Enhanced security through session monitoring and activity recording
From an end-user point of view, it would be beneficial if the system could provide information about the last login. This would help identify if the server was accessed by me or if someone has potentially stolen my credentials. It would provide a clearer picture of whether ARCON Privileged Access Management is accessed by an authentic user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One important feature is the administrator access, mainly for Windows machines as well as Linux machines. It is important for us because there is accountability associated with each user ID. And the recordings are also helpful."
"The most valuable feature of ARCON Privileged Access Management is the recording of sessions. It has all the basic features we need to fulfill our use case."
"It was very easy for us to move this application and database from on-premise to cloud, as well as configure new things, such as load balancing. The product is very compatible."
"It gives us a lot of comfort in terms of security level. Our infrastructure devices and servers are secured and nobody can have unauthorized access to them."
"The entire conversation that is happening between the servers and the client is recorded. It is a good feature if you want to do some analysis, and for investigation."
"The deployment process for the solution was easy...The solution's technical support team was good."
"The most valuable feature is it is easy to use and the interface is intuitive."
"One of the main benefits we've experienced is that Arcon helps us manage all our team's tasks and provides recording capabilities."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
 

Cons

"Managing users is difficult, so that is something that can be improved."
"The product is browser dependent. As of now, it only works on Internet Explorer from the client side. Admins cannot use any other browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) to access the client manager online."
"Initially, there were some issues with .NET applications in Windows 10 systems."
"A few areas for improvement in ARCON would be performance optimization, ensuring smoother management."
"If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The auto-password change feature which was recently added. It is supposed to change the password. However, in some cases, while changing the password, it has caused me to lose to connection due to network-related issues or something similar. What we need to have is a type of log for failure of password change."
"Hazard flow could be improved, the data compliance portion."
"Currently, along with the upgrade of the ARCON solution, we have to consider the desktops and the endpoints from where the solution will have to be accessed. We have to upgrade those endpoints and desktops as well. So upgrades are not smooth."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
"The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
"Product pricing is based on users and connections. We did not have to pay more for additional features."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."

It depends on the weightage of the granular features you are looking for in your PAM solution. Do you need a PAM solution across your network devices, servers & even endpoints?
