Prasanthraj PN - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"We can use it remotely as well."
"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."
"The Transparent Mode is the number one advantage of the product."
"We are able to log and get reporting on all privileged activity that is being performed. We like the fact that we can leverage the session recording feature, which is especially valuable when we're dealing with third-party vendors that have to remote into our our boxes and servers to do any work on behalf of the bank. Now, we can record everything they are doing to ensure that they're only doing the changes that were needed. In addition, we use it to leverage knowledge transfer with our internal staff."
"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."
"It has greatly helped improve our security posture. Safeguard has an option where it will reset passwords on service accounts, then go out to those servers where that service account is running as a service and update the password on it. That makes password changes very easy. We can regularly change passwords now and are planning on making it an annual activity, where all the people who own service accounts will go in and make sure all their passwords get changed, updated, and reset."
"It is generally easy-to-use and install."
"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."
 

Cons

"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."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."
"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."
"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."
"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."
"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."
"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
