"We have received good support from the tech support team.""The RDP-gateway: For limiting which server an operator can access.""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.""The key benefits are we improve our governance. We ensure we can build more trust in the way we run and operate our environment, and most of all is the accountability.""Transparent login for users of privileged IDs (Linux, Windows). This prevents sharing of the password because it is never seen.""Stability is solid as a rock.""We can enforce complicated password policies and very important frequent password changes.""CA PAM is working well for us."

Cons
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts.""Product management should be improved.""Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."

More One Identity Privileged Access Suite for Unix Cons →

"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.""I would like this solution to be simpler. It should have a one-click access that works together with AWS.""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 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.""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.""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.​"

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
