We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros

More ManageEngine PAM360 Pros →

"The key benefits are we improve our governance. We ensure we can build more trust in the way we run and operate our environment, and most of all is the accountability.""You can do A2A integration. You can have your own script, which can then run outside of PA to retrieve the password and perform other tasks.""Whoever built it from the ground up, they understand how an organization is laid out.""Password Management and Session Recording. The simplicity and ease that it is to be up and running out-of-the-box is very much appreciated.""CA PAM is working well for us.""We found that the architecture is scalable and very resilient.""One of the key things for us about the product is around its simplicity. Being able to put in the technology that allows the business to remove complexity and also allow the security improvements.""The product is very scalable in terms of concurrent sessions that it can handle at a time, number of device it can support, accounts that it can manage, or number of nodes that you can deploy in a cluster."

Cons
"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360.""I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average.""If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product.""There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."

More ManageEngine PAM360 Cons →

"We experience stability issues after every patch upgrade. This is a place where CA needs to improve drastically.""It's difficult to locate the reports, there are limits on what reports can be run from the GUI, and the report formats are lacking.""I’m no fan of Java as an application front-end, as it tends to have issues depending on what browser one’s using.""The response time for support could be faster. Some features should be added: cloud-based, VPN-less, more secure, and it should be adjusted in a hybrid environment.""It'd be great if you just stuck in your PIV card and Windows popped up, asked you for your password. You typed it in, then it remembered your credentials.""An improvement for this solution is that it should not be constantly based on user name and password. There should be a condition to edit and update your username.""They need to do a little bit more on the mainframe side.​""Instead of just giving passwords to the user based on job function, from auditing perspective, turn that cycle around. That would really help from an auditing standpoint."

  • More ManageEngine PAM360 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Don’t go with an agent model. Don’t go with a model that has you buying a thousand different parts. Go with PAM that gives you everything, or you’ll just be paying costs of implementing another tool that PAM would have just given you up front."
  • "The prices are not low, but one can ask for a discount. It’s not the cheapest PAM solution."

    Overview

    Comprehensive privileged access management solution
    Privilege misuse is a top cybersecurity threat today that often results in expensive losses and can even cripple businesses. It's also one of the most popular attack vectors among hackers, because when successfully carried out, it provides free access to an enterprise's underbelly, often without raising any alarms until the damage is done.

    ManageEngine PAM360 empowers enterprises looking to stay ahead of this growing risk with a robust privileged access management (PAM) program that ensures no privileged access pathway to mission-critical assets is left unmanaged, unknown, or unmonitored.

    PAM360 is a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to incorporate PAM into their overall security operations. With PAM360's contextual integration capabilities, you can build a central console where different parts of your IT management system interconnect for deeper correlation of privileged access data and overall network data, facilitating meaningful inferences and quicker remedies.

    CA Privileged Access Manager is a simple-to-deploy, automated, proven solution for privileged access management in physical, virtual and cloud environments. It enhances security by protecting sensitive administrative credentials such as root and administrator passwords, controlling privileged user access, proactively enforcing policies and monitoring and recording privileged user activity across all IT resources.  It includes CA PAM Server Control (previously CA Privileged Identity Manager) for fine-grained protection of critical servers
