Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management vs. OPSWAT MetaDefender Comparison Chart

Pros

• Admin By Request lets us remove standing local admin rights without hurting productivity. Users can request elevation when they need it, and approval workflows and detailed audit logs give us full visibility into what was elevated, by whom, and why. Deployment was straightforward, the cloud portal is easy to navigate, and it covers both Windows and Mac. The audit trail has also made it much easier to show least-privilege controls to auditors.
• Cost-effective at our small-to-mid-sized team compared to enterprise EPM platforms Supports both macOS and Windows from one console. Linux and Windows Server support is also available, though we manage our servers separately. Simple deployment: we pushed the Workstation MSI through MDM with no issues Works alongside our existing stack (MDM, anti-malware, IAM, ticketing system) without replacing anything Auto-approved software library made removing local admin rights painless for staff Elevation request audit trail provides useful least-privilege evidence for security audits
• I like how easy it is to approve requests for admin requests and sessions. The ability to receive a push notification is beautiful. I love that there is an easy solution for users that don't have internet access as well. We did a demo of other similar software as well, and the software does not appear to handle offline users nearly as easy and intuitive as your software does.
• It has been pretty easy to set up and use. It lets users get admin access when they need it without us having to give them permanent admin rights. It also gives IT more control over what users are installing.
• Admin By Request provides a practical way to manage local administrator privileges without permanently giving users elevated access. It allows IT to maintain better control over endpoints while still giving users a straightforward way to request elevation when they legitimately need it. The approval process, auditing, and visibility into elevation requests are especially useful from an administrative and security perspective. It has helped us balance security with usability without creating unnecessary work for the IT team.
