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.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our setup process is moving to the cloud, which is very good. It reduces complexity."
"We can do both server and endpoint protection."
"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."
"The most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has had a positive impact on my customers' security posture."
"The solution is scalable."
"We have not had issues with CyberArk. It works very smoothly. We can do many things with CyberArk. It helps us to see exactly what is happening."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment. That means you can delete the local admins and grant them proper privileges with the console. So, they will get proper permissions for applications they need, but we don't have to do it. In the domain where we don't have control, the user can only do specified actions, but not all of them."
More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
More WALLIX Bastion pros
 

Cons

"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can improve its Identity Governance, which is already working effectively yet could continue to enhance its capabilities."
"We have had some major issues with the tool, but we have worked with the R&D teams and we have worked with support. There is room for improvement, especially on response times. But they're working on it and they're doing the best they can."
"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."
"While CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a great tool, I believe the functionality could be wider. If it could work not only with permissions but also involve pure EDR tasks or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, it would be great."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"The solution can be complex to use at times."
"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."
More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
More WALLIX Bastion cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."

"The product's license is easy to procure."
"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."
