Easy to install but needs to provide better server management and organization
I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server. Working with 100 or 200 server installations is comfortable, but not thousands. The scalability isn't very good because it's complicated. I would like more organization. For instance, they could add a table that matches an account to many servers at once. There could also be better education services. They don't have any certification program, at least in Ukraine, so the training is complicated and divided into different pieces. Cisco, for example, has a great education program that starts from the basics and progresses to advanced features.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"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."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"The whole product solves the privileged access management challenge for our company. We have a secure tunnel, a secure session manager, and automatic logging of sessions, which is good for forensic purposes. We have a rich level of logs and can trace what happened on which machine and see who did what."
"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."
"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."
"The Transparent Mode is the number one advantage of the product."
"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."
"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."
"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."
"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."
 

Cons

"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The stability is not very good."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The configuration is difficult."
"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."
"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"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 sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"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 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."
"We have a yearly license. The cost depends on how much a company wants to invest in technology. In our organization, we believe in modern digitization and automation processes so we found it affordable. One Identity was not that much less than other solutions and it is not a cheap solution. There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."
