Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"That dashboard is okay."
"The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily."
"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."
"With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds."
"The video logs help us to identify any misuse of privileged accounts."
"Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten."
"After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"A few areas for improvement in ARCON would be performance optimization, ensuring smoother management."
"It should support the SQL Always On platform with FQDN name instead of IP."
"Sometimes it gets stuck between servers and I would like to see this improved in the future."
"One common problem I faced with ARCON PAM was compatibility issues with certain software versions."
"Hazard flow could be improved, the data compliance portion."
"Bulk password automation is not available in ARCON when compared to other products."
"For the in-house built applications, they need to provide good, solid access through their portal."
"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."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
