Remote session recording enhances server access tracking while dashboard needs improvement
PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes. The automation system is very smart, although its interface is not as sophisticated as those of Dynatrace or FortiFEM. A critical advantage is its flexibility and security, providing stability across our client interactions.
Mahesh Malve - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

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

Pros

"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"We can use it remotely as well."
"My advice would be, if you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."
"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"The incidents of password theft have reduced by around forty percent, which has been a very good result from using One Identity Safeguard for our organization and is a great benefit for us."
"The integration of One Identity Safeguard has had a clear positive impact on both security and operational efficiency, with earlier estimates showing thirty to forty percent fewer password-related tickets and fifty percent faster audit preparation, along with reducing risk and eliminating shared credentials."
"The initial setup of One Identity Safeguard was simple."
"It was super easy to deploy, not complicated, and did not have the hidden Capex that competitors do!"
"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."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"I have seen a clear return on investment with One Identity Safeguard, reducing manual effort for access management by around thirty to forty percent, decreasing audit preparation time by nearly fifty percent, and lowering the risks of costly incidents through improved security controls."
"I have found the most useful feature of One Identity Safeguard to be Privileged Sessions."
 

Cons

"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."
"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."
"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."
"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"Even though we have two nodes, there's no way to do an upgrade without taking everything completely offline. It would be nice if they could improve that."
"One area for improvement in One Identity Safeguard would be reporting and dashboard customization; while the platform provides useful information, having more flexible and easier-to-customize reports would help with administration and gaining insights more quickly."
"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."
"I find it complicated to implement HTTPS monitoring because the documentation is unclear."
"There is room for improvement in One Identity Safeguard in several areas."
"The customer support for One Identity Safeguard was not very good and definitely needs to be improved."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."
"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"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."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"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."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
"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."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
