Top reasons why PAM360 is the ideal fit for your modern access management needs

  • CyberArk alternative

    PAM360 delivers 219% ROI across enterprise deployments

    PAM360 delivers a documented 219% return on investment, with payback achieved in under four months and $323,742 accumulated in savings in over three years. Customers have consistently rated PAM360 a 10/10 for economic fit, reflecting how quickly the platform begins delivering value after deployment.

    Simply put, for every dollar spent, organizations see more than three dollars in return, making PAM360 not just a security upgrade, but a sound business decision. You know what you are paying for, what you are getting, and what the returns look like, unlike cases where the real cost only becomes clear once professional services, add-on modules, and multi-year lock-ins start stacking up.

  • Built from the ground up, not acquired

    For over 20 years, ManageEngine has been part of Zoho Corporation, a 28-year-old, privately-held and profitable organization that has stayed true to the notion of building trust through persistent R&D. Our products evolve together, designed with a unified vision to seamlessly integrate and deliver long-term value without any dependency on third-party acquisitions. This commitment has earned the trust of 5,000+ enterprises worldwide who rely on us not just for the offerings, but for the assurance of stability, transparency, and continuity.

    Today's privileged access management landscape clearly paints a picture that trust is not built on valuation or market share; it is built on predictability. In the recent past, CyberArk, despite its longer market presence, has taken a course defined by acquisitions. From Zilla to Venafi to now being an acquisition of Palo Alto Networks itself, CyberArk has entered a phase of transition that inevitably brings uncertainty. With two big names coming together, each with its own strategy for product roadmaps and messaging, enterprises are left with questions about continuity, support, and offerings.

    A comprehensive PAM platform with all the essentials

    The way a PAM platform is packaged says a lot about how predictable its long-term value will be. CyberArk continues to fragment its capabilities under an á la carte model, introducing separate licenses for fundamental features like access governance, PEDM, session management, and secrets management.

    PAM360, on the other hand, delivers all of these capabilities as part of one unified platform with no hidden costs. Whether your enterprise is just beginning its PAM journey or operating at peak maturity, PAM360 scales seamlessly to meet it where it is without forcing your enterprise to weave a solution from disparate products.

  • Extending privileged access security to your machine identities

    Machine identity management in PAM360 provides a native and unified governance for nonhuman entities, including certificates, SSH keys, and application credentials. This ensures that access to every digital identity, whether human or machine, is routed through a streamlined workflow.

    CyberArk supports machine identity management as a paid offering through Venafi, an acquisition. This means extra licensing topped with the added burden of navigating two different support channels for an imperative security capability. In contrast, instead of packaging a machine identity management module as an add-on, PAM360 builds it in as an imperative control layer without a single additional dollar or integration hassle.

    Easy to deploy and simple to use

    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 use, implementation, and administration. 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.

    The result? PAM360 helps enterprises establish a solid 219% ROI with a rapid four-month payback period. That is not a retention number propped up by lock-in mechanics. It is value that shows up early and compounds over time.

  • Transparency that goes beyond pricing

    Transparency with ManageEngine is not just confined to our pricing; it is our modus operandi at every stage of the business. From publicly available documents and roadmaps to comprehensive product demos and clear implementation timelines, you can stay informed about every major update from us.

    On the other hand, CyberArk's approach tells a different story. Their implementations are lengthy and expensive. This includes unannounced longer lock-in periods and an array of overpriced add-ons, a perfect recipe for an ROI disaster. This will not only drain your IT resources, but 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 make informed decisions at every stage, right from evaluation to deployment.

    Not just that, on average, every ManageEngine PAM customer uses two or more solutions from our IT management platform. Even with multisolution 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.

    PAM360 alternative to CyberArk

    A cohesive, future-ready IAM ecosystem with no change of hands

    CyberArk today stands at a crossroads. Its IAM portfolio is a collection of acquired products, each running on a different architecture. This reality is now compounded by its move under Palo Alto Networks, where CyberArk must not only integrate newly acquired technologies, but do so while aligning with Palo Alto Networks' broader platform vision. This translates to uncertainty around product roadmaps, support structures, and long-term strategic direction during a critical integration period, paving the way to greater coordination overhead, uncertain product direction, and slower innovation cycles.

    ManageEngine IAM solution takes a steady and strategic route. It offers a seamlessly unified IAM suite spanning privileged access, identity governance, single sign-on, access analytics, and beyond. Every component is built in-house to ensure consistent experiences, faster rollouts, and measurable ROI across the entire identity life cycle.
