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.

Positive feedback highlights lightweight design and compatibility while suggesting more AI integration
Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools. It checks your Active Directory authentication and continues only if the check is okay, plus it works with older protocols such as NTLM, which is a significant advantage. It's complementary to other tools you may have, whether they are TAM solutions such as Delinea or Xerox. Silverfort also has a lightweight adapter for domain controllers, and it finds gaps in security. Its capabilities are expanding regularly, with new features voted on every few months. For companies with large Active Directory implementations and zero staff, Silverfort provides instant results in identifying risks and blind spots. It also includes built-in virtual features, and while I don't know the exact pricing, it's not expensively priced, making it an attractive option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, aside from the lack of password management, this solution is the best."
"This product has helped us to protect privileged accounts and comply with password policies for privileged accounts."
"The technical support is excellent."
"For our requirements, this is the best product out there."
"It has really helped us a lot."
"One standout feature of ARCON is its ability to resolve lagging issues, especially noticeable in Linux environments."
"With the Password Vault of ARCON, all these processes are automated, the credentials are changed as per the schedule, the information is encrypted, kept in our vault, and sent to all the email addresses within the ARCON solution itself."
"The deployment process for the solution was easy...The solution's technical support team was good."
"Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools."
 

Cons

"Anti-bridging should be built into product."
"They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set."
"There are no APIs readily available... I'm working on automation for ARCON so that whatever the ARCON administrator is doing will be automated, rather than having to do it manually. For that, I had to spend months to get the API developed myself. Having that handy out of the box, that would really help..."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management is not a user-friendly solution, and the application flow from one screen to another is very complex."
"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."
"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 auto-password change feature which was recently added is supposed to change the password, however, in some cases, while changing the password, it has caused me to lose connection due to network-related issues or something similar."
"Initially, there were some issues with .NET applications in Windows 10 systems."
"If Silverfort could integrate a gentle type of AI similar to Microsoft Copilot or enable workflow creation similar to Salesforce, it would further improve user navigation, even though the platform is already simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is good value for our business. According to me, their competitors are more costly. Therefore, it is quite affordable. I find the ARCON to be much cheaper than the other products in the market."
"The solution’s pricing is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
"The licensing is simple, and there are only two types licensing: device licensing and user-based licensing."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
