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.

Centralized access control has strengthened least privilege and streamlined audit compliance

The best features Veza offers in my experience are access visibility to see who can access what and which parts, relationship mapping of a user to roles, policies and resources, and risk detection such as over-permission and unused permission privileges. I can perform audit compliance using those features and the platform supports multiple platforms. Out of those features, I find risk detection to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work because I can check who has over-permission or unused permissions and understand relationship mapping and access visibility. Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization. We are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."

"One Identity Safeguard had a positive impact mainly in improving privilege access control, operational accountability, and audit readiness."

"We use the solution’s “transparent mode” feature for privileged sessions; it is very easy because it is only a simple configuration for our users, we don't have to modify our network, we install it, configure it, and it works, so it is super easy, and the rollout for our users is seamless."

"The technical support is tremendous."

"Regarding the usability and functionality, the UI is quite intuitive and simple to handle for new users."

"Technical support is brilliant."

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

"I achieved a good ROI with One Identity Safeguard through approximately thirty to forty percent reduction in manual user management effort, fewer password and local account issues, faster access management, and improved audit and compliance efficiency, which saved administrative time and improved security operations."

More Safeguard by One Identity pros

"Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization, and we are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure."

"It's the only current GRC vendor with licensing rights for HITRUST 11.3 framework, and I've avoided expensive HITRUST licensing costs through a custom control framework."

Cons

"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."

"Reporting and dashboard customization with One Identity Safeguard should be better improved."

"Support can be improved in terms of response times and consistency. Sometimes resolving complex issues takes longer than expected and requires multiple follow-ups."

"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."

"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the launch module."

"One Identity Safeguard could be improved with a more user-friendly interface and simpler initial setup, as the learning curve can be somewhat steep."

More Safeguard by One Identity cons

"Veza can be improved as it is currently not suitable for small projects due to its high cost, complex setup, and requirement for more integration with multiple systems."

"The support experience could be better."

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."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

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

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

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

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

"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."
