"The solution transparently integrates into the infrastructure and users do not notice it. I would give this feature the highest rating."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"The identity discovery is good, and the performance is pretty good value."
"It's a good solution for managing identities under OneFile for authorization."
"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."
"Stability is solid as a rock."
"It's easy to use and easy to configure."
"It will provide us with more security."
"It gives you list of servers, so you can see which users have access to which servers. This is really useful, so we can make sure nobody is getting extra access than what is needed."
"It is great for identity governance."
"Comprehensive coverage of the required features for the PAM solution."
"CA PAM is working well for us."
"We found that the architecture is scalable and very resilient."
"The SPS could be a lot easier to administrate and the parts should be unified, from a design perspective, so that I can recognize the systems as being part of the same package. They feel like they have been forced together."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"Support for One Identity Safeguard could be improved because sometimes the support team doesn't have an answer or solution for some bugs. A feature I found in a competitor would make One Identity Safeguard better, and that is the ability to load balance the traffic in the target."
"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."
"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."
"They need to do a little bit more on the mainframe side."
"Bring more technology into the portfolio and being able to collapse those products into a much more integrated way."
"The response time for support could be faster. Some features should be added: cloud-based, VPN-less, more secure, and it should be adjusted in a hybrid environment."
"I would like this solution to be simpler. It should have a one-click access that works together with AWS."
"It'd be great if you just stuck in your PIV card and Windows popped up, asked you for your password. You typed it in, then it remembered your credentials."
"An improvement for this solution is that it should not be constantly based on user name and password. There should be a condition to edit and update your username."
"What I hope happens with the new product CA PAM is to keep all the useful features that exist in PA, but what I’ve noticed with many new products is the UI gets polished but systems lags stability and performance or it adds additional complexity instead of simplifying the user experience."
"We have to do a lot of manual work to automate features."
