Room For Improvement

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro needs user interface improvements and affordable pricing, catering mainly to tech-savvy users with limited support.
One Identity Safeguard needs a more intuitive interface, better integration, enhanced support, and an adjusted pricing model for users.
Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days.
Network Administrator at a media company with 201-500 employees
While it integrates well with standard environments like Active Directory, expanding smoother integration across a wider range of tools would make it even more versatile.

For some configurations on the SPS side, if I need to make changes, such as for DNS servers, I must redeploy the machine.
Consultant at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
There are many steps. We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual.

Setup Cost

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cost-effective for enterprises, with a 25,000 rands fee, compared favorably to competitors.
One Identity Safeguard offers robust security and flexibility, with higher pricing that's justified and scalable, cheaper than CyberArk.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before.

It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
Systems Administrator at a university with 10,001+ employees
It is cheaper than CyberArk.
Consultant at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Regarding pricing, it may appear slightly on the higher side initially compared to some alternatives, but when we evaluate it against the security benefits, compliance support, and risk reduction, it proves to be cost-effective in the long run.

Valuable Features

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro provides secure, user-friendly password management with strong features, direct machine login, and auditing capabilities.
One Identity Safeguard enhances security through password vaulting, session monitoring, automated access control, and real-time threat detection.

Network Administrator at a media company with 201-500 employees
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
Systems Administrator at a university with 10,001+ employees
Automatic credential rotation helps our team by removing the need for manual changes to privileged passwords, reducing the risk of stale or shared credentials and ensuring that every access is controlled and compliant.

Featured Reviews

Network Administrator at a media company with 201-500 employees
Auditing enhances privileged account security with a fast deployment
The support for the PAM product is not very prompt. Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days. This process is slower compared to other products from the same manufacturer.
Mahesh Malve - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Business Development Executive at DigitalTrack Solutions Ind Pvt Ltd
Centralized control has strengthened privileged security and simplified audit investigations
While One Identity Safeguard is a strong and reliable PAM solution, there are a few areas where it can be further improved to enhance user experience and scalability. Regarding the user interface and experience, the UI, while functional, can be a bit complex for new users. A more intuitive and modern dashboard with simplified navigation would improve adoption, especially for non-technical stakeholders. Regarding integration flexibility, although it supports major integrations, expanding out-of-the-box connectors for more cloud-native apps, DevOps tools, and SaaS platforms would be beneficial. Faster and simpler API-based integrations could reduce deployment efforts. Regarding scalability and performance in large enterprise environments, performance tuning and scaling can require additional efforts. Enhancing seamless scalability and high availability configuration would improve enterprise readiness.
