More Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager [EOL] Pros →

"One of the key things for us about the product is around its simplicity. Being able to put in the technology that allows the business to remove complexity and also allow the security improvements.""Password Management and Session Recording. The simplicity and ease that it is to be up and running out-of-the-box is very much appreciated.""We know we can scale up with what we have, and we probably will not need to buy any further appliances down the road.""It will provide us with more security.""For me, it is the robust API which is the most valuable feature. This allows for low maintenance costs and allows applications to automatically connect. This is great to automate security of the DevOps pipeline for shared secrets across environments. Also, being on Linux and a virtual appliance is great.""Whoever built it from the ground up, they understand how an organization is laid out.""It gives you list of servers, so you can see which users have access to which servers. This is really useful, so we can make sure nobody is getting extra access than what is needed.""We can check the activities in the server for fragile files and documents in case of any issues."

Cons
"Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager is cumbersome and it does not operate by itself and relies on other solutions. Overall the way you configure things is a bit awkward compared to other solutions, such as Cyberark and Thycotic. The interface could be more intuitive, some features I expected to be easily accessible I had to search around for them. There needs to be more centralization."

More Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager [EOL] Cons →

"I’m no fan of Java as an application front-end, as it tends to have issues depending on what browser one’s using.""Instead of just giving passwords to the user based on job function, from auditing perspective, turn that cycle around. That would really help from an auditing standpoint.""They need to do a little bit more on the mainframe side.​""An improvement for this solution is that it should not be constantly based on user name and password. There should be a condition to edit and update your username.""The management console could be improved.""Bring more technology into the portfolio and being able to collapse those products into a much more integrated way.""It's difficult to locate the reports, there are limits on what reports can be run from the GUI, and the report formats are lacking.""We have to do a lot of manual work to automate features."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Don’t go with an agent model. Don’t go with a model that has you buying a thousand different parts. Go with PAM that gives you everything, or you’ll just be paying costs of implementing another tool that PAM would have just given you up front."
  • "The prices are not low, but one can ask for a discount. It’s not the cheapest PAM solution."
  • "Appliances are relatively cheap, don’t skimp. Make sure you have redundancy, high availability, and enough appliances to manage the concurrent workload."
  • "Cost-wise, CA was better compared to others in the market. ​"
  • "Pricing is fair compared to other top vendors."
  • "The licensing is simple and scalable."
  • "I would prefer better licensing options for the 20-100 users we have at a given time."
  • "It is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
