Inexperienced support for old product, but good flexibility for use case customization
HelpSystems Powertech is scalable if you throw more servers at it. Then you can distribute the load, which is a Microsoft SQL Server backend, and as long as you allocate enough resources to those things, then it is scalable. That's good enough. It would be an entire organization that uses it. So at a hospital for example, a healthcare system, a bank, and it would be the entire workforce on it. I haven't see a lot of customer's specific use cases, but it is for the whole workforce, everyone. The CEO of the company to the janitor. In terms of maintaining it, that requires application administrators or system administrators. There is a manual process to update the product, at least with the on-premise version.

An easy-to-deploy and affordable tool for access control monitoring
In our company, we use ManageEngine PAM360 for access control monitoring. In our company, ManageEngine PAM360 records sessions when remote users access servers, which allows my team to know if someone has executed any kind of restricted commands, and if something goes wrong, then we are able to go…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HelpSystems Powertech's feature that I have found most valuable is its flexibility. It is able to be extended. A lot of the products these days, especially the ones on the cloud, are limited and can't handle all the use cases. Often there is not even a way to customize the application to meet uncommon use cases and HelpSystems provides an infrastructure that lends itself to the ability to be customized."
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
"We can use it remotely as well."
 

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the support of the product. It's hard to get support for it. I think this is emblematic of the fact that they don't have a lot of employees who have long-term experience with it."
"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."
"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."
