Auditing enhances privileged account security with a fast deployment
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.

With its extension, I can quickly access login information without opening a new browser window
Passportal's stability is okay. However, it goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else. I can only remember one or two outages with IT Glue. With Passportal, it gets frustrating when you need to reset a password for a client, and you have to put their global admin address in there because what you're doing requires admin privileges. But you can't get in there because Passportal isn't working, and the password might be a 48-character password. If it's down for five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes — that's too long. It's a real inconvenience. It doesn't happen all the time, but I've been at this job two months, and it's probably happened three or four times. I don't like this. I'm used to having it right at my fingertips. I need access now. With the influx of tickets coming in and time management, it needs to be like that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature would be the authorization for saving passwords, it is also very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The solution has a lot of great features that make tasks easier for technical people."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"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 very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"Passportal is very stable."
"I like Passportal's extensions; you can click the particular company you want and go through all the passwords and usernames associated with that company or the specific webpage you're on or their server or whatever, which is a whole lot faster because I don't have to open up a new browser or use my bookmark or anything like that."
"Passportal has the advantage of also being a document management system."
 

Cons

"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."
"Sometimes the person who doesn't actually use those passwords becomes responsible for the password."
"The user interface could be improved and made 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."
"The product could be improved by lowering the price - it's expensive."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"Passportal's stability is okay. However, it goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else."
"In the future, I would like the ability to have diagrams, such as those created by Visio, available directly in Passportal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We pay the license fee monthly and the price is reasonable."
