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 whole product solves the privileged access management challenge for our company. We have a secure tunnel, a secure session manager, and automatic logging of sessions, which is good for forensic purposes. We have a rich level of logs and can trace what happened on which machine and see who did what."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted my organization by improving our security posture, eliminating shared privileged credentials, increasing visibility into admin activity, and making compliance audits faster and more reliable."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"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."
"We have removed shared admin credentials, enforced just-in-time access management, simplified audits with session recording, and reduced manual access work, all thanks to One Identity Safeguard."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have issues using Safeguard to connect to and record from the cloud. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."
"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard could be improved by simplifying the user interface and initial configuration process, especially for first-time users."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"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 support system is not very good as of now."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"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."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"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."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"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."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"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."
