Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the main benefits we've experienced is that Arcon helps us manage all our team's tasks and provides recording capabilities."
"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."
"We use ARCON Privileged Access Management to monitor and record our admin users' activity."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"One standout feature of ARCON is its ability to resolve lagging issues, especially noticeable in Linux environments."
"Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten."
"After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity."
"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."
"You can write different types of policies for custom business needs or any developer needs. If they need certain functions allocated, they can be customized easily."
"We found the initial setup to be easy."
"We have been able to manage application credentials in CyberArk, whether they come as a custom plugin or straight out-of-the-box."
"We are able to centrally manage credentials, touch applications, and rotate passwords."
"Automates password management to remove the human chain weakness."
"It takes people out of the machine work of ensuring credentials remain up-to-date, and handles connection brokering such that human usage and credential management remain independent."
"Performance-wise, it is excellent."
"We have demoted a lot of domain admins and taken a lot of that away from people, giving it a shared account structure."
"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."
"I would like for it to be dependent on Windows as opposed to Linux."
"One common problem I faced with ARCON PAM was compatibility issues with certain software versions."
"If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."
"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."
"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."
"Bulk password automation is not available in ARCON when compared to other products."
"The tool’s pricing and scalability can be better."
"The support services could act faster when people reach out to resolve issues."
"What could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the licensing model. It should be more flexible in terms of the users. Currently, it's based on the number of users, but many users only log in once in four months or once in five months. It would be great if the licensing model could be modified based on user needs. We even have users who have not logged in even once."
"The initial setup was somewhat complex."
"It can be integrated with other systems, but it is not easy to integrate. It takes too long to integrate it. Its integration should be easier and simpler."
"Having a centralized place to manage the solution has been something that I have always wanted, and they are starting to understand that and bring things back together."
"Currently, in Secure Connect, an end user is required to enter account information manually, and cannot save any of this information for future use."
"If there is an area that has room for improvement, it's probably working with their support and getting people on the phone. That is hard to do with most products in general, but that seems to be the difficult area. The product is fantastic, but sometimes we want somebody on the phone."
