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 better integration, clearer documentation, improved performance, enhanced support, cost-effective licensing, and a user-friendly interface.
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.
Senior Business Development Executive at Digitaltrack Solutions Private Limited
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.
Systems Administrator at a university with 10,001+ employees
 

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 features and affordability compared to competitors, though it's not the cheapest option overall.
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.
Network Administrator at a media company with 201-500 employees
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.
Senior Business Development Associate at a integrator with 501-1,000 employees
 

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 by managing privileged access with password vaulting, session monitoring, and seamless integration capabilities.
The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable.
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.

The password vault has been a game changer because it provides a secure and controlled way to store, manage, and rotate sensitive credentials without exposing them to users.

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 Associate at a integrator with 501-1,000 employees
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.
