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.

Enhancing administration security with critical feature improvements needed

My primary use case is to make a training about Active Directory security. In my experience, I work with Bastion. I emphasize the importance of having a good knowledge of Bastion to avoid vulnerabilities It helps by providing some security features for administration, although it's crucial to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."

"It offers high availability and enables end users to deploy the solution with 99.999 percent uptime, which is crucial in an enterprise environment with a large number of endpoints."

"We have limited the possibilities for malicious actions and have made it safer for our users when they are using privileged accounts."

"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."

"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."

"There are a lot of features, so it's going to sound funny, but one of the most simplistic features, the Favorites feature, is the one we like the best. You do a full run-through of configuration to check out a server and then you can save that whole configuration as a favorite. So the next time you go in, you click on the favorite that you configured and it automatically takes you to the end so you can check the server out that much faster. It saves a lot of time..."

"There is ease of implementation."

"The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."

"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."

"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."

"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."

"The SPS could be a lot easier to administrate and the parts should be unified, from a design perspective, so that I can recognize the systems as being part of the same package. They feel like they have been forced together."

"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."

"I just received a question from a customer in regards to a connection with Oracle OID. I tried to integrate Safeguard with the Oracle YAML as well as something else to manage the groups and users from a different system, like AD or LDAP. This one feature could be better. At this moment, the platform system can only use the integration with LDAP or AD. The software for research and development to create a connector to a YAML platform can be very complicated."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."

"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"There could be more automation features for the solution."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."

"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."

"We have a yearly license. The cost depends on how much a company wants to invest in technology. In our organization, we believe in modern digitization and automation processes so we found it affordable. One Identity was not that much less than other solutions and it is not a cheap solution. There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."

"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
