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.

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

Pros

"Safeguard by One Identity has had a positive impact on my organization and my clients' projects, as several customers ended up satisfied after implementation and continued to use the product."
"I like the discovery functionality and the change password feature through the check-in. I also like the bulk import with the help of templates that come with it out of the box. With the help of these few features, my tasks are made easier."
"With One Identity Safeguard, we have seen clear, measurable improvements across security, operations, and compliance."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard has made a noticeable positive impact on our organization by giving us much better control and visibility over privileged access."
"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..."
"There is ease of implementation. Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view."
"One Identity Safeguard makes password manageability easy and helps us monitor and reduce manual tasks such as auditing and improving log visibility, while also providing compliance-based reporting for our upper management."
"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."
"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."
 

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."
"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."
"The SPS could be a lot easier to administrate and the parts should be unified, from a design perspective, so that I can recognize the systems as being part of the same package. They feel like they have been forced together."
"I think the initial setup of One Identity Safeguard could be more simplified, and the dashboard customization could also be improved."
"The only thing that we are looking for is to reduce the false alarming in the system to better analyze genuine concerns."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
"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."
"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

"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."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"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."
