Offers security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed
There are a couple of things. One is the BreachWatch feature. It's one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords. So, it checks the passwords and helps improve them. There's also a security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed. Some people haven't changed their passwords for months, even though applications force them to change every 45 or 90 days. So you can catch those issues and warn them. Most applications allow for rotation, but some don't. I've seen people use the same password for years. At least Keeper tells us these passwords haven't been rotated, and we can warn them to change them manually since we can't force people to change the password.

Security has improved with monitored privileged sessions but the complex interface still needs work
I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic, but I have no clue about how much it costs. When I say it is not easy to use, I mean the interface is complex, but it might not be directly linked to the product; it might be linked to the way we implemented it in our context. The way we have to connect to a third Bastion and then launch another session bothers me. We also have some limitations, but I think this is linked to our context regarding how many times the session can stay open on the Windows session, which is not aligned with my needs. I am more of a promoter of other kinds of handling privileged access management with my use case, but it might not be linked to the tool; it is just because the implementation we made is not what I expect for my needs and it is not the way I want to work on my servers. In the past, I used the leader in PAM but cannot remember the name. I was more satisfied because the connection was more straightforward: I click on a button, make my authentication, and have my servers open, and this is the way I want it. The UI was the main reason why I thought the previous tool I was using was better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BreachWatch feature is one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"Technical support is very good; they have their own ticket system that is available for all customers and their system is already in different languages, for example, English, French, and, for us, Russian."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
 

Cons

"The final implementation was challenging because we had to roll it out to three different departments within the same umbrella, each with its own domains."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting or behavioral analysis limited. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics."
"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's good value for money."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
