Early threat detection and diverse OS support with enhanced security
Ekran System offers a lightweight solution that does not impact the systems where it is implemented. It provides rich metadata for monitored activities and includes threat analysis capabilities for early alerting and investigation of unauthorized actions. Additionally, it supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"We use the solution’s “transparent mode” feature for privileged sessions. It is very easy because it is only a simple configuration for our users. We don't have to modify our network. We install it, configure it, and it works. So, it is super easy. The rollout for our users is seamless."
"We use the solution’s Approval Anywhere feature which enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time-consuming approval processes. By using this platform, if someone goes on a vacation, out of office, or needs urgent/planned leave, then our setup will select the functions tied to that person and automatically delegate them to the next person. That person can start performing that duty based on their access. No sharing of passwords is required."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"I like the discovery functionality and the change password feature through the check-in. I also like the bulk import with the help of templates that come with it out of the box. With the help of these few features, my tasks are made easier."
"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."
"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."
 

Cons

"Ekran System could improve in terms of communication to the market, particularly after their rebranding as Shiteka."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."
"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"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."
"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."
"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."
