Enhanced compliance and security through detailed action recordings
We have used ARCON Privileged Access Management for recording videos of user actions taken after logging into systems. Around thirty people, including network engineers, server engineers, and application engineers, use it in the company There hasn't been a notable financial benefit for our…
Hicham Barnoussi - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For compliance, each change I do, in each of the servers, is clearly recorded. We recently faced an audit and this was an awesome feature. Even our auditor had praise for it saying, "This is really a good feature.""
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"That dashboard is okay."
"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."
"It is recording video records for Windows and command-line reports for others, Linux and AIX, of whatever activities being carries by that particular administrator."
"The deployment process for the solution was easy...The solution's technical support team was good."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."
"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have a "Favorites" list. For example, if I have 100 servers but I only go to 10 servers frequently, a Favorites list would allow me to go through those ten servers only."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets."
"There is often a slow response when logging into routers, switches, or servers compared to direct access."
"The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available."
"I'd also suggest adding a browser isolation feature to prevent cache storage on endpoints and mitigate cache-based attacks."
"Scalability could be improved."
"The usability should be expanded to other browsers like Chrome and Firefox."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
"Product management should be improved."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Product pricing is based on users and connections. We did not have to pay more for additional features."
"Their licensing model is very simple, as it is based on the number of endpoints which you want to manage along with the number of users and administrators which you want to use."
"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
"ARCON is a will give you all the features in a very cost-effective solution. Pricing and licensing is very good compared to other players in the market."
"The licensing is simple, and there are only two types licensing: device licensing and user-based licensing."
"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management's pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
