Overview

Product Information on PAM360

Updated 13th October 2025

What is PAM360?

PAM360 is a software developed by ManageEngine that focuses on privileged access management for IT environments. The software provides capabilities for managing and controlling privileged accounts, enabling organizations to secure and automate the process of granting, monitoring, and auditing access to critical resources. PAM360 supports password management, session monitoring, access request workflows, and compliance reporting. It integrates with various IT systems to facilitate centralized oversight of privileged access, helping organizations address security risks related to sensitive account credentials and reducing the chances of unauthorized access. PAM360 aids in streamlining access governance and ensuring regulatory compliance in enterprise networks.

PAM360 Pricing

PAM360 software uses a subscription-based pricing model with different tiers based on the number of resources, privileged accounts, and users managed. The software is offered in both on-premises and cloud deployment options, and pricing may vary depending on the feature set, deployment type, and term of subscription or license. Annual maintenance and support are also part of the pricing structure.

“PAM360 - Granular Security Features Balance Auditability With Ease of Use for Teams”

5.0
Jan 27, 2026
Overall, my experience has been solid and pragmatic. It's not a flashy "slideware" PAM product, but it does what a PAM solution is supposed to do: give you control, visibility and auditability over privileged access without turning daily operations into a bureaucratic nightmare. If I were to compare it to other enterprise-grade solutions / PAM tools, it is very approachable and usable for our teams. Deployment and onboarding are straightforward, and the UI is intuitive enough that both security and infra teams can work without having to invest weeks of training into junior / mid staff. What mattered most for our real-world use case, and in my opinion, saved us from a lot of trouble, was the credential vaulting and the session recording features, which were very easy to explain to auditors.

“Effective for Initial Deployment but Advanced PAM Scenarios Not Fully Supported”

3.0
Aug 20, 2025
We use PAM360 to secure and monitor privileged accesses to our Coporate servers. I believe this solution works very well for initial PAM implementation since it is easy to deploy and maintain. However, as our PAM program evolves, we are exploring more advances alternatives to better align with our new PAM requirements.

PAM360 Likes & Dislikes

Like

From a security ops standpoint / perspective, the granularity of access control just stands out. I love the fact that I am able to tightly scope privileged access, rotate credentials automatically and review the recorded sessions, which provides a strong balance between operational efficiency and security. We all know the struggle to make things as secure as possible and as easy to understand for our users. If you just want to pass a compliance check, do not acquire this product. If you want to run secure systems daily and feel like this is designed just for that, buy this product. And as for value for money. Compared to larger vendors, PAM360 offers lots at a great cost, which is very practical for mid-to-large organizations who do not need the enterprise pricing Reaper Drone hovering over their heads.

Like

- Easy to deploy and maintain - This solution is very cost-effective comparing to other PAM products - It can be operated with minimal training

Like

Deep, native integration with the ManageEngine Ecosystem and IT Infrastructure, which allows for more automation using APIs and workflows. Granular session control and recording allow for forensic assurance. In our organisation, this ensures that we can monitor for misuse and privilege creep. Strong workflow governance and least privilege enforcement enable a zero standing privilege model where access is requested, approved, and expires automatically.

Dislike

Advanced use cases require more manual effort for fine-tuning than I was expecting. Setting up granular role-based access with time-bound approvals and just-in-time access can become quite heavy for smaller teams.

Dislike

- The solution capabilities are limited if you need to implement advanced PAM scenarios - The REST API does not allow to automate operational tasks. For whatever reason, the API access is denied for Super Administrator (by design) - The tool does not have any monitoring mechanism to flag a privileged session as suspicious/malicious - PAM360 does not audit keystrokes executed during the privilege session (only take a video recording)

Dislike

ManageEngine products have a history of frequent minor updates and occasional critical security advisories, which increases operational overhead. The web design is somewhat dated and unintuitive, which has led to slower adoption.
