A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"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."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
 

Cons

"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
"Product management should be improved."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"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."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
