Helps us secure viewing of customer accounts; scalability streamlines production of large reports
You can control who views what, as far as security is concerned, in viewing customer accounts. I'm not sure if that was available in the product at the beginning, but we use it extensively now. Also expandability. It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along.

Yazan Albaw - PeerSpot reviewer
Passportal centralizes and securely manages client credentials and sensitive information, enhancing both security and efficiency.
Passportal offers the capability to automatically rotate passwords, allowing users to set customizable policies for expiration dates and password strength. You can define requirements for the number of letters, symbols, numbers, and case sensitivity, and the system will generate passwords accordingly. Policies can be updated as needed to maintain security. As a comprehensive password and information management solution, Passportal supports the addition of assets, licensing details, SSL certificates, domains, articles, and documents. When referring to adding assets, this means documenting relevant information, not monitoring them. For example, when we onboard a new engineer responsible for managing clients, we create a user profile for them in Passportal and grant access to the pertinent client information. This centralized access ensures they have all necessary details in one place, streamlining their workflow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We standardized our CIS log processing with CA View. We support a whole bunch of LPARs, about 80 or so. When we go to an LPAR, we know just where the CIS log is, it's in CA View, and we know how to get to it, we don't have to search around for it."
"It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along."
"The most valuable feature of the N-able Passportal is its functionality. You can store your passwords safely, and not just anyone can gain access to them. If you have an onsite system, it can change the password for you on a daily basis. This is a great benefit because you don't have to worry about if the account's breached tomorrow, your pass is going to be changed. It's perfect."
"The most valuable features of the N-able Passportal are the password rotations, and the ability to be able to store passwords. You can have it on your phone or your desktop. You're not required to have it only on your desktop computer."
"Passportal also helps manage assets. You can add information about your infrastructure, like routers, including model numbers, operating systems, expiration dates, and licensing."
 

Cons

"I believe they do probably have a GUI interface for the laptop, so you can just use the interface instead of the mainframe ISPF interface. I think that's already available but, if not, that would be my only issue."
"There was one customer we were trying convert over, and it was complicated. There were retention criteria which seemed a little more limited than with some of the other products."
"N-able Passportal can improve the stability because sometimes I can't log in. I had some issues a couple of months ago where I couldn't log in and that was problematic."
"I'd like to see the ability to provide both credential management and documentation management for clients. Currently, they only get access to credential management."
"Sometimes accessing the solution is a bit slow, but that could be due to conditions at many different points. However, some issues that do arise are outside of our control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It requires other pieces of CA software and license keys, thing like that. That's one thing to keep in mind. It requires CA Common Services in order to actually be licensed to run on LPAR."
"For its value, Passportal's price is affordable."
"The price of N-able Passportal is approximately $15 for the license."
