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.

With a great support team and stability, the tool also offers scalability to its users
The initial setup was easy. One just needs to write the initial configuration. Then, in senhasegura's cloud applications, you can use it. I just deploy it in PoC environments or demo environments and not for production. Hence, it takes much less time than I imagine when comparing its deployment in production. I think it can be deployed in two or three days. My company has partnered with senhasegura. We just downloaded the main machine for virtual use. Then, we get the key to install it. Before, you just need to try the general configuration. Then, you will have the web applications ready. Then, you can just discover the accounts or any devices that you want to manage the accounts and manage the credentials.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for others looking into using One Identity Safeguard is that it is a great solution for simple tasks, with a good price and good functionality."
"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."
"One Identity Safeguard has improved security a lot by controlling privileged access, and it also reduced risks since all sensitive activities are monitored and logged."
"Two-factor authentication has saved us from a couple of brute force attacks on a couple of our C-level executives."
"From my experience, the features are best for monitoring and the usage of LDAP and SSH."
"By comparison, Safeguard is much better in terms of performance, networking, and server stability."
"The Transparent Mode is the number one advantage of the product."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"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."
"One Identity Safeguard could be improved by providing a unified management experience, as historically it has been split into logical units, and it would be beneficial if they could provide out-of-the-box reports and visualization, addressing the high resource overhead for privileged analytics."
"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."
"The only thing that we are looking for is to reduce the false alarming in the system to better analyze genuine concerns."
"We have issues using Safeguard to record http/https connection in a video format. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"Unfortunately, my experience with Safeguard by One Identity's customer support is not very positive. They tend to respond slowly, generally do not find solutions effectively, and it is challenging to request calls that could resolve issues more quickly."
"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting isn't that rich. We spoke to our Safeguard reps who have acknowledged that some of the reporting features can certainly be improved and that we're not the only customer who has cited this. There are very little out-of-the-box reporting capabilities. You have to build the queries and the report. I believe in the next release they're going to be addressing this."
"In Linux credential discovery was a bit hard, but after Senhasegura's latest update, it is much easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is around $3,000 per month."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
