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.

Centralized access has strengthened security and simplified day-to-day infrastructure operations

Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration. Beyond onboarding and RBAC complexity, there are areas that could be enhanced from an integration perspective. While SSO integration works well, deeper out-of-the-box integrations with SIEM and monitoring tools would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is an extremely stable product."

"By comparison, Safeguard is much better in terms of performance, networking, and server stability."

"There is ease of implementation. Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view."

"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."

"The most unique and valuable features are the upstream and downstream throughput capacities; the Safeguard platform provides agile integration. In actuality, all the features are valuable. They're good, user-friendly."

"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by providing strong security, compliance, and the data required for audits, making it really helpful."

"It was super easy to deploy, not complicated, and did not have the hidden Capex that competitors do!"

"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."

"The best features include its main capabilities such as collecting actions and showing others what you did on the server, an easy way to connect to any bare-metal servers, and the ability to describe which servers you can use and who can connect to these servers."

"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."

"Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."

"Teleport definitely reduced the risks; we are no longer exposing root-level accounts for people that are meant to have an elevated account."

"Teleport has positively impacted my organization by being very helpful for productivity and team collaboration, especially since the old tool we used took a lot of time to get approvals."

"Regarding how Teleport has positively impacted my organization, I have learned a lot of things through it, I understand how to deliver and receive content, and I have learned many things related to RF signals where we lose packets."

"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."

More Teleport pros

Cons

"From a management point of view, it would be beneficial if One Identity Safeguard Privilege Password and One Identity Safeguard Privilege Session had a more similar interface."

"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."

"Now, I think the best way to improve it will be to optimize the software, because the software begins to consume more resources (physical)."

"It takes some time to understand the features of One Identity Safeguard, and it would be more useful if it was easier to set up."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."

"VMware PCoIP protocol support: Many customers are switching from normal computers/environment to VDI infrastructure and some of them are switching to VMware Horizon that uses PCoIP protocol, which is not supported right now."

"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."

"Sometimes our devices do not reflect the error, and then we work on why it is not showing any alarm or issue, even though we experience distortion or issues on the TS."

"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."

"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."

"I think it should have less complexity to set up on self-hosted because it is still a difficult process and I spend a lot of time using it on self-host."

"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."

More Teleport cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

"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."

"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."

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
