Wallix is friendly in use but hard for reporting.

What differentiates WALLIX Bastion from other similar products?

Monitoring part is best in Wallix bastion. It gives you the opportunity to download the entire session and you can even check the log parallel according to your suitability.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Authorisations part as we were getting options to connect with specific authorisation and the authorisation will work only when the approver has approved your session.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Reporting part is very laggy and very much improvement is required to make the product more suitable and easy to work

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For a small organisation Wallix bastion is capable of handling the things but for a big organisation product needs improvement.

Reliable PAM solution with SIEM integration

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates WALLIX Bastion from other similar products?

Wallix Bastion stands out from its competitors due to its ability to provide tailored workflows, AI-based analysis, and smooth integration with legacy systems. The solution also offers versatile deployment choices and robust user activity monitoring, leading to improved threat identification and resolution.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of Wallix Bastion is its ability to monitor and record all privileged sessions, allowing administrators to quickly identify any suspicious activity or potential security breaches. The system also includes a variety of access controls, including multi-factor authentication, password management, and role-based access controls, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Wallix Bastion's user interface can be quite complex. While the solution provides a robust set of features and functionality, we find the interface a bit difficult to navigate and our IT department required additional training to effectively use the system.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Its always important for the IT department and management to discuss the company's specific needs for a PAM solution. Also, it is important to review your existing infrastructure to ensure that Wallix will integrate properly. Finally, as with all purchases, you should review pricing and the size of your company as Wallix Bastion is an enterprise level software, it can be quite expensive.
