Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with.""It's a good solution for managing identities under OneFile for authorization.""I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor.""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.""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.""I have found the most useful feature of One Identity Safeguard to be Privileged Sessions.""The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution.""Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering.""The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""We use the product to run different reports.""It's pretty stable as a product.""It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

More PingID Pros →

"The support is very good.""This solution is easy to configure.""Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver""The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse.""The solution is stable and reliable.""A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil.""The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good.""The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."

Cons
"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.""We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster.""The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA.""Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it. On paper when we were initially talking about it, it was definitely going to be the preferred method until we realized the burden it would be on our network guys. Then, we had to step back and reevaluate what we wanted to do. That's when we changed our approach to use the RD Gateway feature.""The GUI has room for improvement because it is confusing and cumbersome.""The interface is better now, but it still could be improved a lot. It needs more organization, menus, automatic refresh of information, and Web 2.0.""There is a lack of documentation and many problems with the plugins.""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."

More One Identity Safeguard Cons →

"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature.""The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""The product is not customizable."

More PingID Cons →

"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product.""The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit.""What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security.""The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo.""It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works.""SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper.""If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI.""Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."

There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."

    Overview

    One Identity Safeguard is an integrated system that combines a secure, toughened password safe and a session management and monitoring solution with threat detection and analytics into one integrated solution. It stores, manages, records, and analyzes privileged access in a secure manner.

    One Identity Safeguard Features

    One Identity Safeguard has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Policy-based release control: Seek access and approve privileged passwords and sessions using a secure online browser that supports mobile devices. Depending on your organization's policies, requests can be authorized immediately or require dual/multiple approvals. You can set One Identity Safeguard to match your personalized needs, whether your policies consider the requestor's identity and level of access, the time and day of the request attempt, and/or the specific resource requested. You can also enter reason codes and/or connect to ticketing systems.

    • Vault for personal passwords: In a free personal password vault, every one of your employees can keep and generate random passwords for non-federated business accounts. This allows your company to use a sanctioned tool to securely share and retrieve passwords, giving you much-needed security and visibility into your company's accounts.

    • Auditing, recording, and replaying entire sessions: All session activity is collected, indexed, and kept in tamper-proof audit trails that can be viewed like a video and searched like a database, down to the keystrokes, mouse movements, and windows viewed. Security teams can search across sessions for certain events and play the recording from the exact point where the search criterion happened. For forensics and compliance purposes, audit trails are encrypted, time-stamped, and cryptographically signed.

    • Approval in any location: Approve or refuse requests from anywhere, using One Identity Starling Two-Factor Authentication, without having to connect to a VPN.
    • Instantly on: Safeguard for Privileged Sessions can be implemented in a transparent manner, with no changes to user workflows required. Safeguard, when acting as a proxy gateway, can act as a network router, unseen to both the user and the server. Admins can continue to use their normal client programs and access target servers and systems without disrupting their everyday routine.

    • Biometrics of user behavior: Even when performing identical operations like typing or moving a mouse, each person has his or her own unique pattern of behavior. These behavioral characteristics are examined by the Safeguard algorithms. Keystroke dynamics and mouse movement analysis aid in the detection of security breaches while also acting as a continuous biometric authentication system.

    • Favorites: Right from the login screen, quickly access the passwords you use the most. You can combine many password requests into a single favorite, allowing you to log into all of your accounts with a single click.

    • Discovery options: With host, directory, and network-discovery options, you can quickly find privileged accounts or systems on your network.

    Reviews from Real Users
