Th password vault feature has proven to be most effective for managing privileged access

One Identity Safeguard now prevents unauthorized access to servers by eliminating privileged passwords and requiring all connections to go through a PAM-authorized process. This means no one, including hackers, can access servers without explicit approval, significantly enhancing overall security. One Identity Safeguard is easy to use with a good partner to support you, and it can be up and running within a few days. We have successfully integrated One Identity Safeguard with cloud targets, and the process was straightforward. One Identity Safeguard has improved our incident response time by 300 percent.

Enhancing administration security with critical feature improvements needed

My primary use case is to make a training about Active Directory security. In my experience, I work with Bastion. I emphasize the importance of having a good knowledge of Bastion to avoid vulnerabilities It helps by providing some security features for administration, although it's crucial to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."

"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with."

"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."

"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."

"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."

"The implementation time was quick. It was basically up and running within a week."

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

"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"It needs more marketing."

"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."

"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."

"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."

"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."

"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."

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

"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."

"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."

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

"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."

"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."

"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."

"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
