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 privileged access has improved control and now supports secure vendor billing oversight
The transparent mode is a seamless approach when using it. We have some issues with it, but we are working on it to make it work for us. Managing remote access for privileged users with the secure remote access feature is both easy and hard depending on the scenario we face. We have some systems that are easy and take not even a minute to set up, while others take a bit longer. We are in the middle of integrating One Identity Safeguard with the IGA solution, Identity Manager. We have some A2A setups, but it is not optimal. We are using RPA for developers, not actually RPA accounts, but that is something we are working on. We are also using the service account password rotation on the asset to some degree, and we are exploring options there. For integrating One Identity Safeguard, figuring out how password rotation works is a bit difficult because we have to make custom integrations. After that, it was no problem really. For the A2A use, it is not as easy as using something like HashiCorp's password management tools. It is mostly for certain features in One Identity Safeguard that I would like some improvements. Some of the things you can do in entitlements, there is a lot you can do there, but not everything is optimal. You have to have duplicates of a lot of things to make it work the way you want.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"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."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Two-factor authentication has saved us from a couple of brute force attacks on a couple of our C-level executives."
"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."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"We use the Approval Anywhere, or cloud assistant feature and it is great. It enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time to the approval process."
"The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated."
"Implementing this solution, we have reduced privileged account-related incidents by thirty percent, and we have also cut manual password management time by nearly fifty to sixty percent, while just-in-time access has sped up admin task completion and improved our overall compliance reporting, allowing audits to be completed nearly half the time compared to earlier."
"Since using One Identity Safeguard, we have more control over who accesses what, especially regarding vendors, and we have seen billing actually go down because we now know how long vendors have been on the server and how long they have worked on it."
 

Cons

"The configuration is difficult."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"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 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."
"One Identity Safeguard could be improved by simplifying the user interface and initial configuration process, especially for first-time users."
"It is a good solution, but it needs more marketing."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."
"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."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"The only part of the Safeguard solution that I think could be a problem over time is the amount of storage it takes in the sessions."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
