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.

Positive feedback highlights lightweight design and compatibility while suggesting more AI integration
I think Silverfort is actually a really good product. Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools. It checks your Active Directory authentication and continues only if the check is okay, plus it works with older protocols such as NTLM, which is a significant advantage. The product is fairly new, but it's great; it's lightweight and agent-based, acting as a bridge between your Active Directory and any other application, with no impact on the applications. Silverfort is one of the few vendors that offers a free POC, and usually the customer ends up taking it, as they've lost very few deals in this manner. It's complementary to other tools you may have, whether they are TAM solutions such as Delinea or Xerox. Silverfort also has a lightweight adapter for domain controllers, and it finds gaps in security. Its capabilities are expanding regularly, with new features voted on every few months. For companies with large Active Directory implementations and zero staff, Silverfort provides instant results in identifying risks and blind spots. It also includes built-in virtual features, and while I don't know the exact pricing, it's not expensively priced, making it an attractive option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature One Identity Safeguard offers is that it is a pretty new, modern tool that makes extensive use of its API."
"One Identity Safeguard has improved our organization's security posture by providing centralized privileged access management, secure password vaulting, and session monitoring."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"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."
"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."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"We were able to take an environment where we had several hosts managed by different people and consolidate that into a single, centrally managed solution."
"We have saved approximately thirty to forty percent of our time, and our team is spending more time on critical issues rather than managing passwords."
"Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools."
 

Cons

"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."
"One Identity Safeguard is a strong PAM solution, but there are some areas for improvement."
"I have encountered scalability issues. The system needs to be properly analysed before putting it into production."
"The GUI has room for improvement because it is confusing and cumbersome."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"The high availability function of the box itself requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another, so there is room for improvement."
"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."
"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."
"If Silverfort could integrate a gentle type of AI similar to Microsoft Copilot or enable workflow creation similar to Salesforce, it would further improve user navigation, even though the platform is already simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
