ManageEngine PAM360
PAM360 is ManageEngine's privileged access management product, part of the broader Zoho / ManageEngine IT management suite.

Pros
- Significantly cheaper than enterprise competitors
- Solid feature coverage for mid-market PAM needs
- Strong bundle value if you already use ManageEngine tools
- Perpetual licensing still available
Cons
- UI and admin experience feel dated
- Fewer integrations with modern DevOps tooling
- Support quality can be inconsistent
- Less suitable for highly complex enterprise estates
Pricing: From ~$7,000/year for 10 admins (published perpetual and subscription options)
