Description

Privileged Identity/Access Management, Niche or Not?

This IDC Market Note is a companion document to IDC's recently published January 2022 Privileged Access Management (PAM) Survey permitting IDC to interpret and inject more color or opinion around survey findings and relating them to recent market developments. Most vendors want to win the identity war — privileged or not — and help an organization's people just do their assigned jobs without compromising a power grid or killing access to critical infrastructure resources. Granting privilege is an art form, but some are satisfied with starving artists watercolors that fill a space, and others seek out works more worthy of the look or the investment required.The need for identity privilege absolutely exists. Help organizations implement it properly and reap the benefits of loyalty and a control point within such accounts; but remember, professional services are often required and a well-trained channel can help extend your reach.

Please Note: Extended description available upon request.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
