DN
CEO at EasyPatternZ Incorporated / ArmadAI
Administrating users and assets is simplified but reporting tools need enhancements
The Access Manager and Bastion in WALLIX Bastion are straightforward to use, and their administration of users, groups, and assets is simple to implement and manage. The session management capabilities, which allow for session recording, are valuable, though primarily used for exceptional purposes. The solution's simplicity and ease of setup are notable, requiring short training for local administrators.
