Ekran System

Ekran System has built the most granular insider threat and session monitoring capability in this PAM comparison, extending well beyond the video recording that traditional PAM vendors offer into genuine behavioural activity alerting. The 4.7 G2 rating from 41 reviews and the strong Gartner Peer Insights score reflect real customer satisfaction with deployment simplicity and monitoring depth, particularly for organisations that need close oversight of third-party vendors and contractors accessing their systems.

The honest positioning is that Ekran is a monitoring-first platform that happens to include PAM capability, rather than a vaulting-first PAM platform with monitoring added on. Credential vaulting and JIT access work but are clearly secondary to the monitoring focus, and there is no Gartner Magic Quadrant presence to validate it against formal enterprise PAM requirements.

The verdict: Ekran System is right for organisations where insider threat detection and detailed session monitoring of third-party or contractor access is the primary driver. Organisations whose primary need is credential vaulting depth across complex enterprise infrastructure should evaluate CyberArk or Delinea instead.
