Privileged Access Management Reviews and Ratings

What are Privileged Access Management ?

Gartner defines privileged access management (PAM) as tools that provide an elevated level of technical access through the management and protection of accounts, credentials and commands, which are used to administer or configure systems and applications. PAM tools — available as software, SaaS or hardware appliances — manage privileged access for both people (system administrators and others) and machines (systems or applications). Gartner defines four distinct tool categories for PAM tools: privileged account and session management (PASM), privilege elevation and delegation management (PEDM), secrets management, and cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM).

Managing multiple servers conveniently from a single login. IP identification and domain names in the front end interface to quickly identify different servers. A simple User Interface is useful for efficient server management. Ability to monitor user activity through video and command logs which allows us to track super admins behavior. Real-time monitoring by providing visibility into on-going sessions. Multi-Admin approval adds an extra layer of security to ensure unauthorized access and responsible management. Integration with Vulnerability Assessment tool will flag identified security gaps and address at prompt. Simplifies all server access without the use of traditional authentication methods such as passwords.

"The best experience in PAM solution."

senhasegura, unlike other solutions I have worked with, has a very intuitive and simple interface to operate on a daily basis, making the process of adding new credentials an fixing problems faster and more assertive. What impresses me most about the solution is how easy it to create and configure new connctions to servers, whatever they may be. I also need to emphasize here the nimbleness in the support provided by Projects' and Support's team whenever we contacted them, which means that we always have an exceptional SLA service.

"Overall smooth deployment in a large complex mixed environment including Linux"

Well-supported, well-designed, not buggy, slick, reasonably well-documented and reps provide solid, competent support. Easy to use considering the complexity of the objective, and reasonably feature- and option-rich making it flexible and adaptable to varied, complex environments. Very scalable with lots of automation and API integration opportunities. I participated in a deployment and use the product now day-to-day. We had a 3rd-party consultant assist us, although I did interact with their rep for Privileged Remote Access that also leverages PasswordSafe in the back. Worked well with existing Linux FreeIPA environment, preserving complex sudo rules. What could improve is full documentation could simply be made public so AI can conveniently search and no tedious login account required. Also MFA is obviously essential on the portal even hosted internally because regular unrotated unprivileged credentials must of course be used to access it lest one get locked-out, and these credentials are most liable to be stolen, however to get MFA integrating with EntraID SAML must be used and forms login disabled, which degrades the user experience because upon idle timeout the form is displayed, not the SAML link. Does not support OpenStack. It could offer more LDAP fields to map accounts between LDAP and AD in Smart Rules that automate account onbaording.

Frequently Asked Questions

helpWhat are the core capabilities of Privileged Access Management tools?

PAM tools control privileged access for machines (systems or applications) for internal or machine-to-machine communication, and for people who administer or configure systems and applications. Some examples of core capabilities / features include:

  • Discovery of privileged accounts across multiple systems, infrastructure, and applications.

  • Credential management for privileged accounts.

  • Session establishment, management, monitoring, and recording for interactive privileged access.

  • Controlled elevation of commands for Unix/Linux and Windows.

  • Secrets management for applications, service, and devices.


helpWhat does deploying a PAM tool require?

Deploying a PAM tool properly requires two major things: A clear understanding of where the privileged accounts are (with a roadmap to secure them) and organizational process change to maximize the effectiveness of privileged access controls.


helpWhat are the best practices for Privileged Access Management (PAM) deployment?

One of the top drivers for PAM is to protect the business by reducing the attack surface. To succeed in PAM goals, organizations should focus on the following practices:

  • Track and secure every privileged account.

  • Govern and control access.

  • Record and audit privileged activity.

  • Operationalize privileged tasks.


helpHow many approaches are there available for privileged access management?

There are three distinct tool categories that highlight different PAM solutions. These categories include privileged account and session management (PASM), privilege elevation and delegation management (PEDM), and secrets management.

  • PASM: Passwords and other credentials for privileged accounts are actively managed, such as being changed at definable intervals or on the occurrence of specific events. PASM solutions can also manage (rotate) credentials for service accounts.

  • PEDM: Specific privileges are granted on the managed system by host-based agents to logged-in users. PEDM tools provide host-based command control (filtering) and privilege elevation for servers while they can also offer features for file integrity monitoring.

  • Secrets Management: Secrets management is often used in agile environments such as IaaS (Infrastructure as a service), PaaS (Platform as a service), or container management platforms. While it manages and stores credentials such as passwords through APIs and software development kits (SDKs), it can also provide application-to-application password management (AAPM).


helpWhat do Peer Insights reviewers recommend to implement PAM solutions?

Peer Insights reviewers share their experiences and highlight what advice they would give to other prospective customers. Below are some of the top recommendations:

  • List key PAM requirements across business units and obtain executive sponsorship.

  • Choose a PAM tool by balancing the required combination of use cases and conducting POCs.

  • Foster PAM skills prior to the implementation of the tool.

  • Modernize the existing IT stack and leverage the expertise of professional services to deploy the tool.
