Efficiently keeps track and monitors
When I look at something like a server or a user who has an unsuccessful login, all they're giving me is what is from the domain controllers. When I click on the analytics portion that says give me information, it doesn't tell me what application is errored out. It doesn't tell me; it just tells me what is the same information from the domain controller. I'd like a little bit more robust information on actually giving me some useful information instead of some links that send me out to the Internet that says research here, and then I have to do additional research. It's kind of generic. And, basically, it's just a quick, I don't have to search through the domain controller logs, but once I pull those out, the logs are still very generic like you get from Microsoft. Area code four three one one. Okay. I had to go look that up. It doesn't take it any further than just a copy based on the domain controller.

The support for the PAM product is not very prompt. Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days. This process is slower compared to other products from the same manufacturer.

Quotes from Members

"The solution enables agents to reset their passwords."
"It's very simple to manage and implement. Its functions are straightforward. You get all the basic features, such as you get the option to unlock the user account if it is locked. You can enforce password policies, and you also have the option to allow them to reset their passwords if they forget it. These were the basic requirements of my company that we could achieve through this product."
"Due to ransomware and novel threats, we can no longer allow people to gain domain admin access to our servers with only a username and password. With MFA, they must supply a one-time password sent to them via some authenticator, like Microsoft or Google Authenticator. It could be a text message."
"Having multifactor authentication in Windows machines."
"The solution has a lot of great features that make tasks easier for technical people."
"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"It is user-friendly. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before."
"It is user-friendly, and someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
 

Cons

"They could improve their security of the products to prevent vulnerabilities."
"The registration process could be improved. It should be easier for users to register for the service."
"There is a lack of specific information provided by the analytics portion of the software."
"Asset management/discover and reporting."
"The worst part is that the solution can only be installed or updated on a device if it is physically connected to the local network."
"Could be simplified, not user-friendly."
"The worst part is that the solution can only be installed or updated on a device if it is physically connected to the local network."
"We need more reports for visualization."
"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."
"The product couldn’t make any notable change in our system, because of the complexity of cycle of the system."
"Sometimes the person who doesn't actually use those passwords becomes responsible for the password."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly. When you search for a password, there are some things you can't edit from the search bar, so you have to go back to the main window and scroll through to edit them."
"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"The product could be improved by lowering the price - it's expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Using this solution costs us about $1,200 USD per year."
"You purchase the license for one time, and you can use it for a lifetime. The only thing is that in order to get support, you need to upgrade your product to the latest solution. You need to keep a support contract with them for which you have to pay some amount. It's a very small amount for renewing their support contract. Overall, it's very cost-effective."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
