"It provides an accountability to the individuals who are using it, knowing that it is audited and tracked."
"Its' quite stable."
"It gives us the capability to rotate passwords."
"DVR like video recording and text-based recording for easier audits."
"On the EBB user side, we were able to secure all the server root passwords and admin for Windows. This was a big win for us."
"Password rotation, session recording & isolation and on-demand privileges."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"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 greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"Report creation could be improved. The policies could be more customized."
"The web access piece needs improvement. We have version 9.5 or 9.9.5, and now we have to upgrade to version 10."
"There should be more models and licensing plans for this software."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"One thing that could be improved is to create of a better alternative for fixing group policy fees. We currently use Microsoft, but they have introduced new policies that may not be compatible."
"It needs better documentation with more examples for the configuration files and API/REST integration"
"If you are an administrator or architect, then the solution is kind of complicated, as it is mostly focused on the end user. So, they need to also focus on the people who are implementing it."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"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."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
