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.

There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The notification alert feature where the network admin gets notified of probable malicious activity is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"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."
"Video and audio logs are there for any activities that the privileged admin carries out."
"One of the main benefits we've experienced is that Arcon helps us manage all our team's tasks and provides recording capabilities."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate ARCON Privileged Access Management nine out of ten."
"Recording all videos of commands entered into devices is highly valuable."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."

Cons

"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."
"Anti-bridging should be built into product."
"We would like to see support for privileged accounts used in web-based systems like Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway, VMware ESXI management tools, etc."
"Sometimes it gets stuck between servers and I would like to see this improved in the future."
"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"They they should focus on support. The support needs to be very strong. Since the product is becoming stronger, their support team also should be equally strong. They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set. Their support team should be more technical, to understand the issue or the set up."
"I would like for it to be dependent on Windows as opposed to Linux."
"For the in-house built applications, they need to provide good, solid access through their portal."
"The stability is not very good."

"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."

"I definitely feel the product's pricing is a good value. It is one of the best products we have. The licensing is server-based."
"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"The licensing is simple, and there are only two types licensing: device licensing and user-based licensing."
