Avatier Identity Anywhere vs. ManageEngine Password Manager Pro

Ease of use and a very customer focused catalog process. Would like service now functionality implemented with the tool so teams can user 1 work tool to work from. The access governance process is very well designed and extremely useful for our organization to be able to identify users that have the inappropriate access levels for their current roles

It's great for any company that relies on active-directory as their primary source of user password authentication and other data. It's ability to integrate with a host of other tools such as Google Workspace, Azure AD (if you aren't using ADFS/DirSync/etc.), FreshService, Trello, etc. as well local apps like Postgres, i/AS400, and more make it a great middleware tool for SS.

• It allows users to reset their passwords on their own.
• It allows our users to request access to VPN and shared drive on their own.
• It allows us to terminate accounts quickly and easily.

• PMP is great for sorting passwords into different groups depending on the category of application access. This makes it easy to find the password that you are looking for.
• Application credentials can easily be saved to the clipboard to make it easier to copy and paste them into the appropriate log in screen.
• Different types of credentials for the same application can be stored next to each other and are easy to distinguish by the icon next to the name. For example, SSH credentials, web credentials, and local root credentials are all easy to sort under one application group.

• The only issue I have come across is that if a user begins to reset their password, but doesn't remember all of their security questions, sometimes the tool triggers a reset even if they didn't successfully reset themselves. This becomes a problem in an environment that has password complexity requirements, such as not being able to change your password again within a 24 hour period.

• There is no flexibility in how accounts are grouped.
• The implementation of lowest privilege means you cannot use groups for assigning role based security. If you give a team read access, and a limited subset of the team write access, the read access supersedes write.
• Some versions have been fragile. There have been times where the server has stopped working and needed a restart daily/weekly. Read the issues resolved in updates. There have been some critical failures in security over the years (i.e. unauthorized access possible by URL manipulation).

We are reasonably pleased with the support and updates that we received from the vendor,

At the time that we implemented the solution Avatier appeared to be the best solution and has continued to meet our needs in this space

We evaluated one on-premise solution, Password Manager Pro, one cloud-based solution called Passwordstate to store all sensitive password information and also secure notes. The latter was licensed by users, so we knew as the team grew it would cost quite a lot more to maintain. We wanted access for various users within the information technology and systems department at a granular level to have separation of the various passwords into categories which we then give permission relevant for the right users.

• The main positive is the number of calls into our help desk or LAN team have gone down to a few calls a week; instead of the masses going to them on a daily basis.

• Reduce our overall cost of ownership thanks to this affordable password tool
• Reduce time spent in the process or on tasks to remind a password to change or to apply policy directly integrated with the tool
• Improve security through complexity and auto-regeneration
• Improve change control for account passwords inside RFC process
