Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

An easy-to-deploy and affordable tool for access control monitoring
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It doesn't affect operational efficiency. If you set everything correctly, the user doesn't notice that it is in the background."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to control users with admin rights. Even if developers and senior folks maintain their admin rights, we can still manage their activities."
"We were able to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which helped to simplify our privileged access management environment."
"Users can scale the solution."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very easy to manage, which I like. The solution also has a dashboard where you can see which software is suspicious, which I find valuable."
"The product is stable."
"Their customer support was excellent."
"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."
"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"We can use it remotely as well."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
 

Cons

"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."
"The solution can be complex to use at times."
"My recommendation for improvement is to add functionality for when users request access to an application. There's a pop-up UI, but it's not very customizable. I suggest creating a UI where we can write scripts or use SDKs to enhance it. This could automatically create tickets in a system like ServiceNow when users request an application. If a manager approves, we could automatically push policies to those users."
"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."
"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."
"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM."
"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."
"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."
"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."
"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."
"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."
"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."
"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."
