The Product Value Navigator study conducted by KuppingerCole in 2025 is an in-depth analysis of PAM360, based on detailed customer interviews and structured value assessment of a representative global organization using the platform for privileged access management. The study quantifies business value, cost efficiencies, and risk reduction, highlighting the tangible operational and financial outcomes enterprises achieve with PAM360.
How PAM360 translated into measurable business value for enterprises
Privileged access was brought under consistent control by replacing scattered admin accounts and ad-hoc processes with a single governance layer. This improved visibility into who had access, why it was granted, and how it was used across systems, workloads, and environments.
Security teams reduced exposure by removing long-lived privileges and introducing time-bound, approval-driven access. Session monitoring and recording created a clear trail of accountability, which changed how incidents were investigated and how access decisions were justified internally.
Operational effort dropped as credential rotation, synchronization, and policy enforcement were automated. Tasks that previously required manual coordination or periodic cleanups became part of continuous workflows, reducing both errors and maintenance overhead.
Audit preparation shifted from a reactive exercise to a structured process. Access records, session data, and detailed logs of all privileged operations were readily available, cutting down the time spent gathering evidence and responding to compliance requests.
Security and IT teams reclaimed time by automating access requests, reviews, and incident investigations. The results included faster responses, better control, and more capacity to focus on proactive security initiatives.
By consolidating multiple point solutions into a single platform, organizations reduced tool sprawl, lowered licensing and operational costs, and gained a clearer view of privileged risk across the enterprise.
Beyond operational efficiency, customers reported tangible gains in compliance maturity, stronger security postures, and a measurable reduction in external hardware load.
