Enhanced compliance and security through detailed action recordings

Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Currently, along with the upgrade of the ARCON solution, we have to consider the desktops and the endpoints from where the solution will have to be accessed. We have to upgrade those endpoints and desktops as well. So upgrades are not smooth."

"We would like to see support for privileged accounts used in web-based systems like Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway, VMware ESXI management tools, etc."

"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."
"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."
