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.

Utilize support for installation. They are quick to respond, and quick at getting to the bottom of issues.
Not really. When following the written instructions, it goes pretty smoothly. Sequencing of the products needed for IE: * The database * The dashboard * The licensing server. It is intuitive, but spread throughout the instruction manual. For instance, you have to change the password for the Records service, and it is on a last page. Just read through the whole manual.

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."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted us because the fear of theft of passwords or IDs has been reduced to almost zero, significantly enhancing our security."
"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."
"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."
"With One Identity Safeguard, we have seen clear, measurable improvements across security, operations, and compliance."
"Safeguard has the ability to record and retrieve in the full-video format."
"Overall, my experience with One Identity Safeguard has been very positive, as it is a reliable and secure privilege access management solution that effectively protects sensitive accounts and provides full visibility into administrator activity, with minor improvements needed in terms of UI and reporting enhancements."
"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 used the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Citrix session recording features, and have found them to be extremely valuable."
"Customer Service: Excellent; attentive, acquainted with networking environments, and seems to be genuinely interested in getting us the right solution at the right price."
 

Cons

"I think Safeguard by One Identity could be improved by making the user interface a little simpler and more intuitive, especially for new administrators."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"I have encountered scalability issues. The system needs to be properly analysed before putting it into production."
"The only thing that we are looking for is to reduce the false alarming in the system to better analyze genuine concerns."
"One feature that I feel One Identity Safeguard lacks is a robust reporting interface, as the data we get from it is not very well displayed."
"One Identity Safeguard can be improved with a more modern and intuitive interface, better troubleshooting and diagnostic tools, enhanced real-time monitoring and reporting, and stronger integration with cloud and hybrid identity platforms to simplify administration and improve operational visibility."
"The integration part seems a bit challenging because some tools cannot be integrated properly with it."
"Improving usability and simplifying configuration would be beneficial to enhance Safeguard by One Identity."
"A built in utility that alerts when connections are made, either via RDP or ICA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."
"We went with subscription licensing. It paid off big time for us as we installed the V.3, and just received V.4 without paying for the upgrade."
