Andreas Lalos - PeerSpot reviewer
Early threat detection and diverse OS support with enhanced security
Ekran System offers a lightweight solution that does not impact the systems where it is implemented. It provides rich metadata for monitored activities and includes threat analysis capabilities for early alerting and investigation of unauthorized actions.

Pros

"It supports diverse operating systems and allows for monitoring and enforcement policies, like blocking actions for policy violations, and provides a retention of historical data in a lightweight format."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"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."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
 

Cons

"Ekran System could improve in terms of communication to the market, particularly after their rebranding as Shiteka."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"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."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
