Why Securden is the Best Arcon Alternative?
Securden Unified PAM removes the complexity barrier that comes with other PAM solutions like Arcon. Here’s three reasons why:
1. Ease of Implementation
Securden Unified PAM was built to break the complexity that often comes with traditional Privileged Access Management solutions in the market. Implementation does not require a dedicated team, additional resources, or extra payment. Customers can move to production within 2 weeks, reinforcing the time-to-value of this solution.
2. Comprehensive Customization Capabilities
Unified PAM is made to be tailored to the requirements of any enterprise. The customization capabilities allow the solution to do exactly what the IT teams require it to do. Every feature has additional configuration options that can be modified without any additional help from the technical team.
3. Lower Resource Overhead – Reduced Cost
Securden comes in a single package with everything bundled including the backend database – and does not require multiple servers for installation & deployment. The product also offers all major PAM capabilities in a single interface without requiring multiple segmented modules that need to be integrated with each other post installation.
