Early threat detection and diverse OS support with enhanced security

Ekran System offers a lightweight solution that does not impact the systems where it is implemented. It provides rich metadata for monitored activities and includes threat analysis capabilities for early alerting and investigation of unauthorized actions. Additionally, it supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format.

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

"It supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format."

"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."

"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."

"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."

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

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

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

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

"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."

Cons

"Ekran System could improve in terms of communication to the market, particularly after their rebranding as Shiteka."

"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."

"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."

"We currently have a problem with the Active Directory integrations on Windows. Some of our users need to be logged with Active Directory, but we are having communication issues between One Identity and Active Directory. It seems that Active Directory is not well-integrated."

"From a management point of view, it would be beneficial if One Identity Safeguard Privilege Password and One Identity Safeguard Privilege Session had a more similar interface."

"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."

"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."

"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

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

"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"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."

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

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

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