"The most valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management for protecting Privileged accounts is its built-in launcher. Additionally, the single sign-on capability is good.

Another valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management is that it's easy to onboard.""The most valuable features of Sectona Privileged Access Management include robust session monitoring for privileged users.""The most valuable feature is the risk management.

Cons
"Secret Server should have the ability to discover privileged accounts in the servers, like the administrator or users, from SQL and Oracle without having to import a script.""It would be preferable if the full proxy was included in the IBM Security Secret Server.""What needs improvement in IBM Security Secret Server is support. The local partner provides good support, but IBM itself doesn't. Most of the time, the IBM support team does not aggressively resolve issues reported through chat or the IBM website.""The newer interface is more difficult to use than the previous one, and consequently, new users might need more training.""The nonclustered index is working in an area with a problem that needs improvement."

For example, we need to be able to integrate Sectona PAM with next-generation applications such as Docker and Lambda, as well as ITD pipelines that use privileged user data.""As I don't have at least one to two years of experience with Sectona Privileged Access Management, I cannot share areas for improvement in the solution. To me, Sectona Privileged Access Management has reasonable pricing, but it could still be improved. I'm also unsure if Sectona Privileged Access Management could cover the requirements of large-sized companies, but for small-sized to medium-sized companies, I'd recommend the solution.""I would like to see future updates include robust support for cloud environments as organizations increasingly move towards cloud-based solutions.""Sectona Privileged Access Management needs to improve its stability. It needs to enhance the product's stability because of frequent updates. This is crucial for a solution like Privileged Access Management, as organizations rely on stability. When it becomes unstable, it causes panic."
