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

"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"It is user-friendly. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"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 most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"It is generally easy-to-use and install."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."
"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."
"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."
 

Cons

"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"Support for One Identity Safeguard could be improved because sometimes the support team doesn't have an answer or solution for some bugs. A feature I found in a competitor would make One Identity Safeguard better, and that is the ability to load balance the traffic in the target."
"The GUI has room for improvement because it is confusing and cumbersome."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"Its subscription cost is too much, and sometimes, it is very difficult to pitch the solution to the management for cost approval. If the cost is reduced a little bit, it would be easier. If its cost was less, many other organizations that currently cannot afford it would be able to use this technology. I'm sure many organizations around the globe are having issues with identity management, and it is a very difficult task for IT to manage privileged accounts."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
