Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

Customer Service

No sentiment score available
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro's support is responsive with knowledgeable staff, but PAM cases may experience delays.
No sentiment score available
WALLIX Bastion customer service is praised for knowledgeable 24/7 support, despite occasional imprecision and lengthy resolution times.
The support for PAM is not very prompt as it requires logging a case first and responses can take a day or two.
WALLIX support team is very good
 

Room For Improvement

Sentiment score
5.0
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro needs user interface improvements and affordable pricing, catering mainly to tech-savvy users with limited support.
Sentiment score
5.1
WALLIX Bastion requires improvements in security features, password management, user interface, and licensing for better performance and efficiency.
Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days.
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.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
Users report varied experiences with ManageEngine Password Manager Pro's scalability, noting both challenges and effective use in expanding data centers.
Sentiment score
7.7
WALLIX Bastion offers scalable asset management from one platform, widely used by banks, despite scaling challenges in mergers.
Bastion is not built for certain types of scaling, such as when a company buys another company and wants to use the same Bastion.
 

Setup Cost

No sentiment score available
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cost-effective for enterprises, with a 25,000 rands fee, compared favorably to competitors.
No sentiment score available
WALLIX Bastion provides flexible, cost-effective licensing with quick setup, offering asset or user-based options for adaptable pricing.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
9.3
Users find ManageEngine Password Manager Pro stable, reliable, easy to recover, and praise its performance and dependability.
Sentiment score
7.9
WALLIX Bastion is highly stable and reliable for large organizations, though it offers fewer features than top PAM systems.
CyberArk is not completely stable as it depends on internet connection and architecture.
 

Valuable Features

No sentiment score available
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro provides secure, user-friendly password management with strong features, direct machine login, and auditing capabilities.
Sentiment score
8.7
WALLIX Bastion provides secure, agentless privileged access management with browser-based operation, seamless integration, and advanced auditing features.
The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable.
Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer.
