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.

Centralized access has strengthened security and simplified day-to-day infrastructure operations

Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration. Beyond onboarding and RBAC complexity, there are areas that could be enhanced from an integration perspective. While SSO integration works well, deeper out-of-the-box integrations with SIEM and monitoring tools would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center, and it is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."

"Two-factor authentication has saved us from a couple of brute force attacks on a couple of our C-level executives."

"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."

"The monitoring system is very good."

"I give it an eight because of its robust security features, its splendid automated password management, and real-time activity monitoring that stood out to me."

"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."

"One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."

"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."

"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."

"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."

"Regarding how Teleport has positively impacted my organization, I have learned a lot of things through it, I understand how to deliver and receive content, and I have learned many things related to RF signals where we lose packets."

"Teleport has positively impacted my organization by being very helpful for productivity and team collaboration, especially since the old tool we used took a lot of time to get approvals."

"Teleport definitely reduced the risks; we are no longer exposing root-level accounts for people that are meant to have an elevated account."

"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."

More Teleport pros

Cons

"I tried to integrate Safeguard with the Oracle YAML as well as something else to manage the groups and users from a different system, like AD or LDAP. This one feature could be better."

"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."

"It needs more marketing."

"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."

"I have encountered scalability issues. The system needs to be properly analysed before putting it into production."

"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."

"We should be able to create customized connectors in a better way. For ad hoc or special use cases, I sometimes find we have limitations. Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"The high availability function of the box itself requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another, so there is room for improvement."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"Sometimes our devices do not reflect the error, and then we work on why it is not showing any alarm or issue, even though we experience distortion or issues on the TS."

"I rate it a seven because, as I mentioned, there is a security threat regarding clipboard access."

"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."

"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."

"I think it should have less complexity to set up on self-hosted because it is still a difficult process and I spend a lot of time using it on self-host."

"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."

"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."

"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."

"The license is around $3,000 per month."

"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."

"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

"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."
