Proactive management empowers security measures with ease of onboarding
Entro Security could benefit from improvements in IAM control to allow segregation of duties among developers. Providing a more modular alerting system to have proactive measures without extensive communication with engineers would also be an improvement. While the basic alerts work, a more customizable alert system would be a plus.
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

"They are very helpful and responsive. They acknowledge issues, take feedback seriously, and implement features based on user requests."
"The top features of Entro Security that stand out are its ease of onboarding and discovery."
"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."
"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."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"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."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"It provides secure and centralized access to both on-prem and cloud servers, which we did not have before. Previously, there were myriad ways to access our servers, so this centralizing feature is beneficial."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
 

Cons

"Entro Security could benefit from improvements in IAM control to allow segregation of duties among developers."
"The detection of generic content or custom data specific to our company needs improvement. It has trouble detecting unique patterns of secrets."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
"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."
"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich. We spoke to our Safeguard reps who have acknowledged that some of the reporting features can certainly be improved and that we're not the only customer who has cited this. There are very little out-of-the-box reporting capabilities. You have to build the queries and the report. I believe in the next release they're going to be addressing this."
"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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 license is around $3,000 per month."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
