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
We use this product for identity governance. There is the basic identity creation in the lifecycle followed by certification. I'm a company manager and implementer and we are customers of SailPoint.   I think the certification module is perhaps one of the most valuable features. The options are…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like Safeguard's snapshot feature that enables us to review the last time an application was opened and by whom. If there are any issues, we can look behind the scenes to see what has been done. We can suspend a user's access or close off a server."
"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."
"One of the most important things 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."
"We use the solution’s “transparent mode” feature for privileged sessions. It is very easy because it is only a simple configuration for our users. We don't have to modify our network. We install it, configure it, and it works. So, it is super easy. The rollout for our users is seamless."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"One Identity Safeguard is stable and provides great performance."
"It's a good solution for managing identities under OneFile for authorization."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"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."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
 

Cons

"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"We currently have a problem with the Active Directory integrations on Windows. Some of our users need to be logged with Active Directory, but we are having communication issues between One Identity and Active Directory. It seems that Active Directory is not well-integrated."
"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."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"Our experience with technical support has been disappointing. We require more prompt and faster response times. We require answers to our questions right away but we haven't received that level of support."
"The interface is better now, but it still could be improved a lot. It needs more organization, menus, automatic refresh of information, and Web 2.0."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"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."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"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."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"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."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"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."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
