CyberArk Privileged Account Security vs Passly from ID Agent, a Kaseya company (formerly AuthAnvil)

Likelihood to Recommend

The system is great for enterprise or larger IT departments or teams where temporary or full access may be given using privileged IDs. Requirements for needing local admin access is also eliminated which can help with specific Windows workstation related tasks. It can be very useful when working with remote teams or contractors who may need temporary access to a system when required.

Pros

Automatically discover new servers on the network and take control of the local admin password by vaulting it and ensuring nobody knows the password. A different password on every server.
Automatically roll the password in a configurable manner - after each use, after a certain period of time, etc.
Track and govern sensitive account usage by ensuring only properly authorized users can access the vault and obtain the credentials and then monitor usage.

Cons

GUI - right now everything is on one page/dashboard. Some level of folder/Safe type view would be great
More options when storing passwords - especially for network based passwords
Better integrations with vendors like Cisco so that admins dont need to really get the password from the vault (think Last Pass type add on)

Based on 3 answers

They are very helpful with helping us with any issues. There are a lot of helpful guides online if you get lost. Kaseya is also good about not bugging you with notifications. Kaseya offers easy to access to support options. Overall I have not had to contact them over a lot of issues. The software rarely broke or was down for maintenance.

Alternatives Considered

It is known as one of the safest products in the market. It has good support and is also available as on-premise. You can run it virtually on VMWare (and probably on other hypervisors as well). You can have a second instance on bare metal and that makes it a very safe system.

I am currently testing Okta as well. Okta seems to have a lot more functionality. They have integrations with mostly every SaaS around. They have a smoother Windows 2FA that includes push notifications and Yubikey integration. AuthAnvil is the only 2FA service available for Kaseya VSA, so that is why we are currently still using it.

AuthAnvil was a solution that "checked a compliance box" for our organization. It did not drive any particular business objectives other than compliance with those regulations/requirements.
We have since replaced AuthAnvil as our 2 Factor Authentication app of choice as it did not provide enough value to offset the administrative overhead involved.
