Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ibrahim Albalawi - PeerSpot reviewer
Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing
The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 first feature I like about One Identity Safeguard is the live contact point for the VPNs. This has been working very well for us, as it's both highly available and reliable."
"It is generally easy-to-use and install."
"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."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"The technical support is tremendous."
"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."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"One of the most valuable features it has is the thread chaining. One of the common issues that we always had was the number of anomalies that we used to get and the number of alerts that we used to get. But with this approach of thread chaining, we've found the false-positive rate has decreased very significantly. That was something that we never could have achieved before."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their analytics platform where they have the open security data-link, which they introduced. This is typically different from the other vendors."
"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."
"The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly."
"Risk scoring was nice. We could exactly see which user had the highest risk score, and then we could pick it up and work on it."
"SNYPR has a bundle of features. It has the UEBA feature that tells you about the behavior of a person or entity. In the tool itself, there is an incident management feature, which is definitely valuable."
"The detection of threats and reduction of false positive alarms as compared to other solutions are valuable features. It has improved threat detection response and reduced a lot of noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."
 

Cons

"Even though we have two nodes, there's no way to do an upgrade without taking everything completely offline. It would be nice if they could improve that."
"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"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."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"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."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"It needs more marketing."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."
"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."
"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."
"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."
"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."
"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment. What I see is that Securonix is more focused on their product. They are expanding, in a big way, the number of customers. So there has to be a number of dedicated teams to jump on and speed up the deployment process."
"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."
"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."
"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
