Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."Reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges."
"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."
"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."
"Scalability is good. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"It scales easily and the product is stable."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"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."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"Using the implementation guide, I was able to implement the solution with ease."
"The most valuable aspects of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration are all the features, it is the most complete solution on the market. It has features, such as scanners and portals, it has everything."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in having the solution align more with standards. We're always shoehorning the product into the standards. It's not that it doesn't work for standards, it does. But Quick Start Policies are pretty close to what we need. The vendor needs to keep looking at GDPR, 27001, and 27701. That's why our clients buy the product."
"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved. It is a new cloud-based solution. So, many more specific reports can come out natively. Currently, we get all the events, and we put them in plug-ins. From there, we generate our own design of reports. If there is a much more solid or robust reporting analytics framework within the product itself, it would be helpful."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"The help system should be improved to provide a quick help guide with each tab within the solution, which explains what each particular function does."
"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"There are several areas for improvement in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. They have no proper documentation on how to do backups. They also have a lengthy workflow process where we have to make some configurations to manage automation in the rules and in our tasks which takes time. We have to manually configure all the configuration files, and we cannot export users because there's no export system in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. What we'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for them to make configuration and integration with other systems their top priorities. We have many API systems to manage, so hopefully, if they make these enhancements shortly, we can directly connect with our API systems when using Symantec Identity Governance and Administration."
"The directory has room for improvement. Also, the dashboards and, in particular, the KPI dashboard that shows the current user’s information needs reworking."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
