There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

Centralized control has strengthened privileged security and simplified audit investigations
While One Identity Safeguard is a strong and reliable PAM solution, there are a few areas where it can be further improved to enhance user experience and scalability. Regarding the user interface and experience, the UI, while functional, can be a bit complex for new users. A more intuitive and modern dashboard with simplified navigation would improve adoption, especially for non-technical stakeholders. Regarding integration flexibility, although it supports major integrations, expanding out-of-the-box connectors for more cloud-native apps, DevOps tools, and SaaS platforms would be beneficial. Faster and simpler API-based integrations could reduce deployment efforts. Regarding scalability and performance in large enterprise environments, performance tuning and scaling can require additional efforts. Enhancing seamless scalability and high availability configuration would improve enterprise readiness.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"Right now we are encouraging our customers to use Fudo PAM because it is the only product in PAM technology that we have to offer them."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"One Identity Safeguard has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security, efficiency, and visibility."
"One Identity Safeguard has had a strong positive impact on our organization by significantly improving security, control, and accountability around privileged access."
"This solution gives them real confidence that they can keep their customers safe and their data protected."
"The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated."
"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."
"The solution transparently integrates into the infrastructure and users do not notice it. I would give this feature the highest rating."
"Over four years of use, we have not encountered a single system crash or failure, and the product is stable."
"There is ease of implementation."
 

Cons

"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The stability is not very good."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The configuration is difficult."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture."
"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."
"One feature that I feel One Identity Safeguard lacks is a robust reporting interface, as the data we get from it is not very well displayed."
"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."
"One Identity Safeguard can be improved by making the user interface more intuitive and easier to navigate, especially for new users who may find the initial experience slightly complex."
"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."
"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it. On paper when we were initially talking about it, it was definitely going to be the preferred method until we realized the burden it would be on our network guys. Then, we had to step back and reevaluate what we wanted to do. That's when we changed our approach to use the RD Gateway feature."
"I just received a question from a customer in regards to a connection with Oracle OID. I tried to integrate Safeguard with the Oracle YAML as well as something else to manage the groups and users from a different system, like AD or LDAP. This one feature could be better. At this moment, the platform system can only use the integration with LDAP or AD. The software for research and development to create a connector to a YAML platform can be very complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"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."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"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."
"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."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
