We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The user interface, overall, is really good. If I have some 20 servers in my ID, I can easily see for which servers I have read-only access, for which servers I have prompt-access, and for which servers I have server admin access.""Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.""Logging, particularly screen recording for Windows RDP sessions. Also, command-logging for SSH sessions. This really helps us to see what commands/changes have been executed in a particular service at a given point of time, and by whom.""The entire conversation that is happening between the servers and the client is recorded. It is a good feature if you want to do some analysis, and for investigation.""With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds.""The notification alert feature where the network admin gets notified of probable malicious activity is the most valuable feature.""It was very easy for us to move this application and database from on-premise to cloud, as well as configure new things, such as load balancing. The product is very compatible.""They don't just stick to a base version; instead, they actively enhance and improve it based on client feedback and industry trends."

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing.""Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us.""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.""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."

Cons
"We expect improvement in the dashboards to provide visibility of password compliance status, whenever a password is opened from the vault. Also, flexibility to customize the live dashboard.""There are no APIs readily available... I'm working on automation for ARCON so that whatever the ARCON administrator is doing will be automated, rather than having to do it manually. For that, I had to spend months to get the API developed myself. Having that handy out of the box, that would really help...""There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released.""If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required.""One common problem I faced with ARCON PAM was compatibility issues with certain software versions.""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.""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.""They they should focus on support. The support needs to be very strong. Since the product is becoming stronger, their support team also should be equally strong. They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set. Their support team should be more technical, to understand the issue or the set up."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low.""The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well.""For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself.""There could be more automation features for the solution.""The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions.""Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model.""It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
