I would rate this solution 5 out of 10. I wouldn't recommend this solution because the support isn't good, and the response time isn't good. It's also not on the Gartner report anymore.

In this case, the CA PAM is working well for us.

Go for it if your key areas are password/session management of Windows/Unix/database. Be careful if you want to use this for service account management. There are some technical challenges while integrating the web-based console (security devices) for transparent login/single sign-on.
