Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"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. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"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."
"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."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
 

Cons

"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"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 support for the PAM product is not very prompt."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
 

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."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
