If I consider that most of the users are getting connected from a remote level and take into consideration that industries prefer to go for SaaS-based solutions and multi-factor authentication, I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360. If ManageEngine PAM360 can introduce multi-factor authentication, then it would be great from a security aspect.

PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes. The automation system is very smart, although its interface is not as sophisticated as those of Dynatrace or FortiFEM. A critical advantage is its flexibility and security, providing stability across our client interactions.

The documentation for ManageEngine PAM360 is very poor. It lacks detailed instructions about installation and configuration. For example, it does not specify what needs to be done on the Windows client. The documentation I have only mentions opening certain ports but does not clarify whether these ports should be opened on the client or the server. The deployment took more than two weeks. We began by creating a Windows environment. We set up a domain server, another server attached to the domain, and one Windows 10 client. Additionally, we included a Linux machine to see how it works in the setup. Later, we installed the client on one Windows 10 machine to test the solution and connected it to the network. We then attempted to discover the hosts on the network. During the discovery process, we successfully identified and added hosts, including the Linux host, to the appliance. I created the clients in the host, with one client configured as the administrator. The PAM solution could see the network and the hosts, and I was able to log into the hosts using a password key without any issues. However, when I tried to view the password, it only showed the password stored in the appliance. Attempts to synchronize the password between the client and the host failed, and changing the password also resulted in failure. Interestingly, the functionality worked correctly on the Linux machine; I could view, change, and synchronize the passwords without any issues. I rate the initial setup a three out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.
