Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model. For example, if you look at BeyondTrust, their licensing is more straightforward. They only ask about the number of assets you need to protect, and there's no additional cost for external users or third-party vendors. With WALLIX Bastion, there's a separate fee for external users to access the environment. It would be great if they could unify the licensing so that customers don't have to pay separate fees for different types of users. It would make the pricing more transparent and easier to understand. Even if the total cost stays the same, a unified approach would be much simpler and more convenient for customers. It's about clarity and ease of understanding.

It would be better enhanced features like if an example I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like other leading PAM solution. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate connection which will add as an extra device. You have to create and click on each connection for any variation if any on nthe single connection. For example, other leading PAM solution 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 with different connections created to get that access where u can have one connection more enhanced features 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. 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 for each every session im sure its there in the road map and development soon
The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions. I want the solution to offer two-factor authentication for Windows Active Directory. They lack this functionality.
WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management. The solution’s reporting and alerting could be improved.

The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well.
There could be more automation features for the solution. Also, its user behavior analysis using machine learning needs improvement.
The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low.
