Based on my experience, the majority of projects, around ninety-nine percent, involve virtual appliances. While I have performed some hardware appliance installations, I lack extensive experience with them. Therefore, I cannot definitively state whether they are good or bad. However, I can affirm that they function properly.

We use Safeguard for managing privileged passwords only, using physical appliances.

We are utilizing the virtual appliance solution because it is slightly more cost-effective and allows us to manage it remotely.

We use the virtual appliance of One Identity Safeguard to enhance security when external support is logged into our internal network.

We use One Identity Safeguard on both physical and virtual appliances.

We work with just the physical appliances. It wasn't my decision. It was what the client already had.

Minimal maintenance is required because it is a virtual appliance, and everything is preconfigured.

We have a virtual appliance. We chose the virtual appliance because we were already using a virtual machine infrastructure, so it was easy for us. Our implementation is not complex. We do not have a lot of regulations. It does not matter if we lose connectivity. It is not the end of the world, so for us, a virtual appliance was good enough. It was easier to implement. We do not need to rely on physical devices.

We are using the virtual appliance because we already have a virtual environment. The only on-prem setup we have are the physical servers that run a hypervisor. We like to have everything virtual. We can also secure a virtual appliance in a different way compared to the physical appliance. With a physical appliance, if something happens, we have to get hold of the vendor and sort out how fast they can ship a replacement, whereas we can deploy a virtual appliance instantly and get it up and running if there is a problem.
