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

"There is ease of implementation."
"I have seen a clear return on investment with One Identity Safeguard, reducing manual effort for access management by around thirty to forty percent, decreasing audit preparation time by nearly fifty percent, and lowering the risks of costly incidents through improved security controls."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"We were able to take an environment where we had several hosts managed by different people and consolidate that into a single, centrally managed solution."
"One Identity Safeguard has made a noticeable positive impact on our organization by giving us much better control and visibility over privileged access."
"The best feature One Identity Safeguard offers is that it is a pretty new, modern tool that makes extensive use of its API."
"One Identity Safeguard is powerful because it provides beneficial features that support clean integration with different tools, significantly improving security and automation processes."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"ROI is evident. The ROI is there from cost optimization and everything else."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"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."
"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

"It is a good solution, but it needs more marketing."
"We currently have a problem with the Active Directory integrations on Windows. Some of our users need to be logged with Active Directory, but we are having communication issues between One Identity and Active Directory. It seems that Active Directory is not well-integrated."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"It takes some time to understand the features of One Identity Safeguard, and it would be more useful if it was easier to set up."
"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."
"Support can be improved in terms of response times and consistency. Sometimes resolving complex issues takes longer than expected and requires multiple follow-ups."
"One Identity Safeguard can be improved by fixing the documentation, which is very convoluted as of now, and addressing versioning, as some major bugs and issues are not documented well enough in the documentation, along with some patches and fixes."
"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."
"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 integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"The support system is not very good as of now."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"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."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
"The cost is approximately $50 per user per year."
"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
