We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects.""Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector.""We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX.""it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company.""The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."

More Fudo PAM Pros →

"You can do A2A integration. You can have your own script, which can then run outside of PA to retrieve the password and perform other tasks.""Whoever built it from the ground up, they understand how an organization is laid out.""We know we can scale up with what we have, and we probably will not need to buy any further appliances down the road.""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.""Transparent login for users of privileged IDs (Linux, Windows). This prevents sharing of the password because it is never seen.""It reduces the viral attacks on my website. It also allows certain users access to see what happens daily.""We can check the activities in the server for fragile files and documents in case of any issues.""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."

Cons
"Professional training and certification would be great.""The stability is not very good.""I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server.""The configuration is difficult.""Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."

More Fudo PAM Cons →

"Bring more technology into the portfolio and being able to collapse those products into a much more integrated way.""I would like this solution to be simpler. It should have a one-click access that works together with AWS.""The setup is complex.""They need to have zero tier and active-active setup ​with zero minimum downtime, which they are working on it. ​""It'd be great if you just stuck in your PIV card and Windows popped up, asked you for your password. You typed it in, then it remembered your credentials.""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.""We have to do a lot of manual work to automate features.""The service account management functionality needs to be extended to application pools, SQL database, PowerShell scripts, service account discovery, etc."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
  • More Fudo PAM 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."
