Hicham Barnoussi - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Pros

"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
"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 solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"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."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
 

Cons

"Product management should be improved."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"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."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
