Th password vault feature has proven to be most effective for managing privileged access

One Identity Safeguard now prevents unauthorized access to servers by eliminating privileged passwords and requiring all connections to go through a PAM-authorized process. This means no one, including hackers, can access servers without explicit approval, significantly enhancing overall security. One Identity Safeguard is easy to use with a good partner to support you, and it can be up and running within a few days. We have successfully integrated One Identity Safeguard with cloud targets, and the process was straightforward. One Identity Safeguard has improved our incident response time by 300 percent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."

"The customer service and technical support are very good."

"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."

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

"It is generally easy-to-use and install."

"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 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."

"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..."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

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

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."

"We have not had any issues with the core product itself, but there is an add-on called SCALUS, which is quite critical to the user experience, and that does not work. They have been having issues with that for quite a long time, like months. That is not great at all."

"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."

"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."

"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."

"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."

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

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

More One Identity Safeguard cons

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

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

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

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

"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."

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

"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."

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."
