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.

Pros

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"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."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."

More WALLIX Bastion pros
 

Cons

"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."
"Despite newer versions and functionalities, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks sufficient knowledgeable support staff, resulting in longer wait times for assistance."
"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"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."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
More WALLIX Bastion cons
