We performed a comparison between ARCON Privileged Access Management and One Identity Safeguard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One important feature is the administrator access, mainly for Windows machines as well as Linux machines. It is important for us because there is accountability associated with each user ID. And the recordings are also helpful."
"The initial setup was very simple. There was only one server we had to setup. We needed to store all the passwords, and a secure database is used."
"The video logs help us to identify any misuse of privileged accounts."
"The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily."
"After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity."
"For compliance, each change I do, in each of the servers, is clearly recorded. We recently faced an audit and this was an awesome feature. Even our auditor had praise for it saying, "This is really a good feature.""
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"Session recording is the most valuable feature, as it covers compliance and it also covers our in-house applications."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"The technical support is tremendous."
"One of the most important things is that it is very easy to use and install. It is also agentless, so all of the operations happen more smoothly than any other product."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"I like Safeguard's snapshot feature that enables us to review the last time an application was opened and by whom. If there are any issues, we can look behind the scenes to see what has been done. We can suspend a user's access or close off a server."
"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. The rollout for our users is seamless."
"The system is easy to manage, as it is not a system that you will change everything all of a sudden. It evolves most of the time with customer requests."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"A few areas for improvement in ARCON would be performance optimization, ensuring smoother management."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"I would like for it to be dependent on Windows as opposed to Linux."
"We would like to see support for privileged accounts used in web-based systems like Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway, VMware ESXI management tools, etc."
"Sometimes it gets stuck between servers and I would like to see this improved in the future."
"Currently, we can manage only the SSH or RDP connections, but there are many more devices that are present, apart from our SSH and RDP. We want all this to be part of the ARCON solution. For the password management, they should increase the pool of supported devices, they should have more connectors."
"There are no APIs readily available... I'm working on automation for ARCON so that whatever the ARCON administrator is doing will be automated, rather than having to do it manually. For that, I had to spend months to get the API developed myself. Having that handy out of the box, that would really help..."
"It should support the SQL Always On platform with FQDN name instead of IP."
"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."
"I just received a question from a customer in regards to a connection with Oracle OID. I tried to integrate Safeguard with the Oracle YAML as well as something else to manage the groups and users from a different system, like AD or LDAP. This one feature could be better. At this moment, the platform system can only use the integration with LDAP or AD. The software for research and development to create a connector to a YAML platform can be very complicated."
"The product uses a lot of resources in current sessions."
"Some of our users find the functionality a bit complex, and it could be made more user-friendly."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
"The GUI has room for improvement because it is confusing and cumbersome."
"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."
