Enhanced security through session monitoring and activity recording
From an end-user point of view, it would be beneficial if the system could provide information about the last login. This would help identify if the server was accessed by me or if someone has potentially stolen my credentials. It would provide a clearer picture of whether ARCON Privileged Access Management is accessed by an authentic user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Recording all videos of commands entered into devices is highly valuable."
"They don't just stick to a base version; instead, they actively enhance and improve it based on client feedback and industry trends."
"With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds."
"By manually keeping the user logs, we can understand and manage all the operationalized tasks."
"The session management capabilities are helpful. The session recording feature for system handling is good. It also eliminates the need to open many ports for end-users, simplifying access."
"The technical support is excellent."
"That dashboard is okay."
"The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The reporting is excellent."
 

Cons

"This product is lacking in terms of dashboarding analytics and should have user behavior analytics. It should also have better dashboarding for executive management and security managers, which this product is missing."
"It would be helpful to have a "Favorites" list. For example, if I have 100 servers but I only go to 10 servers frequently, a Favorites list would allow me to go through those ten servers only."
"They they should focus on support. The support needs to be very strong. Since the product is becoming stronger, their support team also should be equally strong. They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set. Their support team should be more technical, to understand the issue or the set up."
"The auto-password change feature which was recently added. It is supposed to change the password. However, in some cases, while changing the password, it has caused me to lose to connection due to network-related issues or something similar. What we need to have is a type of log for failure of password change."
"They need to support all web browsers. At the moment it only supports Explorer, IE. They have to come up with a solution to support all browsers."
"We expect improvement in the dashboards to provide visibility of password compliance status, whenever a password is opened from the vault. Also, flexibility to customize the live dashboard."
"The solution needs more work on the password management side of things. Password management is a big challenge for us, and I would like to improve this aspect. We're finding that BeyondTrust is better in this regard, which is why we're probably going to migrate over. It will offer better security I think."
"The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is simple, and there are only two types licensing: device licensing and user-based licensing."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management's pricing is reasonable."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
"Their licensing model is very simple, as it is based on the number of endpoints which you want to manage along with the number of users and administrators which you want to use."
"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"There are no major concerns with licensing because we can handle multiple servers in our kiosk system."
"It is good value for our business. According to me, their competitors are more costly. Therefore, it is quite affordable. I find the ARCON to be much cheaper than the other products in the market."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."

It depends on the weightage of the granular features you are looking for in your PAM solution. Do you need a PAM solution across your network devices, servers & even endpoints?
