While CyberArk follows an á la carte model for its features, requiring separate licenses for essential capabilities like access governance, session management, and secrets management, PAM360 packs all these capabilities into one comprehensive suite. This means you get everything you need in one place, tailored for your PAM needs regardless of the scale of your enterprise and its PAM maturity level.
PAM360 was built from scratch, so everything works smoothly together by design rather than being pieced together after acquisitions. We were the first to offer native, end-to-end certificate lifecycle management inside a PAM platform, covering SSL/TLS, SSH, and PGP without requiring extra add-ons. CyberArk’s acquisition of Venafi, and later Palo Alto’s acquisition of CyberArk, reflect the broader consolidation trend in security. But consolidation isn’t always ideal for products that protect passwords, where focus, stability, and tight control really matter. It can also lead to pricing changes, potential disruptions in the environments where the software runs, and slower product release cycles as teams work to integrate roadmaps and platforms.
At ManageEngine, we reinvest about 50% of our revenue into R&D, which is why our portfolio delivers a rich set of native integrations and features without relying on acquisitions. This keeps the platform cohesive and predictable at scale, helping customers maintain a clutter-free security stack, avoid vendor fatigue, and preserve stability in sensitive environments where simplicity and reliability are non-negotiable.


At a time when enterprise-wide privileged access security is fast becoming a mandate, CyberArk's inherent deployment complexities—requiring additional hardware investments and dedicated implementation specialists—may hamper your ability to integrate privileged access management with your business workflows.
PAM360 demonstrates value with its ease of implementation, administration, and use. With PAM360, you can hit the ground running within six to eight weeks, thereby realizing faster return on your investments. Further, with PAM360's single-touch workflow orchestration controls, you can effortlessly weave privileged access routines into your business processes.
CyberArk implementations are lengthy and expensive. Throw in longer lock-in periods and an array of overpriced add-ons—a perfect recipe for an ROI disaster, which will not only end up draining your IT resources but will also spiral your security investments into an endless implementation cycle.
PAM360 is purposely designed to be simple, fully functional, and free of frills and last minute surprises. With ManageEngine's transparent pricing schedule and comprehensive offerings, your enterprise can find the perfect fit for PAM your needs without being hindered by these barriers.


ManageEngine has championed building and delivering cutting-edge IT management solutions across domains—IAM, ITSM, SIEM, cloud security, ITOM, endpoint security—for over two decades.
On average, every ManageEngine PAM customer uses at least five different solutions from our IT management platform. Even with multi-solution licenses and professional services combined, our customers still spend only a fraction of their IT budget, which is significantly lower than they would spend for the same league of offerings from CyberArk.
