Enhanced compliance and security through detailed action recordings
We have used ARCON Privileged Access Management for recording videos of user actions taken after logging into systems. Around thirty people, including network engineers, server engineers, and application engineers, use it in the company There hasn't been a notable financial benefit for our…

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

"We use ARCON Privileged Access Management to monitor and record our admin users' activity."
"The user interface, overall, is really good. If I have some 20 servers in my ID, I can easily see for which servers I have read-only access, for which servers I have prompt-access, and for which servers I have server admin access."
"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."
"It gives us a lot of comfort in terms of security level. Our infrastructure devices and servers are secured and nobody can have unauthorized access to them."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The video logs help us to identify any misuse of privileged accounts."
"Previously, we had to go through some effort to change the credentials of our devices. The process was subject to human error... For things like managing credentials, some kind of register had to be maintained. With the Password Vault of ARCON, all these processes are automated. The credentials are changed, as per the schedule. The information is encrypted, kept in our vault, and sent to all the email addresses within the ARCON solution itself."
"That dashboard is okay."
"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."
"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."
"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

"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"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."
"Anti-bridging should be built into product."
"If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available."
"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."
"Scalability could be improved."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."
"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
"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."
"There are no major concerns with licensing because we can handle multiple servers in our kiosk system."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management's pricing is reasonable."
"Product pricing is based on users and connections. We did not have to pay more for additional features."
"ARCON is a will give you all the features in a very cost-effective solution. Pricing and licensing is very good compared to other players in the market."
"The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"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."
