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

"Logging, particularly screen recording for Windows RDP sessions. Also, command-logging for SSH sessions. This really helps us to see what commands/changes have been executed in a particular service at a given point of time, and by whom."
"It was very easy for us to move this application and database from on-premise to cloud, as well as configure new things, such as load balancing. The product is very compatible."
"For compliance, each change I do, in each of the servers, is clearly recorded. We recently faced an audit and this was an awesome feature. Even our auditor had praise for it saying, "This is really a good feature.""
"The video logs help us to identify any misuse of privileged accounts."
"Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The deployment process for the solution was easy...The solution's technical support team was good."
"The initial setup was very simple. There was only one server we had to setup. We needed to store all the passwords, and a secure database is used."
"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"We can use it remotely as well."
 

Cons

"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"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."
"The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management is not a user-friendly solution, and the application flow from one screen to another is very complex."
"Managing users is difficult, so that is something that can be improved."
"I would like for it to be dependent on Windows as opposed to Linux."
"One thing which needs improvement is where it is keeping video logs of Windows Servers, whatever activities are being carried out by the administrator. Because Windows logs are a video, they are unsearchable, so if you need to search for a specific administrator and what he has done on a server, right now you need to go through different video logs of that particular timeframe. I think they are coming up with an additional feature where in it can be indexed and can be searchable."
"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."
"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this 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."
"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."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is a good value. It's appropriately priced. The product has all the required features. It doesn't work in some of the areas but, right now overall, it's pretty good."
"I definitely feel the product's pricing is a good value. It is one of the best products we have. The licensing is server-based."
"The solution’s pricing is neither cheap nor expensive."
"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 product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"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."
"Product pricing is based on users and connections. We did not have to pay more for additional features."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management's pricing is reasonable."
"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."
"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
