We restrict access to specific users. When users access, we record the sessions, and people are aware that the sessions are being recorded. The tool requires very low maintenance and can build a resilient environment. However, sometimes, some weird stuff happens because of probably some updates as it's running on a Linux kernel. The solution's reporting is fine but not great. For its reporting and alerting features, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. I would recommend WALLIX Bastion to people who want to restrict access. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Room for Improvement

Multi-factor authentication and unified licensing are needed for a clearer pricing model. Performance optimization for the password manager and resource usage can enhance efficiency.

A more intuitive password rotation and differentiated interfaces for admins and users are necessary for better usability and security.
