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

"One Identity Safeguard has improved security a lot by controlling privileged access, and it also reduced risks since all sensitive activities are monitored and logged."
"I achieved a good ROI with One Identity Safeguard through approximately thirty to forty percent reduction in manual user management effort, fewer password and local account issues, faster access management, and improved audit and compliance efficiency, which saved administrative time and improved security operations."
"Integration of One Identity Safeguard has positively affected our operations by centralizing authentication across Linux and Unix, reducing manual account management, and simplifying user access control through Active Directory integration."
"There are a lot of features, so it's going to sound funny, but one of the most simplistic features, the Favorites feature, is the one we like the best. You do a full run-through of configuration to check out a server and then you can save that whole configuration as a favorite. So the next time you go in, you click on the favorite that you configured and it automatically takes you to the end so you can check the server out that much faster. It saves a lot of time..."
"We have limited the possibilities for malicious actions and have made it safer for our users when they are using privileged accounts."
"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by contributing to a significant drop in compliance and audit overhead, aiding in the preparation of security audits that were previously chaotic, making the process much simpler now, and improving operational efficiency and admin satisfaction."
"It is the life of our customers because it brings a lot of security."
"We have successfully overcome the challenges and proved they're the best."
"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."
"ROI is evident. The ROI is there from cost optimization and everything else."
"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."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"One Identity Safeguard is a strong PAM solution, but there are some areas for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module."
"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."
"The only part of the Safeguard solution that I think could be a problem over time is the amount of storage it takes in the sessions."
"The reason it is not a perfect ten is mainly because of usability and operational friction in some scenarios."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"The interface is better now, but it still could be improved a lot. It needs more organization, menus, automatic refresh of information, and Web 2.0."
"The customer support for One Identity Safeguard was not very good and definitely needs to be improved."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"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 support system is not very good as of now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
"The cost is approximately $50 per user per year."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
