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

"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"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."
"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 first feature I like about One Identity Safeguard is the live contact point for the VPNs. This has been working very well for us, as it's both highly available and reliable."
"This is an extremely stable product."
"We have saved approximately thirty to forty percent of our time, and our team is spending more time on critical issues rather than managing passwords."
"Two-factor authentication has saved us from a couple of brute force attacks on a couple of our C-level executives."
"Overall, it has helped us save time, improve security, and reduce manual effort across the team."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."
"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."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."
"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture."
"VMware PCoIP protocol support: Many customers are switching from normal computers/environment to VDI infrastructure and some of them are switching to VMware Horizon that uses PCoIP protocol, which is not supported right now."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"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 area that needs improvement is reporting."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"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."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."
"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."
