Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."The solution's technical support is good."
"It's relatively straightforward to set up, especially if you are deploying to the cloud."
"It has some features that other products don't have yet, differentiation that sets it apart in the marketplace... Those features are a centralized dashboard and the ability to issue and revoke entitlements within minutes. That makes a difference."
"The asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"One of the valuable features is the absence of any local user in a unique system. All users are defined in the AD; communication is only between Unix and AD."
"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"Governance."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"There are three types of endpoints. If we need to use them in the solution, then we need to purchase the licenses separately. The tool needs to improve its licensing."
"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"The product should improve its price."
"Reports to the end user."
"The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler. It would be helpful if the solution had in-app tutorials for users to look at as they progress through the system. Sometimes we get lost and need to go back to check what exactly the function was. There should be small hints around major key functions. It would go a long way in speeding up the deployment process."
"They are doing good for now, but they should start to consider tight integration with Mac solutions. There should be more integration with Mac. There should be Active Directory (AD) Bridging. Thycotic and Centrify have it currently because they merged and joined forces, and it was a feature available in Centrify. So, basically, they joined forces to create a kind of perfect product. If you have a hybrid or mixed environment with Windows and Mac, your Active Directory can only manage or enforce policies on Windows, but what about your Mac devices? How do you control them? So, AD Bridging will act as a bridge to bring all your Mac devices into your Active Directory. This way you have full control over your entire environment."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"There are several areas for improvement in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. They have no proper documentation on how to do backups. They also have a lengthy workflow process where we have to make some configurations to manage automation in the rules and in our tasks which takes time. We have to manually configure all the configuration files, and we cannot export users because there's no export system in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. What we'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for them to make configuration and integration with other systems their top priorities. We have many API systems to manage, so hopefully, if they make these enhancements shortly, we can directly connect with our API systems when using Symantec Identity Governance and Administration."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"The directory has room for improvement. Also, the dashboards and, in particular, the KPI dashboard that shows the current user’s information needs reworking."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
