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

"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."

"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..."

"We use the Approval Anywhere, or cloud assistant feature and it is great. It enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time to the approval process."

"The Transparent Mode is the number one advantage of the product."

"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."

"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."

"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."

"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

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

"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."

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

"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."

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

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

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

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."

"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."

"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."

"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."

"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."

"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."

"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."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

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

"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."

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

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

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

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

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."

"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."

"The license is around $3,000 per month."
