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."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"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."
"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."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"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."
"I like that we have the power to blacklist, whitelist, and greylist applications."
"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."
"In terms of ROI, deploying CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has secured the infrastructure, which saves money, time, and resources."
"What sets CyberArk apart is its continuous innovation, staying ahead of the competition."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) 's most valuable feature is its ability to manage user application privileges and protect against ransomware attacks by controlling access to specific files and applications."
"The stability of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is excellent, with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."
"The password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"The stability is not very good."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"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 tool should be more user-friendly."
"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."
"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can improve its Identity Governance, which is already working effectively yet could continue to enhance its capabilities."
"The solution can be complex to use at times."
"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."
"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."
"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"We pay about $17 per user."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"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."
