One Identity Safeguard vs WALLIX Bastion comparison

"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."

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

"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."

"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."

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

"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."

"I have found the most useful feature of One Identity Safeguard to be Privileged Sessions."

"One Identity Safeguard is stable and provides great performance."

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

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

"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."

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

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

"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."

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

"From a usability perspective, what we are finding out is that our privileged domain admin users, in particular, want functionality for extending a checkout session. So we are working with One Identity support to see if there's an enhancement that can be made to the product."

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

"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."

"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."

"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."

"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."

"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."

"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."

"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."

"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."

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

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

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

"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."

"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."

"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."

"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."

"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."

"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."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

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

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

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