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.

Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most unique and valuable features are the upstream and downstream throughput capacities; the Safeguard platform provides agile integration. In actuality, all the features are valuable. They're good, user-friendly."
"The whole product solves the privileged access management challenge for our company. We have a secure tunnel, a secure session manager, and automatic logging of sessions, which is good for forensic purposes. We have a rich level of logs and can trace what happened on which machine and see who did what."
"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."
"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 transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"It reduces the operational overhead of audits."
 

Cons

"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"It needs more marketing."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"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."
"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"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."
"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"The solution is not cheap."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
