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.

Security has improved with monitored privileged sessions but the complex interface still needs work
I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic, but I have no clue about how much it costs. When I say it is not easy to use, I mean the interface is complex, but it might not be directly linked to the product; it might be linked to the way we implemented it in our context. The way we have to connect to a third Bastion and then launch another session bothers me. We also have some limitations, but I think this is linked to our context regarding how many times the session can stay open on the Windows session, which is not aligned with my needs. I am more of a promoter of other kinds of handling privileged access management with my use case, but it might not be linked to the tool; it is just because the implementation we made is not what I expect for my needs and it is not the way I want to work on my servers. In the past, I used the leader in PAM but cannot remember the name. I was more satisfied because the connection was more straightforward: I click on a button, make my authentication, and have my servers open, and this is the way I want it. The UI was the main reason why I thought the previous tool I was using was better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"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."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"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."
"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."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"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."
"Technical support is very good; they have their own ticket system that is available for all customers and their system is already in different languages, for example, English, French, and, for us, Russian."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."

"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"Deploying Bastion isn't as straightforward."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
