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.

Remote session recording enhances server access tracking while dashboard needs improvement
PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes. The automation system is very smart, although its interface is not as sophisticated as those of Dynatrace or FortiFEM. A critical advantage is its flexibility and security, providing stability across our client interactions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One important feature is the administrator access, mainly for Windows machines as well as Linux machines. It is important for us because there is accountability associated with each user ID. And the recordings are also helpful."
"The product is really a good product and a good value for the money, in terms of costs, user convenience, and functionality that they offer."
"For our requirements, this is the best product out there."
"One of the main benefits we've experienced is that Arcon helps us manage all our team's tasks and provides recording capabilities."
"It's a go-ahead for any organization that is looking to meet their compliance and audit requirements."
"The most valuable feature of ARCON Privileged Access Management is the recording of sessions, and it has all the basic features we need to fulfill our use case."
"Overall, I would rate ARCON Privileged Access Management nine out of ten."
"All features are available and cover all the use cases, like database, thin clients, file sharing clients, etc."
"My advice would be, if you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."
"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"We can use it remotely as well."
"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
 

Cons

"It should support the SQL Always On platform with FQDN name instead of IP, so where all the databases are managed centrally."
"The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"Initially, there were some issues with .NET applications in Windows 10 systems."
"Sometimes it gets stuck between servers and I would like to see this improved in the future."
"Currently, we can manage only the SSH or RDP connections, but there are many more devices that are present, apart from our SSH and RDP. We want all this to be part of the ARCON solution. For the password management, they should increase the pool of supported devices, they should have more connectors."
"Managing users is difficult, so that is something that can be improved."
"The only thing is, while the product is good, they could do something on the support side."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."
"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."
"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."
"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."
