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

"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."
"I like Safeguard's snapshot feature that enables us to review the last time an application was opened and by whom. If there are any issues, we can look behind the scenes to see what has been done. We can suspend a user's access or close off a server."
"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"Using this solution has been a great decision in helping with our tasks."
"Now that we're able to audit log and record what is being done, we can play back all the sessions to make sure no type of unattended usage of the privilege or elevated credentials were being used, and from securing the bank standpoint, it has helped tremendously."
"But otherwise, I think it is a good product and a good buy."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"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."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"We have successfully overcome the challenges and proved they're the best."
"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."
"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."

Cons

"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."
"Support for One Identity Safeguard could be improved because sometimes the support team doesn't have an answer or solution for some bugs. A feature I found in a competitor would make One Identity Safeguard better, and that is the ability to load balance the traffic in the target."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"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."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"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."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"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."
