7.0

Even with TAM support from Exabeam, many issues go unresolved.
I sometimes need escalations to reach expertise.
Sometimes, I get a very helpful response and they address issues on a call.
When I have day-to-day incidents and problems, the response is good enough in terms of time and quality.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Exabeam scales well for enterprise use, despite some latency issues and slowdowns with increased filtering criteria.
Sentiment score
7.1
One Identity Safeguard is praised for scalability and ease of resource deployment but may affect performance and high availability.
The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten.
We have a cluster of SPPs and a cluster of SPSs, and we can add a node to that cluster without much fuss.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.
 

Stability Issues

7.2
Exabeam is stable with high ratings, though some users face processing delays and downtime affecting SOC monitoring.
Sentiment score
7.5

In terms of stability, I rate One Identity Safeguard nine to ten out of ten.
I encounter problems primarily with the failover procedure.
 

Room For Improvement

Exabeam needs better flexibility, integration, clearer documentation, enhanced dashboards, faster support, improved UI, and reduced false positives.
One Identity Safeguard needs improvements in integration, management, documentation, interface, support, monitoring, threat detection, and pricing.
Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management.
I have explored the SaaS version; it offers many new features.
For some configurations on the SPS side, if I need to make changes, such as for DNS servers, I must redeploy the machine.
There are many steps. We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual.
Another area for improvement could be the threat detection capabilities, like those seen in other PAM vendors.
 

Setup Cost

Exabeam offers reasonable pricing with flexible models, though not the cheapest, it's competitively priced compared to some competitors.
One Identity Safeguard is costly but valued for flexibility and robust security, with straightforward licensing and worthwhile investment.
It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
It is cheaper than CyberArk.
It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk.
 

Valuable Features

Exabeam excels with advanced analytics, intuitive interface, seamless integration, automation, and machine learning for enhanced security and ease of use.
One Identity Safeguard enhances security with seamless user experience, extensive features, centralized access, and robust monitoring for on-prem and cloud management.
Exabeam's AI capabilities, like the natural language mode, convert natural language into Exabeam queries, enhancing ease of use.
The product offers useful features like the dashboard, timeline, and session views, which enhance our security tools.
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
I think One Identity should improve its documentation because it is vast and not clear, and clear documentation on implementing the solution would be advantageous for consultants.
Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view.

Featured Reviews

Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.
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.
