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

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

"The most unique and valuable features are the upstream and downstream throughput capacities; the Safeguard platform provides agile integration. In actuality, all the features are valuable. They're good, user-friendly."

"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 extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."

"From my experience, the features are best for monitoring and the usage of LDAP and SSH."

"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."

"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."

"The solution transparently integrates into the infrastructure and users do not notice it. I would give this feature the highest rating."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"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."

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

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

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

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

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

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

"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."

"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."

"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."

"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."

"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich. We spoke to our Safeguard reps who have acknowledged that some of the reporting features can certainly be improved and that we're not the only customer who has cited this. There are very little out-of-the-box reporting capabilities. You have to build the queries and the report. I believe in the next release they're going to be addressing this."

"We should be able to create customized connectors in a better way. For ad hoc or special use cases, I sometimes find we have limitations. Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

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

More One Identity Safeguard cons

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

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

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

"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."

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

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