Offers good session monitoring and recording features

Some options are required in the tool, especially to help in scenarios where if a user's ID gets locked, that person cannot unlock the ID from ARCON Privileged Access Management. Even the technical team in my company cannot unlock any locked ID with the help of the tool. Even if there is an admin password, ARCON Privileged Access Management releases it using its functionalities, allowing users to generate a password during an emergency. If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required.

Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation

We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Session recording is the most valuable feature, as it covers compliance and it also covers our in-house applications."

"For compliance, each change I do, in each of the servers, is clearly recorded. We recently faced an audit and this was an awesome feature. Even our auditor had praise for it saying, "This is really a good feature.""

"100% compliant and you don't have to maintain ID management for each and every user."

"They don't just stick to a base version; instead, they actively enhance and improve it based on client feedback and industry trends."

"After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity."

"The video logs help us to identify any misuse of privileged accounts."

"Logging, particularly screen recording for Windows RDP sessions. Also, command-logging for SSH sessions. This really helps us to see what commands/changes have been executed in a particular service at a given point of time, and by whom."

"The initial setup was very simple. There was only one server we had to setup. We needed to store all the passwords, and a secure database is used."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management pros

"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."

"It is generally easy-to-use and install."

"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."

"The initial setup is very easy."

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

"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."

"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."

"I have found One Identity Safeguard to be stable."

Cons

"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."

"The usability should be expanded to other browsers like Chrome and Firefox."

"The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available."

"They they should focus on support. The support needs to be very strong. Since the product is becoming stronger, their support team also should be equally strong. They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set. Their support team should be more technical, to understand the issue or the set up."

"We would like to see support for privileged accounts used in web-based systems like Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway, VMware ESXI management tools, etc."

"One common problem I faced with ARCON PAM was compatibility issues with certain software versions."

"The solution needs more work on the password management side of things. Password management is a big challenge for us, and I would like to improve this aspect. We're finding that BeyondTrust is better in this regard, which is why we're probably going to migrate over. It will offer better security I think."

"If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management cons

"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."

"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."

"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it. On paper when we were initially talking about it, it was definitely going to be the preferred method until we realized the burden it would be on our network guys. Then, we had to step back and reevaluate what we wanted to do. That's when we changed our approach to use the RD Gateway feature."

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

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

"It needs more marketing."

"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."

"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available with competitive pricing. Licensing is not complex. We calculated the license requirements by counting the number of admins and the number of devices which were going to integrate with it."

"The product's pricing is a good value. It's appropriately priced. The product has all the required features. It doesn't work in some of the areas but, right now overall, it's pretty good."

"It is good value for our business. According to me, their competitors are more costly. Therefore, it is quite affordable. I find the ARCON to be much cheaper than the other products in the market."

"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."

"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."

"We have a subscription to use this solution."

"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."

"The cost of this product is very cheap, comparatively in the global market."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."

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

"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."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

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