Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The correlation engine is good."
"The features I have found most valuable are its capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"The stability of the solution is perfect."
"This is a very stable solution. It is the most stable ESM that I have worked with."
"Safeguard is a next-generation tool when it comes to privileged access management."
"The most interesting thing about this product is it is very easy to implement and configure as well as its usability."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"We use the solution’s Approval Anywhere feature which enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time-consuming approval processes. By using this platform, if someone goes on a vacation, out of office, or needs urgent/planned leave, then our setup will select the functions tied to that person and automatically delegate them to the next person. That person can start performing that duty based on their access. No sharing of passwords is required."
"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."
"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."
"Integration of One Identity Safeguard has positively affected our operations by centralizing authentication across Linux and Unix, reducing manual account management, and simplifying user access control through Active Directory integration."
"One Identity Safeguard has positively impacted our organization by contributing to a significant drop in compliance and audit overhead, aiding in the preparation of security audits that were previously chaotic, making the process much simpler now, and improving operational efficiency and admin satisfaction."
 

Cons

"You can use this solution for limited use cases. But for more advanced use cases, there are other solutions which are better than ArcSight."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"The ArcSight Analytic is not so easy."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"The UX for the SOC analyst does not match that of the competitors, and therefore needs improvement."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"Their support team could be better."
"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."
"Reporting and dashboard customization with One Identity Safeguard should be better improved."
"While One Identity Safeguard is a strong privilege access management solution, there are some areas where improvements can be made."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it."
"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."
"Our experience with technical support has been disappointing. We require more prompt and faster response times. We require answers to our questions right away but we haven't received that level of support."
"We sometimes face issues with configuration and things like that, but we manage to solve them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"This solution is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"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."
"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 pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"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."
"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."
