One Identity Safeguard Reviews

One Identity Safeguard is used to secure privileged access management, credential vaulting, and session monitoring because we are an IT-based company that handles the IT infrastructure of our clients, making it very important to keep everything secure.

One Identity Safeguard vaults privileged service accounts and provides time-bound access, ensuring that all administrative actions are tracked, reviewed, and easily monitored. We also use One Identity Safeguard to securely check admin credentials for customer servers. All access is automatically recorded and monitored through session auditing, which helps us comply with our customers' requirements.

We centrally manage privileged credentials, enforce secure access workflows, and record privileged sessions to maintain compliance and strengthen the IT security we deliver to our customers.

The best feature for us is the secure password vaulting, session recording, and automated approval workflows, because this gives us strong control over privileged access and helps us stay compliant both within our organization and with respect to customer compliance. The second feature that stands out is the real-time session monitoring and automatic credential rotation.

Automatic credential rotation helps our team by removing the need for manual changes to privileged passwords, reducing the risk of stale or shared credentials and ensuring that every access is controlled and compliant. It saves time and reduces risk since passwords are rotated after every use, so no one keeps passwords for long-term access. This prevents misuse and limits the impact of credential leaks.

We have found that we are able to comply with all security standards through the password rotation, which has helped us improve our security posture by centrally managing all privileged action accounts and enforcing strict access control to these accounts. Since the session monitoring feature and audit trail are available, we can see what changes were made by the user, who used this, how many times, and what was done in this session. We have also seen a reduction in IT operations because of password credential rotation and password management, which has reduced our manual work and increased our efficiency and security.

Our manual intervention has decreased because of the time we were taking for password management, and we have increased security with roughly a twenty to thirty percent decrease in IT calls, allowing the IT team to do other jobs because the load of password management has decreased. We have increased accountability since every privileged action is now traceable, which significantly strengthens our internal security control, and we have been able to get the compliance checks done much faster.

We have saved time since we do not have to manually manage passwords because One Identity Safeguard has automated that process. We have saved approximately thirty to forty percent of our time, and our team is spending more time on critical issues rather than managing passwords. This has reduced repetitive IT tasks and allowed our team to focus on more significant projects, and it has also reduced the risk of breaches and costly security penalties.

We have always received positive feedback from our team. The password rotation feature of this product is appreciated by all users, and they like this because they have saved time using this product, since they were previously wasting time on password management and manual interventions.

One Identity Safeguard should provide more documentation and training to the team. They can also provide better integration flexibility with more built-in connectors, and easy API workflows would help integrate more with our custom tools. They should provide a faster user interface, as we have noticed that the user interface acts slow when there are a large number of accounts or concurrent sessions going on.

Not every product can be perfect. For example, some parts of the user interface can feel a bit slow when there is a large number of concurrent sessions going on, and the integration with certain third-party tools requires more extensive implementation and configuration. These reasons made me give it an eight instead of a ten, but these are not major issues and just keep it from being completely flawless.

We have been using One Identity Safeguard for two years.

One Identity Safeguard is currently stable, and we have not found any issues. Since its implementation, we have not faced any major issues, and there has been no downtime.

One Identity Safeguard is scalable. We are implementing it globally, starting from one line of business, and now we are expanding, so it is scalable without any issues.

I cannot speak much about the pricing because I am from the technical team and pricing is looked at by the sales team in our organization. However, I can speak about the support, which is very good with faster response times, and the team helps us every time with minimal downtime if we face any issues.

We are satisfied with customer support. The support team is technically very strong and responsive.

We were using CyberArk, but we switched to One Identity Safeguard because it was costly. Everything was good with CyberArk, but we needed to scale, and the licensing costs were high.

We have deployed One Identity Safeguard in a phased manner. We deployed it for one line of business first, then for the second line, and we are planning to deploy it for other lines of business as well. The deployment for one line of business took approximately one month.

The privileged users adapted easily, and the deployment was done without disturbing our existing environment and setup, so there was no disruption, and the work went smoothly alongside the deployment.

We did not face any significant challenges because the vendor team helped us with the integration, so the ease of integration was quite simple. We only had basic use cases like creating tickets for access requests, which are relatively straightforward, and there were not many complex integrations done. It was easy to integrate and the vendor team helped us with a step-by-step checklist for the integration with our existing SIEM and ITSM tools.

The pricing, costing, and licensing type is quite low compared to other products, so One Identity Safeguard is cheaper than other products, and the functions it has are worth the cost.

I was not part of the evaluation team, but the evaluation team must have evaluated other products. One example of an option that I personally evaluated was BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management.

One thing other organizations should know about One Identity Safeguard is that it integrates well with the existing identity system, which is a very great point for other organizations to know before purchasing it because it makes it easier to deploy in their environment without changing the current workflow or existing network.

One Identity Safeguard provides heterogeneous integration with our existing products or legacy products, and the API integration is very helpful because it allows us to automate the onboarding of privileged accounts and integrate it with our existing ITSM tools, which is a really good thing about this product.

I would advise others looking into using One Identity Safeguard to choose this product because it is cheaper but provides great outcomes, and the security features are robust. I have given this product an overall rating of nine out of ten.

I have been using One Identity Safeguard for the past three years. One Identity Safeguard is one of our champion PAM tools that our organization uses. We started using One Identity Safeguard for our very premium accounts and clientele accounts where there were a lot of cyber threats or cybersecurity issues.

With our privileged accounts, the main issue we face is doing any sort of integration through API, as that becomes very susceptible to threat attacks. We are using PAM tools during our API integration to ensure security.

There is one thing that we are currently focusing on, which is detecting behaviors or threat behaviors to improve our analysis of threat detection.

As I mentioned earlier, this past trend analysis of all these threat attacks, flagging up the red issues, is something very good and happens in a proactive manner. One Identity Safeguard has definitely strengthened our operational security because what they do is combine your password with a secure solution and analyze any deviations such as unusual password activity.

One Identity Safeguard is a game changer for us, especially for rapid business expansion and building trust with our clients.

The only thing that we are looking for is to reduce the false alarming in the system to better analyze genuine concerns.

I need more improvement on the product trials and the signup features. Easing the initial deployment would benefit new users. We have requested that real-time privileged threat analytics be made very customizable to the specific business and IT environments.

I have been using One Identity Safeguard for the past three years.

I will give a stability rating of more than 90 percent for One Identity Safeguard, as I have never seen it crash or slow down during updates.

We have seen enormous productivity enhancement, measured through client feedback, with our ratings never dropping below 4.2.

We are always in touch with customer care, which is available 24/7, and issues are resolved through a ticketing solution very efficiently.

We were using a PAM solution from Automation Anywhere but switched due to issues with their licensing and lack of support.

For us, it took three to four months because we had multiple layers of negotiation regarding pricing and licensing.

For those who manage it, I think about one to two days of training is required, and existing users can use it within a few hours.

It was pretty seamless for them; this solution does not feel like a burden to them and they did not have to compromise their existing routines.

I would say the pricing was a bit on the higher side, but we had a good rapport that led to a favorable pricing model.

We have not been able to evaluate other options due to time constraints given by one of our clients.

One Identity Safeguard is a one-stop solution for all your privileged account management needs, and I recommend experiencing it before making a decision. My recommendation is to choose One Identity Safeguard for a long, secure, sustainable future in managing privileged accounts. I gave this review an overall rating of 9 out of 10.

My main use case for One Identity Safeguard is that it serves as a secure, strong PAM solution, and we are using it for PAM authentication.

In daily work, we use One Identity Safeguard for privilege access management, including secure PAM authentication, password vaulting, access request approval, session monitoring, and automatic password rotation for privileged accounts and service servers.

Apart from PAM authentication, we also use One Identity Safeguard for secure privileged session management, auditing, compliance, tracking, and centralized control for critical administrative accounts. It helps to improve security, accountability, and operational efficiency in daily infrastructure management.

One Identity Safeguard has improved our organization's security posture by providing centralized privileged access management, secure password vaulting, and session monitoring. It has helped to reduce manual password handling, improve compliance and audit tracking, and increase accountability for privileged access activities. Overall, it enhances operational security, streamlines access management, and reduces risks related to privileged accounts.

We have seen improvements in multiple areas. It helped reduce risks related to privileged account misuse by enforcing secure password management and session monitoring. We also saved operational time through automated password rotation and centralized access control. From a compliance perspective, auditing and session recording made it easier during security reviews and audit processes, improving overall accountability and traceability.

One Identity Safeguard offers several strong features for PAM. The best ones are password vaulting, automatic password rotation, privileged session monitoring and recording, role-based access control, and approval workflows. I also appreciate the centralized log management, auditing and compliance reporting, and integration with Active Directory and enterprise environments. Features such as session playback, real-time monitoring, and REST API support are very useful for daily administration and security operations.

The feature that has had the biggest impact on my daily operations is the password vaulting and automatic password rotation. It has significantly improved security by eliminating manual password sharing and reducing the risk of unauthorized access. It also saves operational time because administrators can securely request access through One Identity Safeguard without knowing the actual password. Session monitoring and auditing also help a great deal during troubleshooting and compliance reviews.

One additional advantage is that it provides centralized control and complete audit visibility for privileged access activities.

One Identity Safeguard is a strong PAM solution, but there are some areas for improvement. The initial deployment and integration process can be complex in large enterprise environments. The user interface and reporting can be improved to make administration and troubleshooting easier. More simplified integration with cloud platforms and third-party tools would also help.

I have been using One Identity Safeguard for the last three years.

One Identity Safeguard is a stable and reliable PAM solution in our experience. We have seen good performance with minimal downtime, especially for password vaulting, session monitoring, and privileged access workflows. It handles enterprise environments well when properly configured and maintained.

One Identity Safeguard is highly scalable and works well for enterprise environments. It supports scaling through clustering, distributed architecture, and high availability options, which helps handle growing numbers of privileged accounts, sessions, and users efficiently. In our experience, it has managed increasing workloads and integration without major performance issues.

Customer support has generally been good in our experience. The support team is knowledgeable and helpful, especially for One Identity Safeguard's standard deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting issues. Response times are usually reasonable, although complex enterprise-level issues can sometimes take longer to resolve and require escalation.

Earlier, we were using a more manual approach along with basic privileged account management processes. We moved to One Identity Safeguard to improve centralized privileged access control, password vaulting, session monitoring, compliance, and overall security management in a more scalable and enterprise-ready way.

The initial deployment of One Identity Safeguard took a few weeks, including setup, integration with Active Directory, policy configuration, onboarding asset accounting, testing, and user access validation. The timeline mainly depended on the environment size and security requirements.

One Identity Safeguard has been integrated with Active Directory, cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, and various Windows and Linux servers for privileged access management. It also supports integration with enterprise applications, SIEM, log monitoring tools, and automation workflows to improve security and centralize access control.

The integrations were manageable overall, especially with Active Directory and standard Windows and Linux environments. Cloud integration with AWS and Azure required additional planning and configuration, but the documentation and available connectors helped. Some advanced integration and custom workflows were more complex and required careful testing and coordination with security and infrastructure teams.

A moderate level of training was required initially, mainly for administrators handling deployment, policy management, integration, and troubleshooting. For end-users, only basic guidance was needed for the access request and password retrieval workflows. Overall, the team adapted quickly after hands-on usage.

We have seen a positive return on investment. One Identity Safeguard helped reduce the manual effort for password management and privileged access handling, which saves operational time for administrators. It also improved compliance and audit readiness, reducing time spent during security reviews. While it did not directly reduce headcount, it improved efficiency and centralized control and reduced security risks related to privileged accounts.

One Identity Safeguard is positioned as an enterprise-grade PAM solution, so the cost is on the higher side.

During the evaluation phase, we also looked at other PAM solutions such as CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. We compared them on security features, integration, deployment complexity, session monitoring, password vaulting, scalability, and overall operational requirements before selecting One Identity Safeguard.

The deployment was relatively smooth with minimal disruption for privileged users. Initially, users needed some adaptation to the access request and approval workflow. After onboarding and training, the process became streamlined and improved overall security.

The integration improved operational efficiency and security by centralizing privileged access management, reducing manual password handling, and improving visibility through auditing and session monitoring. It also helps streamline access workflows across multiple platforms and environments.

The advice would be to properly plan the PAM implementation before deployment, especially around privileged account discovery, access policies, integration, and user onboarding. Start with the critical systems first and then gradually expand across the environment. Also, involve security, infrastructure, and compliance teams early in the process. I have given this review an overall rating of ten.

My main use case for One Identity Safeguard is for privileged access management to control, monitor, and secure access to critical systems, servers, and applications used by administrators and IT teams.

A quick specific example of how I use it for privileged access management in my environment is that when an administrator needs access to a critical server, they request access through One Identity Safeguard instead of using shared credentials. The system grants time-bound, approved access, rotates the password automatically after the session, and records the entire activity.

The best features One Identity Safeguard offers include Privileged Password Vaulting as the first one. The strongest features are Session Recording and Password Vaulting with rotation and Just-in-Time Access, which together give strong control and visibility and audit readiness.

The Session Recording feature specifically helps my team and makes things easier for audits or investigations by giving a clear, time-stamped playback of privileged activities. It removes guesswork, speeds up audits, and ensures full accountability for admin actions.

One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted my organization by improving our security posture, eliminating shared privileged credentials, increasing visibility into admin activity, and making compliance audits faster and more reliable.

One Identity Safeguard could be improved by simplifying the user interface and initial configuration process, especially for first-time users. More customizable reporting and clear in-app guidance would also help teams onboard faster and get deeper insights without additional effort.

I have been using One Identity Safeguard for about one year.

One Identity Safeguard is very stable and can handle the workload easily; I have not seen any downtime.

One Identity Safeguard scales well as the environment grows. It handles increasing numbers of privileged accounts, sessions, and cloud targets without performance issues, making it suitable for expanding and hybrid infrastructure.

Customer support has been responsive and knowledgeable, being effective at resolving technical issues.

Negative

The integration with my cloud environment and infrastructure systems was moderately easy. Core cloud and infrastructure integrations were straightforward with proper documentation, while fine-tuning policies and access workflows required some initial effort. Once configured, the integrations have been stable and reliable.

Administrators required moderate training to understand configuration, policies, and workflows, while end users needed minimal training since access requests and approvals are straightforward. Overall, onboarding was manageable with some initial guidance.

I have seen a return on investment through reduced audit effort and fewer security incidents related to privileged access, along with significant time savings for IT and security teams by automating access control and password management.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that pricing is on the higher side, but aligns with the security and compliance value it provides. Setup costs were mainly related to initial configuration and training, and licensing was straightforward.

I evaluated other options such as CyberArk and BeyondTrust before choosing One Identity Safeguard.

User feedback has been generally positive around the solution's security and session recording and access control capabilities. However, some users have mentioned that the interface and initial learning curve could be more intuitive, especially for new or non-specialist users.

My advice for others looking into using One Identity Safeguard is to clearly define your privileged access use cases and policies before implementation. It gives stronger security and audit capabilities, but investing time in proper planning, setup, and training will help you get the most value from the solution. I would rate this review a 7.

My main use case for One Identity Safeguard is to store our IDs and passwords so that they can be used later for logging in. It also helps us when our employees are working from home by managing IDs, passwords, and other login credentials safely, without any worry of password theft or identity theft.

A specific example of how I use One Identity Safeguard with employees working from home is when they are using their personal Wi-Fi connection, where the chance of personal theft increases. One Identity Safeguard helps us manage the chances of theft, reducing the instances of password theft and identity theft, which has been very useful for us and has also reduced the cases we experience.

The best features are that the user interface is very good and the functionality is smooth, with a good user experience overall. Apart from this, the third-party integration that One Identity Safeguard provides is another major feature that I appreciate. It integrates well with other third-party websites and solutions, allowing the end user to log in or save their password on those websites using One Identity Safeguard.

A specific third-party integration that I found especially useful was when we integrated Salesforce Cloud, which was a smooth experience overall without any bottlenecks during the integration process, resulting in a good workflow.

The incidents of password theft have reduced by around forty percent, which has been a very good result from using One Identity Safeguard for our organization and is a great benefit for us.

We have saved a lot of time because users no longer have to save passwords manually, as everything has been automated. This saving of time leads to increased overall efficiency of our organization.

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. A reporting dashboard is missing and needs to be incorporated in the coming updates. This is one of the essential features that is missing from the solution.

One Identity Safeguard needs improvement in customer support, and there are also glitches while logging in that end users face. These minor glitches cause problems for us, which need to be addressed.

In the case of the glitches, sometimes we have to try two or three times for one task. While these glitches are minor and happen occasionally, they need to be taken care of.

I have been using One Identity Safeguard for the last one and a half years.

One Identity Safeguard is stable and quite performance-centric.

One Identity Safeguard's scalability is quite good.

The deployment affected my privileged users by being somewhat disruptive, as they had to make changes to their day-to-day workflow. Overall, it was a very good experience with support from the One Identity Safeguard team during the deployment stage.

There was no need for any training for either end-users or for the people who manage One Identity Safeguard.

We have not integrated One Identity Safeguard with other parts of our business.

If you are looking to increase the organization's efficiency, One Identity Safeguard is the solution that needs to be purchased, as it is an overall cost-efficient solution for business needs.

I find that the pricing is very affordable and the setup cost is also very affordable, aligning with our budget. Licensing is per-user based.

While selecting One Identity Safeguard, we evaluated other options, but they were not aligning with our business needs, so we chose One Identity Safeguard instead.

After thoughtfully considering the pros and cons of One Identity Safeguard, I give this product a rating of nine because it is overall very good software. However, factoring in the subpar customer support and the technical glitches, I believe nine is a perfect rating.
