Devolutions Password Server vs Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management comparison

Managing and controlling access to privileged accounts is of the utmost importance for every organization, regardless of its size. As the concern for insider threats and data breaches is growing, the demand for solutions is also reaching an all-time high. Unfortunately, the majority of existing privileged access management solutions have focused primarily on meeting the needs of large scale organizations. This results in solutions less suited for the specific needs of SMBs, as they tend to be overly complex, challenging to deploy, and beyond budget. This dilemma is what drove Devolutions to create a set of solutions specifically designed to meet the growing needs of small and medium-sized businesses. We call it "PAM for the rest of us."

Privileged access management allows granular access control over privileged admin tasks in Office 365. It can help protect your organization from breaches that use existing privileged admin accounts with standing access to sensitive data or access to critical configuration settings. Privileged access management requires users to request just-in-time access to complete elevated and privileged tasks through a highly scoped and time-bounded approval workflow. This configuration gives users just-enough-access to perform the task at hand, without risking exposure of sensitive data or critical configuration settings. Enabling privileged access management in Microsoft 365 allows your organization to operate with zero standing privileges and provide a layer of defense against standing administrative access vulnerabilities.
