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…

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

"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."
"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 user interface, overall, is really good. If I have some 20 servers in my ID, I can easily see for which servers I have read-only access, for which servers I have prompt-access, and for which servers I have server admin access."
"Overall, I would rate ARCON Privileged Access Management nine out of ten."
"100% compliant and you don't have to maintain ID management for each and every user."
"The notification alert feature where the network admin gets notified of probable malicious activity is the most valuable feature."
"The deployment process for the solution was easy...The solution's technical support team was good."
"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

"This product is lacking in terms of dashboarding analytics and should have user behavior analytics. It should also have better dashboarding for executive management and security managers, which this product is missing."
"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."
"The solution needs more work on the password management side of things. Password management is a big challenge for us, and I would like to improve this aspect. We're finding that BeyondTrust is better in this regard, which is why we're probably going to migrate over. It will offer better security I think."
"If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I suggest implementing password rotation for service-based accounts, as that should be included."
"One common problem I faced with ARCON PAM was compatibility issues with certain software versions."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"We expect improvement in the dashboards to provide visibility of password compliance status, whenever a password is opened from the vault. Also, flexibility to customize the live dashboard."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"Product management should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
"The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
"Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
"The licensing is simple, and there are only two types licensing: device licensing and user-based licensing."
"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."
