."
"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."
 

Cons

"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"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."
"If I had to point out something that could be improved or is sometimes seen as missing, it would be user experience or UI."
"The high availability function of the box itself requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another, so there is room for improvement."
"The integration part seems a bit challenging because some tools cannot be integrated properly with it."
"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."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"The support system is not very good as of now."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"The cost is approximately $50 per user per year."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
