Manager, Account Services Delivery at Softcell Technologies Limited
Privileged access has become centralized and streamlines multi-client audits and compliance
The best features we can highlight are privileged password vaulting and automatic password rotation, just-in-time privileged access, and session monitoring and recording. These features together stand out because they significantly reduce credential exposure, enforce least privilege access, and provide full auditing visibility across multiple client environments, as we are a service delivery and IT service delivery company with multiple customer environments and access. We rely most on just-in-time privileged access with credential vaulting. It is easy for the team to use day-to-day because access requests and approvals are streamlined and automated. Credentials are never exposed and sessions are automatically logged. After initial setup, adoption was smooth and it fit well into our existing operational workflows without adding stress to our operational team to adapt to the new technology. One Identity Safeguard has strengthened privileged access security across our multiple client environments. We have seen a reduction in shared credentials and unauthorized access. We have also seen faster approval for admin tasks and improved audit readiness. It has streamlined compliance reporting and reduced the operational risk of managing multiple client environments manually. Implementing this solution, we have reduced privileged account-related incidents by thirty percent. We have also cut manual password management time by nearly fifty to sixty percent. Just-in-time access has sped up admin task completion and improved our overall compliance reporting, allowing audits to be completed nearly half the time compared to earlier.

Automation has improved uptime and manages hundreds of uplinked TV channels reliably
With the help of Teleport, we are managing many channels. I find it easy to manage how to uplink the channels, and we are automating many things in our setups. We have an MCR, an automatic NMS, and a data center. We have managed it well to make life easier for my employees and colleagues. Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime. Our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%. With Teleport, we can achieve this uptime by using the best equipment and best automation systems, such as alarms. We have applied DataMiner, Barco systems for alarming, and DataMiner for managing the RF things. We have applied many systems in Teleport.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution’s Approval Anywhere feature which enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time-consuming approval processes. By using this platform, if someone goes on a vacation, out of office, or needs urgent/planned leave, then our setup will select the functions tied to that person and automatically delegate them to the next person. That person can start performing that duty based on their access. No sharing of passwords is required."
"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."
"The solution transparently integrates into the infrastructure and users do not notice it. I would give this feature the highest rating."
"One Identity Safeguard is stable and provides great performance."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"It offers high availability and enables end users to deploy the solution with 99.999 percent uptime, which is crucial in an enterprise environment with a large number of endpoints."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"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."
"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%."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"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."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
 

Cons

"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."
"They should provide a faster user interface, as we have noticed that the user interface acts slow when there are a large number of accounts or concurrent sessions going on."
"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."
"Even though we have two nodes, there's no way to do an upgrade without taking everything completely offline. It would be nice if they could improve that."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"The deployment of One Identity Safeguard took about a few weeks, and I can say it was a painful process."
"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"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."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"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."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"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."
