There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"Right now we are encouraging our customers to use Fudo PAM because it is the only product in PAM technology that we have to offer them."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"The solution is pretty mature and can accommodate our use cases quite well."
"This is the number one product for privilege account security."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment."
"I like that we have the power to blacklist, whitelist, and greylist applications."
"The biggest benefit of CyberArk EPM for our customers is control over privileged access for endpoints. Endpoints are often the starting point for attackers to enter and move within a network. CyberArk EPM bridges the gap between security and operations teams. Operations teams are happy because work isn't stopped due to admin rights issues, while security teams are satisfied that full admin rights aren't given to all users."
"It doesn't affect operational efficiency. If you set everything correctly, the user doesn't notice that it is in the background."
"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
 

Cons

"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"The stability is not very good."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."
"The product is expensive."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a perfect solution, but CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux has many issues. Another area for improvement in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, specifically for Windows, is that there's no way for you to check credential theft from a text file, such as a notepad file."
"The solution is good but can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can be better by making its UI more consistent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."
"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."
"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
