Beneficial AI detection, helpful support, but modern UI needed
The initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System requires a bunch of steps starting with installing the hardware and setting it up. However, most of the setup is done by the vendor. I rate the initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System an eight out of ten. The vendor provides free training in the software provided.

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

"One or two people can maintain and support the solution. The maintenance is not difficult."
"The most valuable features of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System are the AI detection and monitoring of common threats."
"But otherwise, I think it is a good product and a good buy."
"We have limited the possibilities for malicious actions and have made it safer for our users when they are using privileged accounts."
"The most interesting thing about this product is it is very easy to implement and configure as well as its usability."
"My advice to others is One Identity Safeguard is a must to have because it's part of the cybersecurity framework, such as Nest ISO."
"This solution gives them real confidence that they can keep their customers safe and their data protected."
"Now, once they are logged into the organization and are registered on our ERP system, their complete access will be ready within five seconds, and they will receive an SMS with their username and password so they can start working, which has increased efficiency and effectiveness of the access control function and reduced operational costs while providing services 24/7 on a platform that can be used anytime and anywhere for investigation."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by providing strong security, compliance, and the data required for audits, making it really helpful."
"Over four years of use, we have not encountered a single system crash or failure, and the product is stable."
 

Cons

"The UI dashboard view needs to be improved because it is ugly. If it was more modern it would be better. Additionally, better integration with other databases would be good."
"Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System can improve by having more anti-spam features that will hopefully eliminate all of the other threats."
"I think Safeguard by One Identity could be improved by making the user interface a little simpler and more intuitive, especially for new administrators."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"Support can be improved in terms of response times and consistency. Sometimes resolving complex issues takes longer than expected and requires multiple follow-ups."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
"One Identity Safeguard could be improved by simplifying the user interface and initial configuration process, especially for first-time users."
"One Identity Safeguard can be improved in areas such as UI modernization."
"Documentation can be much better and they should provide typical use cases to get started more easily."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is good. It is less expensive than the other solutions in the market. There are not any additional features or hidden costs."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"Its subscription cost is too much, and sometimes, it is very difficult to pitch the solution to the management for cost approval. If the cost is reduced a little bit, it would be easier. If its cost was less, many other organizations that currently cannot afford it would be able to use this technology. I'm sure many organizations around the globe are having issues with identity management, and it is a very difficult task for IT to manage privileged accounts."
