Featured Reviews

Manager, Account Services Delivery at Softcell Technologies Limited
Privileged access has become centralized and streamlines multi-client audits and compliance
The best features we can highlight are privileged password vaulting and automatic password rotation, just-in-time privileged access, and session monitoring and recording. These features together stand out because they significantly reduce credential exposure, enforce least privilege access, and provide full auditing visibility across multiple client environments, as we are a service delivery and IT service delivery company with multiple customer environments and access. We rely most on just-in-time privileged access with credential vaulting. It is easy for the team to use day-to-day because access requests and approvals are streamlined and automated. Credentials are never exposed and sessions are automatically logged. After initial setup, adoption was smooth and it fit well into our existing operational workflows without adding stress to our operational team to adapt to the new technology. One Identity Safeguard has strengthened privileged access security across our multiple client environments. We have seen a reduction in shared credentials and unauthorized access. We have also seen faster approval for admin tasks and improved audit readiness. It has streamlined compliance reporting and reduced the operational risk of managing multiple client environments manually. Implementing this solution, we have reduced privileged account-related incidents by thirty percent. We have also cut manual password management time by nearly fifty to sixty percent. Just-in-time access has sped up admin task completion and improved our overall compliance reporting, allowing audits to be completed nearly half the time compared to earlier.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"It is generally easy-to-use and install."
"We have seen a 12% return on investment with One Identity Safeguard, and we have saved a significant amount of money."
"One Identity Safeguard is stable and provides great performance."
"The solution transparently integrates into the infrastructure and users do not notice it. I would give this feature the highest rating."
"I have found One Identity Safeguard to be stable."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"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 setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
 

Cons

"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"It needs more marketing."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"I rated One Identity Safeguard nine out of 10 because the stability and control could be better, as there are some problems with stability and errors when we use it."
"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"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 performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"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 more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."
"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."
"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."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
