Centralized control has strengthened privileged security and simplified audit investigations

While One Identity Safeguard is a strong and reliable PAM solution, there are a few areas where it can be further improved to enhance user experience and scalability. Regarding the user interface and experience, the UI, while functional, can be a bit complex for new users. A more intuitive and modern dashboard with simplified navigation would improve adoption, especially for non-technical stakeholders. Regarding integration flexibility, although it supports major integrations, expanding out-of-the-box connectors for more cloud-native apps, DevOps tools, and SaaS platforms would be beneficial. Faster and simpler API-based integrations could reduce deployment efforts. Regarding scalability and performance in large enterprise environments, performance tuning and scaling can require additional efforts. Enhancing seamless scalability and high availability configuration would improve enterprise readiness.

Centralized access control has strengthened least privilege and streamlined audit compliance

The best features Veza offers in my experience are access visibility to see who can access what and which parts, relationship mapping of a user to roles, policies and resources, and risk detection such as over-permission and unused permission privileges. I can perform audit compliance using those features and the platform supports multiple platforms. Out of those features, I find risk detection to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work because I can check who has over-permission or unused permissions and understand relationship mapping and access visibility. Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization. We are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customer service and technical support are very good."

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

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

"Since implementing Safeguard by One Identity, we have improved the security of privileged accounts by eliminating the need to share passwords and enforcing controlled access."

"One Identity Safeguard has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security, efficiency, and visibility."

"I like Safeguard's snapshot feature that enables us to review the last time an application was opened and by whom. If there are any issues, we can look behind the scenes to see what has been done. We can suspend a user's access or close off a server."

"We were able to take an environment where we had several hosts managed by different people and consolidate that into a single, centrally managed solution."

"The system is easy to manage, as it is not a system that you will change everything all of a sudden. It evolves most of the time with customer requests."

More Safeguard by One Identity pros

"Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization, and we are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure."

"It's the only current GRC vendor with licensing rights for HITRUST 11.3 framework, and I've avoided expensive HITRUST licensing costs through a custom control framework."

Cons

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

"One feature that I feel One Identity Safeguard lacks is a robust reporting interface, as the data we get from it is not very well displayed."

"One Identity Safeguard can be improved in areas such as UI modernization."

"The integration part seems a bit challenging because some tools cannot be integrated properly with it."

"One key area is performance and resource usage, especially when advanced features like session recording or OCR are enabled."

"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."

"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."

"Our experience with technical support has been disappointing. We require more prompt and faster response times. We require answers to our questions right away but we haven't received that level of support."

More Safeguard by One Identity cons

"The support experience could be better."

"Veza can be improved as it is currently not suitable for small projects due to its high cost, complex setup, and requirement for more integration with multiple systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

"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."

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

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

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

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