We performed a comparison between One Identity Safeguard and WALLIX Bastion 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.
"It's a good solution for managing identities under OneFile for authorization."
"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"All sessions are audited and they are indexed/searchable through the GUI."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"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."
"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"The main point regarding the user experience is that Safeguard has two separate management consoles."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"From a usability perspective, what we are finding out is that our privileged domain admin users, in particular, want functionality for extending a checkout session. So we are working with One Identity support to see if there's an enhancement that can be made to the product."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"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 password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
