PROS

Session recording, covering both compliance and in-house applications, is the most valuable feature.
Logging capabilities, including screen recording for Windows RDP sessions and command-logging for SSH sessions, enhance accountability and security.
The Password Vault automates credential management, providing secure storage and encryption.
Technical support is highly rated, complementing the ease of deployment and user satisfaction.
ARCON Privileged Access Management is continually enhanced based on client feedback and industry trends.

CONS

ARCON Privileged Access Management should support the SQL Always On platform with FQDN name instead of IP.
There is a need for improvement in dashboards for visibility of password compliance status when a password is opened from the vault.
It supports only Internet Explorer for accessing the client manager online, which limits browser compatibility.
The support team should be more technical and respond to open queries within a set time limit.
Managing users is difficult, and the deployment process is complex due to a lack of documentation.
