Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation

We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. 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.

Enhancing administration security with critical feature improvements needed

My primary use case is to make a training about Active Directory security. In my experience, I work with Bastion. I emphasize the importance of having a good knowledge of Bastion to avoid vulnerabilities It helps by providing some security features for administration, although it's crucial to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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 use the Approval Anywhere, or cloud assistant feature and it is great. It enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time to the approval process."

"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."

"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."

"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 of the most important aspects is that it is very easy to use and install. It is also agentless, so all of the operations happen more smoothly than any other product."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."

"We currently have a problem with the Active Directory integrations on Windows. Some of our users need to be logged with Active Directory, but we are having communication issues between One Identity and Active Directory. It seems that Active Directory is not well-integrated."

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

"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."

"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."

"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."

"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."

"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

"There could be more automation features for the solution."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."

"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."

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."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

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

"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."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

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

"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."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
