Centralized privileged access has improved control and now supports secure vendor billing oversight
The transparent mode is a seamless approach when using it. We have some issues with it, but we are working on it to make it work for us. Managing remote access for privileged users with the secure remote access feature is both easy and hard depending on the scenario we face. We have some systems that are easy and take not even a minute to set up, while others take a bit longer. We are in the middle of integrating One Identity Safeguard with the IGA solution, Identity Manager. We have some A2A setups, but it is not optimal. We are using RPA for developers, not actually RPA accounts, but that is something we are working on. We are also using the service account password rotation on the asset to some degree, and we are exploring options there. For integrating One Identity Safeguard, figuring out how password rotation works is a bit difficult because we have to make custom integrations. After that, it was no problem really. For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools. It is mostly for certain features in One Identity Safeguard that I would like some improvements. Some of the things you can do in entitlements, there is a lot you can do there, but not everything is optimal. You have to have duplicates of a lot of things to make it work the way you want.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The implementation time was quick. It was basically up and running within a week."
"I primarily use One Identity Safeguard for protecting security across all user accounts, enterprise data accounts, assets, as well as privileged access, domain user, and admin accounts, giving SSO features and providing security across all user accounts."
"One Identity Safeguard has made a noticeable positive impact on our organization by giving us much better control and visibility over privileged access."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"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."
"We use the Approval Anywhere, or cloud assistant feature and it is great. It enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time to the approval process."
"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."
"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."
"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 most valuable features of Securonix UEBA include insider threat monitoring, which provides complete visibility of user activities, and next-gen AI-based behavior analytics."
"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."
"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."
"ROI is evident. The ROI is there from cost optimization and everything else."
"We have successfully overcome the challenges and proved they're the best."
 

Cons

"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich."
"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it. On paper when we were initially talking about it, it was definitely going to be the preferred method until we realized the burden it would be on our network guys. Then, we had to step back and reevaluate what we wanted to do. That's when we changed our approach to use the RD Gateway feature."
"The customer support for One Identity Safeguard was not very good and definitely needs to be improved."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"The support system is not very good as of now."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"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."
"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."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"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."
