There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"Right now we are encouraging our customers to use Fudo PAM because it is the only product in PAM technology that we have to offer them."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."
"The solution allows me to give access and privileges to each user individually"
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very easy to manage, which I like. The solution also has a dashboard where you can see which software is suspicious, which I find valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to control users with admin rights. Even if developers and senior folks maintain their admin rights, we can still manage their activities."
"There are many valuable aspects of the product, but the most common feature is working with the privileges. The controls of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager influence the visibility into endpoints for my customers. It allows them to granularly manage controls to prevent some malicious activities on the endpoint machine."
"The product is very flexible"
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."
 

Cons

"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The configuration is difficult."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
"The stability is not very good."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"The management of Privilege Access is not satisfactory."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a perfect solution, but CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux has many issues. Another area for improvement in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, specifically for Windows, is that there's no way for you to check credential theft from a text file, such as a notepad file."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
"I'm not satisfied with the EPM, and I'm just looking to see if there's any other solution that we can get."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It's an old product and has many areas that can be improved."
"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"I believe it's quite a reasonably priced solution. It's not very common to use CyberArk because it's a niche solution, but customers who are willing to control administrative accounts are willing to pay this money."
"Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."
"We pay about $17 per user."
