We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all.""We use ARCON Privileged Access Management to monitor and record our admin users' activity.""The deployment process for the solution was easy...The solution's technical support team was good.""The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily.""One of the main benefits we've experienced is that Arcon helps us manage all our team's tasks and provides recording capabilities.""For compliance, each change I do, in each of the servers, is clearly recorded. We recently faced an audit and this was an awesome feature. Even our auditor had praise for it saying, "This is really a good feature."""The most valuable feature of ARCON Privileged Access Management is the recording of sessions. It has all the basic features we need to fulfill our use case.""The initial setup was very simple. There was only one server we had to setup. We needed to store all the passwords, and a secure database is used."

"The asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager.""One of the valuable features is the absence of any local user in a unique system. All users are defined in the AD; communication is only between Unix and AD.""It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing.""The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people.""The product is secure.""The most valuable feature is the asset discovery, which makes it very easy to locate and identify assets and pull them into the manager.""It has some features that other products don't have yet, differentiation that sets it apart in the marketplace... Those features are a centralized dashboard and the ability to issue and revoke entitlements within minutes. That makes a difference.""I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."

Cons
"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video.""Bulk password automation is not available in ARCON when compared to other products.""The usability should be expanded to other browsers like Chrome and Firefox.""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...""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.""I'll provide feedback on additional features after the project is completed. I think it would be better to comment on that after the implementation is finished.""I would like for it to be dependent on Windows as opposed to Linux.""The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets."

"They are doing good for now, but they should start to consider tight integration with Mac solutions. There should be more integration with Mac. There should be Active Directory (AD) Bridging. Thycotic and Centrify have it currently because they merged and joined forces, and it was a feature available in Centrify. So, basically, they joined forces to create a kind of perfect product. If you have a hybrid or mixed environment with Windows and Mac, your Active Directory can only manage or enforce policies on Windows, but what about your Mac devices? How do you control them? So, AD Bridging will act as a bridge to bring all your Mac devices into your Active Directory. This way you have full control over your entire environment.""Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement.""The product should improve its price.""A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console.""The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler. It would be helpful if the solution had in-app tutorials for users to look at as they progress through the system. Sometimes we get lost and need to go back to check what exactly the function was. There should be small hints around major key functions. It would go a long way in speeding up the deployment process.""The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months.""It keeps on breaking every now and then. It is not yet mature. Every time something new comes up or we run into some new issues, the culprit is BeyondTrust because the agents and the adapter are not mature. The new development process goes on, and they're not able to handle things. It should be mature. It shouldn't break every now and then.""Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
  • "Pricing is reasonable."
  • "ARCON is a will give you all the features in a very cost-effective solution. Pricing and licensing is very good compared to other players in the market."
  • "The product is available with competitive pricing. Licensing is not complex. We calculated the license requirements by counting the number of admins and the number of devices which were going to integrate with it."
  • "The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
  • "Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
  • "I am not in a position to give any financials, but whatever we have paid, it is value for money. Their licensing model is good. They have been flexible for us."
  • "The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
  • More ARCON Privileged Access Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
  • "PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
  • "What BeyondTrust was providing was user-based licensing which was a great benefit from the client point of view. Recently, I don't know why, the licensing model has been changed, and that is the reason that they have lost a bit of their edge when it comes to the PAM, against our competition. The asset-based licensing, from the user's point of view, is not beneficial. The licensing should be based on the users. The greater the number of users, the greater will be the load and the greater the scalability problems. I presume that is why the licensing model has changed."
  • "This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
  • "Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."
  • "Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it."
  • "The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
  • "It was very expensive."
