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."The solution helps our developers access internal systems. It also helps us in Privilege Access Management."
"Its' quite stable."
"With PAM in place, we've experienced a significant reduction in potential security breaches."
"CyberArk has helped us to identify, store, protect, and monitor the usage of privileged accounts."
"We are able to know who is accessing what and when; having accountability."
"We are maintaining compliance in PCI, SOX and HIPPA, which is a big thing. Auditors really like it, and it has made us stay compliant."
"Our go-to solution for securing against the pass the hash attack vector and auditing privileged account usage."
"The product is an important security measure against credential theft. It ensures session isolation and password rotation including pushing passwords to the endpoints."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"I would like to see better automation in granting access, better tools, more efficient tools, to be able to customize the solution that CyberArk provides."
"This product needs professional consulting services to onboard accounts effectively based user profiles."
"Tech support staff can be more proactive."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in the report section. I also work on other tools, such as Thycotic, which allows you to create customized reports for your organization's needs. In CyberArk, there are limited reports, whereas in Thycotic or some of the other PAM tools, because the database is different, you can customize the report based on your needs through SQL queries."
"The initial setup was somewhat complex."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"If we could have some kind of out-of-the box feature that you can simply say "no" so they don't have to go into a development mode, that would a really helpful feature."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk 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 to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. 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."
