Featured Reviews

SarojMohapatra - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good session monitoring and recording features
Some options are required in the tool, especially to help in scenarios where if a user's ID gets locked, that person cannot unlock the ID from ARCON Privileged Access Management. Even the technical team in my company cannot unlock any locked ID with the help of the tool. Even if there is an admin password, ARCON Privileged Access Management releases it using its functionalities, allowing users to generate a password during an emergency. If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required.
Faares Shaikh - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a user-friendly experience with a streamlined installation process
I'm familiar with Sectona's session management, including a feature called session collaboration, allowing the host to invite another user to join a session. It provides real-time monitoring and the ability to terminate sessions if unauthorized access is detected. Password rotation in Sectona is managed through defined policies, including character requirements and rotation intervals. Automated triggers ensure compliance and prevent manual password changes, contributing to security measures. My advice to new users is that if you are looking to secure your IT infrastructure and privileged accounts, consider trying Sectona PAM. It is a newer but promising solution that is growing in popularity. Overall, I would rate Sectona PAM as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"100% compliant and you don't have to maintain ID management for each and every user."
"With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is it is easy to use and the interface is intuitive."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The user interface, overall, is really good. If I have some 20 servers in my ID, I can easily see for which servers I have read-only access, for which servers I have prompt-access, and for which servers I have server admin access."
"For compliance, each change I do, in each of the servers, is clearly recorded. We recently faced an audit and this was an awesome feature. Even our auditor had praise for it saying, "This is really a good feature.""
"After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity."
"The most valuable features of Sectona Privileged Access Management include robust session monitoring for privileged users."
"The most valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management for protecting Privileged accounts is its built-in launcher. Additionally, the single sign-on capability is good. Sectona's session recording feature is particularly noteworthy because it utilizes minimal storage. Instead of recording entire sessions, it captures activity only when necessary, optimizing storage space."
"The most valuable feature is the risk management. When a Privileged user performs a certain command, such as running a script, the system highlights it in the risk management section as high, critical, or medium risk."
"A key factor for my company is support, and Sectona Privileged Access Management has good support. Another valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management is that it's easy to onboard."
 

Cons

"The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"There are no APIs readily available... I'm working on automation for ARCON so that whatever the ARCON administrator is doing will be automated, rather than having to do it manually. For that, I had to spend months to get the API developed myself. Having that handy out of the box, that would really help..."
"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."
"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"I suggest implementing password rotation for service-based accounts, as that should be included."
"There is often a slow response when logging into routers, switches, or servers compared to direct access."
"If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Sectona needs to think about SaaS solutions and cloud use cases. For example, we need to be able to integrate Sectona PAM with next-generation applications such as Docker and Lambda, as well as ITD pipelines that use privileged user data."
"Sectona Privileged Access Management needs to improve its stability. It needs to enhance the product's stability because of frequent updates. This is crucial for a solution like Privileged Access Management, as organizations rely on stability. When it becomes unstable, it causes panic."
"I would like to see future updates include robust support for cloud environments as organizations increasingly move towards cloud-based solutions."
"As I don't have at least one to two years of experience with Sectona Privileged Access Management, I cannot share areas for improvement in the solution. To me, Sectona Privileged Access Management has reasonable pricing, but it could still be improved. I'm also unsure if Sectona Privileged Access Management could cover the requirements of large-sized companies, but for small-sized to medium-sized companies, I'd recommend the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not in a position to give any financials, but whatever we have paid, it is value for money. Their licensing model is good. They have been flexible for us."
"There are no major concerns with licensing because we can handle multiple servers in our kiosk system."
"The cost of this product is very cheap, comparatively in the global market."
"Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
"The product's pricing is a good value. It's appropriately priced. The product has all the required features. It doesn't work in some of the areas but, right now overall, it's pretty good."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"The licensing cost for Sectona Privileged Access Management is reasonable, though I cannot share the figure because that's confidential information. I'm not paying for additional costs because the current license covers my requirements. I'd rate the pricing for Sectona Privileged Access Management a three on a scale of one to five."
"Sectona Privileged Access Management's pricing is relatively cheaper and aggressive. It is affordable, especially for the Indian market and globally. Compared to competitors, Sectona offers a very good price range."
