Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."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 privileged access management into sensitive systems is very valuable. That includes control from the endpoint all the way through to the managing of passwords and credentials that are used by the person to access the sensitive information. It's very useful, because nobody ever really maintains passwords for those endpoint systems. It's maintained in the Dropbox password file."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"The product is secure."
"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."
"I would say session management on the go is the most valuable feature. When the session is going on, you can stop the session without terminating it for justification. You can cancel it. The recording takes very little space. Those are some things which the customers are worried about when they talk about session recording."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."
"FortiAuthenticator is a very good solution. It is all jury-based. FortiAuthenticator is very easy for anyone to understand how it works and be able to take action."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it easy to install. The user experience is very good."
"FortiAuthenticator is really good software that integrates very well with Fortinet products."
"We have a perpetual license for 2FA."
"The implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"Simple to deploy, simple to use, and user-friendly."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in having the solution align more with standards. We're always shoehorning the product into the standards. It's not that it doesn't work for standards, it does. But Quick Start Policies are pretty close to what we need. The vendor needs to keep looking at GDPR, 27001, and 27701. That's why our clients buy the product."
"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."
"The other area to improve is that they rely on MS SQL servers only. You cannot have any other database behind them. They have to be on MS SQL. If they can do something about these issues, this would be a better alternative for some customers."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"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."
"It keeps on breaking every now and then. It is not yet mature. Every time something new comes up or we run into some new issues, the culprit is BeyondTrust because the agents and the adapter are not mature. The new development process goes on, and they're not able to handle things. It should be mature. It shouldn't break every now and then."
"Improvements in the product could start from the dashboard, overall customization, and configuration."
"The customization capability of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is not very flexible."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"There is room for improvement in stability and support."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
