We performed a comparison between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager 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."I appreciate the ease of use for support analysts."
"It supports lots of requirements in the privileged access management area."
"CyberArk is not just an IT security or cybersecurity tool. It's also an administrator tool. I had a fair number of systems where the passwords were not fully managed by CyberArk yet, and they were expiring every 30 or 45 days. I was able to get management turned on for those accounts. From an administrator perspective, I didn't have to go back into those systems and manually change those passwords anymore. CyberArk... lightened the load on our administrative work."
"The solution is scalable."
"Helped us meet our standards and requirements to help us comply with industry standards and banking regulations."
"We like it for the ability to automatically change passwords. At least for my group, that's the best thing."
"When we started with RPA, there was a requirement that every credential and the bots themselves be protected through the PAM system. From the get-go, we've had CyberArk in the middle... We've got a pretty robust RPA implementation with our PAM platform. Users, bots, the credentials — everything is managed via our PAM solution."
"With CyberArk, you can be fully confident that your existing accounts are secure. You will be 100 percent"
"The most unique and valuable features are the upstream and downstream throughput capacities; the Safeguard platform provides agile integration. In actuality, all the features are valuable. They're good, user-friendly."
"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."
"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."
"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."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"There are a lot of features, so it's going to sound funny, but one of the most simplistic features, the Favorites feature, is the one we like the best. You do a full run-through of configuration to check out a server and then you can save that whole configuration as a favorite. So the next time you go in, you click on the favorite that you configured and it automatically takes you to the end so you can check the server out that much faster. It saves a lot of time..."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"The interface on version 9 looks old."
"I would like to see better usability for non-technical people."
"New functionalities and discovered bugs take longer to patch. We would greatly appreciate quicker development of security patches and bug corrections."
"The product is very vaulting-focused. I'd love to see it expanding its capabilities a bit further into areas like just-in-time elevation, and access with non-vaulted credentials."
"It should be easy to use for non-technical people. Its interface can be a bit difficult. Some parts of its interface are not very intuitive. Some of the controls are hidden, and instead of having a screen with all the controls for that account on it, you have to use menus and other similar things."
"The support services could act faster when people reach out to resolve issues."
"Sometimes the infrastructure team is hesitant to provide more resources."
"It needs better documentation with more examples for the configuration files and API/REST integration"
"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."
"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"The deployment affects our privileged users because it takes a long time for them to request privileges, which impacts the SLA."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."

Hello Avinash, it all depends on the timeline and urgency of the project. If you need to deploy a PAM tool that focuses on standing privileges, stopping lateral movement, and incorporating Zero Standing Privileges as part of Zero Trust, then please consider looking at Remediant. I've worked for BeyondTrust and have gone up against the other big players such as Delinea, Centrify, CyberArk, and HashiCorp. They more or less all offer similar solutions, but looking at your current requirements, Remediant really excels in delivering a simple, yet very effective tool in a matter of days and weeks, not months and years.
