Offers high availability and enables end users to deploy the solution with 99.999 percent uptime
The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles. Both are web-based user interfaces, specifically HTML-based. However, they are completely distinct consoles. It would be preferable to have a single management console or tool instead. This would allow for a unified point of connection to all nodes, enabling the management and creation of policies, connection requests, and other related tasks. What I saw and heard from the customers is the control functionality of the HTTP session. Nowadays, there are numerous blind spots in the current organization of HTTP session control functionality. It should be addressed in the latest version, as some competitors already offer unrestricted functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"It is user-friendly. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."
"The technical support is tremendous."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."
"The identity discovery is good, and the performance is pretty good value."
"It offers high availability and enables end users to deploy the solution with 99.999 percent uptime, which is crucial in an enterprise environment with a large number of endpoints."
"The first feature I like about One Identity Safeguard is the live contact point for the VPNs. This has been working very well for us, as it's both highly available and reliable."
"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."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."
"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"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."
"There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins."
"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."
"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."
"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."
"We have issues using Safeguard to connect to and record from the cloud. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"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."
"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."
"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 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."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
