Compare Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management vs. ConsoleWorks

Admin By Request EPM is an endpoint privilege management solution for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It removes permanent local admin rights and grants elevation only when a task requires it, so a compromised account can't take over an entire system. Elevation applies to applications rather than user accounts, and privileges can be delegated by user or group to fit developers, general staff, and third-party contractors alike. Threat and behavioral analytics identify risky users, assets, and software, and every session is logged for auditing. The solution runs from a single portal, works online or offline, and requires no additional servers or databases.

ConsoleWorks serves as a comprehensive platform for cybersecurity and operations in both IT and OT environments, specifically tailored for users with privileged access. It provides secure and continuous remote access along with comprehensive management of user permissions, allowing businesses to govern access across operating systems, network devices, configuration ports, servers, storage systems, applications, and more, all governed by a centralized, role-based access control framework. Notably, ConsoleWorks functions without the need for agent installation on each device; it creates a persistent, secure connection that remains effective regardless of whether the asset is powered on or off or whether the operating system is running, thereby offering out-of-band control and insight. The platform meticulously tracks and logs every privileged action right down to the keystroke, ensuring ongoing auditing, session recording, monitoring of configurations, tracking of patches and assets, and automatic identification of any configuration changes. This level of detail not only enhances security but also promotes accountability and compliance across the organization.
