Ekran System vs WALLIX Bastion comparison

"It supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"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."

"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 most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

"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."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"Ekran System could improve in terms of communication to the market, particularly after their rebranding as Shiteka."

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."

"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 scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
