Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."

    Overview

    CA Auditor for z/OS (CA Auditor) is a powerful mainframe tool architected to help you achieve and maintain compliance with the myriad regulatory requirements that govern your business and IT systems. It enables you to perform an automated technical review of the system, hardware and software environment and to identify integrity exposures in z/OS. CA Auditor is designed to help you simplify auditing activities and eliminate manual processes so that users without in-depth experience can perform an extensive operating system review.

    Auditor helps organizations ensure the security, integrity, and regulatory compliance of their mainframe environments. It provides comprehensive auditing capabilities that monitor and track user activity, system changes, and data access on the mainframe. By analyzing and reporting on these activities, Auditor helps organizations detect and respond to security threats, identify compliance violations, and investigate potential breaches or unauthorized activities.

    • Interactive Query Interface: CA Auditor offers an interactive query interface that allows users to perform ad-hoc searches and queries on the audit data, providing flexibility in analyzing specific events or patterns of activity.

    • Audit Data Visualization: The solution includes visual representation capabilities, such as charts and graphs, to present audit data in a more intuitive and easily understandable format. This helps in identifying trends, anomalies, and patterns quickly.
