One Identity Safeguard is priced at a premium level, typical for enterprise-grade privilege access management solutions. The licensing is generally based on the number of privileged accounts, users, or appliances, depending on the deployment model and components used. The initial setup cost includes the appliance cost, implementation efforts, and integration with existing systems, such as Active Directory and other infrastructure components.
One Identity Safeguard has a competitive setup cost, and the pricing is competitive.My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for One Identity Safeguard is that the pricing is very competitive.
Our experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was reasonable for an enterprise-grade PAM solution, though it does require a notable initial investment. The licensing model is fairly structured, typically based on the number of users, assets, or sessions being managed. It is flexible enough to scale as the organization grows, but it is important to plan properly to optimize cost. In terms of setup cost, the main investment was around implementation, integration, and initial configuration. Since we deployed in a hybrid environment, there was some additional effort involved, but nothing unexpected for a solution of this scale.
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing are not the cheapest, but they offer strong security features that justify the cost. The license is usually based on the number of user accounts, which is straightforward to understand, and the setup cost is good and reasonable.

Pricing for One Identity Safeguard was on the higher side but justified by the security features. Setup cost was manageable and licensing is typically subscription-based per appliance or capacity, which makes it easier to scale but can add up in larger environments.
Our experience with the pricing and licensing of One Identity Safeguard was moderate. The solution is not the cheapest, but it offers strong security features, so the cost is justified. Licensing is usually based on the number of users or accounts, which is straightforward to understand.
My experience with the pricing and licensing of One Identity Safeguard was reasonable considering the value it delivers. Regarding pricing, it may appear slightly on the higher side initially compared to some alternatives, but when we evaluate it against the security benefits, compliance support, and risk reduction, it proves to be cost-effective in the long run. Regarding the licensing model, it is typically based on the number of users, privileged accounts, or appliances, which is quite flexible. It allowed us to scale as per our requirement rather than making a heavy upfront commitment. Regarding setup cost, since we opted for virtual appliances, the setup cost was relatively lower. No major hardware investment was required. Most of the effort was around implementation and integration, which was manageable.
One Identity Safeguard is positioned as an enterprise-grade solution, so the license is not the cheapest in the market, but it reflects the value and security capabilities provided. Initial deployment costs were moderate, mostly tied to planning, virtual appliance resources, and some consulting support for policy configuration. There were no hidden costs beyond the standard licensing and support.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been a good experience overall, as the back and forth with One Identity is something that is acceptable; other tools have options to do this automatically, and they have it, but pricing, presales, and sales is acceptable overall.
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of One Identity Safeguard is that pricing is good, especially in the long term, as it's way better than CyberArk's, and the other costs are relatively similar.

The pricing of One Identity Safeguard is fairly priced and cheaper than other solutions of the same enterprise level. It provides a good cost-benefit ratio.
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. Usually, they start at one price, and when you start pricing the competition, you typically get a bit of a discount or more favorable payment terms. For example, you might not have to pay until you've enrolled all the users. You don't have to pay upfront for all people in the organization until they've been enrolled. There are also integration costs and migration costs. That's the big one.

One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale. Licensing fees increase as we expand, as does the cost of basic support, which allows us to open tickets. Additionally, we must pay to update outdated appliances.

I believe we have a five-year deal in place, and it's an all-you-can-eat license. It's not user-based. We also pay our implementation partner. We have a support deal set up with them, so that's a cost we have added on. But it's not applied to the Safeguard bill. The advisory role that they provide us is something that we decided we need.

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.

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.

The approximate cost on a yearly basis is in the ballpark of about 80 grand, $80,000. That is for about 100 servers. That is the standard license fee. There are not really any additional costs once you purchase that. Sometimes you can have professional services included with it. For example, if you take a week of professional services or if you need them to do the install. That is the only additional charge.

Licensing and pricing are quite straightforward. The number of recording channel licenses depends on the needs of the customer. I would suggest estimating the number of concurrent sessions per unit of time and proceed from there when purchasing a license.

They offer a fair price for a robust solution. In addition to the standard licensing fees there are costs for Starling, but they're very minimal annually. You need Starling to use the mobile Approval Anywhere feature that is so convenient. So it's worth every dime. That extra cost is so small that it's not really even noticeable. There are integration costs if you aren't looking to do it yourself. I highly recommend their integrators. They are a little expensive but certainly worth the money.

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.

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. There are other additional costs for some training on their other products because Identity manager can get very involved. Once we got the products and licensing setup, everything else since then has been cake. I don't think we have been spending a whole bunch of money.
