Helps to manage human, digital and machine identities
We use the solution to manage identities that include human identities, machine identities, digital identities, and API integrations.  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.…

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

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 solution's technical support team is helpful."
"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."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"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."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"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."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"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."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
 

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