Pros

"The tool's architecture is thin and scalable. We also like the product's ease of deployment. My company is also impressed with the solution's number of connectors."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"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."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"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."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. We are using the yearly license."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
