More Fudo PAM Cons →

"The management console could be improved.""What I hope happens with the new product CA PAM is to keep all the useful features that exist in PA, but what I’ve noticed with many new products is the UI gets polished but systems lags stability and performance or it adds additional complexity instead of simplifying the user experience.""The service account management functionality needs to be extended to application pools, SQL database, PowerShell scripts, service account discovery, etc.""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.""The support for other remote assistance tools would be excellent. Free included tools in Windows (Remote Assist) and Microsoft SCCM Configuration Manager (ConMgr Remote Control) allow companies to reduce the amount of RDP connections and expand the usage of the tools are frequently used by companies to provide technical support for remote assistance.""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.""Bring more technology into the portfolio and being able to collapse those products into a much more integrated way.""They need to do a little bit more on the mainframe side.​"
