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.

Great features with good certification module but the cost can be prohibitive for some
The only issue I have with the product is that there are modules that need to be bought separately, and that makes the product prohibitive for some of the customers that I've worked with, particularly in the middle-tier range. The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much. They could provide something similar to what Okta offers and I believe this would give the company a lot more traction in the mid-size range of companies. I'd like to see SailPoint support for custom-based connectors.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."
"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."
"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."
"One of the most important aspects is that it is very easy to use and install. It is also agentless, so all of the operations happen more smoothly than any other product."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."
"It is generally easy-to-use and install."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"It reduces the operational overhead of audits."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
 

Cons

"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."
"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."
"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."
"We have issues using Safeguard to connect to and record from the cloud. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."
"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."
"The UI is complex."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"The product must improve its support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It is affordable licensing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"They are expensive."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
