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 is it is easy to use and the interface is intuitive.""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.""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.""One of the main benefits we've experienced is that Arcon helps us manage all our team's tasks and provides recording capabilities.""It is recording video records for Windows and command-line reports for others, Linux and AIX, of whatever activities being carries by that particular administrator.""The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily.""The video logs help us to identify any misuse of privileged accounts.""One standout feature of ARCON is its ability to resolve lagging issues, especially noticeable in Linux environments."

"One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important.""The product helps minimize gaps in governance coverage.""It is easy to use and handle.""One Identity Manager is flexible and offers numerous connectors that enable us to serve as the core component of the system, as well as to construct our own connectors using the API.""The One Identity birthright process has helped generate user accounts more accurately and quickly.""We chose this product for being able to accommodate our requirements. It's very flexible, and it's open to being developed to our requirements.""The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool.""The product is flexible. For example, it offers cloud features."

Cons
"One thing which needs improvement is where it is keeping video logs of Windows Servers, whatever activities are being carried out by the administrator. Because Windows logs are a video, they are unsearchable, so if you need to search for a specific administrator and what he has done on a server, right now you need to go through different video logs of that particular timeframe. I think they are coming up with an additional feature where in it can be indexed and can be searchable.""We would like to see support for privileged accounts used in web-based systems like Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway, VMware ESXI management tools, etc.""I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video.""For the in-house built applications, they need to provide good, solid access through their portal.""It would be helpful to have a "Favorites" list. For example, if I have 100 servers but I only go to 10 servers frequently, a Favorites list would allow me to go through those ten servers only.""Currently, along with the upgrade of the ARCON solution, we have to consider the desktops and the endpoints from where the solution will have to be accessed. We have to upgrade those endpoints and desktops as well. So upgrades are not smooth.""Currently, we can manage only the SSH or RDP connections, but there are many more devices that are present, apart from our SSH and RDP. We want all this to be part of the ARCON solution. For the password management, they should increase the pool of supported devices, they should have more connectors.""It should support the SQL Always On platform with FQDN name instead of IP."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management Cons →

"Some internal structures are in place because of already depreciated functions back from the time when the solution was used for software deployment and as a help desk.""It is particularly slow if you are using it in a large organization.""The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long.""The tool to develop the web portal needs improvement.""There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized.""The performance could be better. I also think One Identity could improve its documentation for developers. Many of One Identity's features aren't fully documented. We don't have enough information on how to use them.""Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work.""I would like to integrate automated testing with One Identity, and it would be great to have some support from the vendor on here."
