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.

Administrating users and assets is simplified but reporting tools need enhancements
The Access Manager and Bastion in WALLIX Bastion are straightforward to use, and their administration of users, groups, and assets is simple to implement and manage. The session management capabilities, which allow for session recording, are valuable, though primarily used for exceptional purposes. The solution's simplicity and ease of setup are notable, requiring short training for local administrators.

"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
"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 performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
