Th password vault feature has proven to be most effective for managing privileged access

One Identity Safeguard now prevents unauthorized access to servers by eliminating privileged passwords and requiring all connections to go through a PAM-authorized process. This means no one, including hackers, can access servers without explicit approval, significantly enhancing overall security. One Identity Safeguard is easy to use with a good partner to support you, and it can be up and running within a few days. We have successfully integrated One Identity Safeguard with cloud targets, and the process was straightforward. One Identity Safeguard has improved our incident response time by 300 percent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."

"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."

"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."

"The most unique and valuable features are the upstream and downstream throughput capacities; the Safeguard platform provides agile integration. In actuality, all the features are valuable. They're good, user-friendly."

"From my experience, the features are best for monitoring and the usage of LDAP and SSH."

"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."

"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

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

"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."

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

"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."

Cons

"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich. We spoke to our Safeguard reps who have acknowledged that some of the reporting features can certainly be improved and that we're not the only customer who has cited this. There are very little out-of-the-box reporting capabilities. You have to build the queries and the report. I believe in the next release they're going to be addressing this."

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

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

"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."

"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."

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

"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."

"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."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

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

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

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

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

"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."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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