About Admin By Request

Admin By Request is a cybersecurity solution designed to make comprehensive security simple. Our main goal is to enable enterprises to lock down administrative privileges across all endpoints by revoking local admin rights - while still providing means for end users to gain elevated privileges when they need it. Once local admin rights are removed based on user or group, end users are still able to gain elevated privileges when they need it via the self-service endpoint application. Privileges can be elevated per app (single app elevation), or for a set period of time (session elevation). All elevated activity undertaken by the user while they have elevated privileges is logged in the Admin By Request Auditlog, which can be accessed via a user-friendly online Admin Po...

PROS

it has all of the features required from a PAM solution. the portal is very intuitive and easy to understand and the deployment is super easy. there are no issues with the software like glitches or bugs.the agent is very small (under 2 MB) and doesn't generate performance issues on devices.you can pre-approve software, and deploy and approval mechanism. you can even revoke admin rights for Helpdesk teams but leave them an easy to use elevation method.

CONS

blocking elevation of child process for pre-approved software.

Reasons for switching to Admin By Request

A tool that improves security and makes life easier!

Easy to buy, easy to use, low pressure sales team. It's amazing to find a tool that does what it's supposed to at a reasonable price!

PROS

Easy to use, easy to setup, so much easier to authorize admin requests than having to remote in and type in credentials.

CONS

The only downside is we didn't implement it years earlier.

Reason for choosing Admin By Request

AdminByRequest was easy to implement on our own, which meant we learned the tool a lot better than when we pay for an implementation team.

CONS

Sometimes the interface for the console feels a little bulky

A must for higher Education

We had a lot of users at the university with local admin rights. There are so many different departments that use different software and are always in need of updates. Having Admin by Request allows us to manage admin rights, and we do it all remotely using the app on phones to grant permission. We recommend Admin by Request to any organization that wants to keep their network secure by denying local admin rights.

PROS

What we like most is the flexibility. We are able to use ABR off campus through our cell phones to grant requests. Also the price point for the software is excellent and helps us make the decision to renew every year!

CONS

I know this may sound crazy, but we have yet to see any cons at this point. This could change down the road, but as of now there is not any.

Easiest way to achieve zero-trust on your endpoints

Everything from pre-sales to purchasing and support has been a pleasure. We have in a very short time eliminated all local admin accounts on all endpoints (including the previously fixed ones, used by IT-support).

PROS

Easy and fast deployment, great feature set (including mobile apps for admins, break glass accounts, integrated SSO (and MFA), AI approval) its all something we did't have before, and its made our security posture and administration of local admin permissions so much easier. From purchase to fully implemented a total of 2 weeks passed, including testing.

CONS

None i can think of really, it does what it does great.

Reasons for switching to Admin By Request

Features of Admin By Request like support assist, SSO / MFA integration, mobile app and AI approval.
