Reasons for Switching to Heimdal Privileged Access Management

Price, we will probably eventually move over to intune as we want to manage solely through intune but for now and the next couple years we will use heimdal

Pros

Overall its very easy to deploy Heimdal products, if you already use Heimdal its as simple as enabling the feature in the GP, and you're good to go.

Cons

The user experience leaves something to be desired in comparison to Admin By Request, users needs to right-click a file to run it with Heimdal PAM, with ABR its inline as soon as the exe is run. There is also no mobile app that support SAML logins for admins.

Pros

Easy to support the users of the organisation.
With the app and dashboard it is easy and quick to give privileges to the users that need it.

Cons

It takes a bit of time to get used to the dashboard and find your way around. But after a short while, this is easily to get the hang off.

It can be a bit difficult for the end-user to discover the feature from the dashboard

Nothing to dislike about the product.
Did not encounter any issues while using it.

Pros

The ability to downgrade the users to standard users remotely and elevate them remotely when required - to install an application.

Cons

The interface and language used - are clunky and unintuitive. They confuse users with the prompts and language used and the interface is confusing.

Pros

The ease of deployment and maintenance of the product

Cons

Targeting GP's to specific users and devices can prove tricky, an OU filter option would help.

Pros

Ease of use and deployment. Fast and competent support.

Cons

There are no immediate disadvantages to using PAM

Pros

It's removing all administrators from the administrative group and disabling administrator. And for users, its easy to elevate.

Cons

Cant exclude a particular user from the Heimdal until that user is part of the existing administrative group. We can create PAM admin but can't limit it to a particular location. But while excluding a user. Need to exclude the user via CSV import option. Group policy update took a long time after the administrator allowed the elevation.

Pros

the system is easy to use and very friendly

Cons

i have nothing to say that is bad or to change my dicision

Pros

Integration of Privilege Access Management & Application Control. Great support!

Cons

It would be nice to have the same options for MacOS as they have for Windows

Pros

Is easy to use. I like the feature that it allows you to revoke admin rights on machines, without having to remote on them and make a more time-consuming work.

Cons

When typing the “Reason for elevation”, it doesn’t take the Enter. You have to press using the mouse on the button that it has to offer, which is a little bit less efficient, but that is all.

Pros

With only a click of a button, I can get admin rights on the machine.

Cons

Some functionalities need a reboot in order to apply, but that is ok. Many similar software are behaving the same way.

Pros

The product is very easy to use. With just a click of a button, I have admin rights on the machine.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind about what is wrong with this product.
