Symantec PAM vs. StrongDM

Symantec PAM is designed to prevent security breaches by protecting sensitive administrative credentials, controlling privileged user access, proactively enforcing security policies, and monitoring and recording privileged user activity across virtual, cloud, and physical environments. The solution provides a privileged credential vault, session recording, threat analytics, host-based access control for mission-critical servers, and application-to-application password management to address non-human actors, such as applications, configuration files, and scripts.

StrongDM is the leader in Zero Trust PAM. We are a policy-based platform that enables precise control over privileged actions and grants secure, compliant, frustration-free access to all critical infrastructure. End users enjoy fast, intuitive, and auditable access to the resources they need, and administrators leverage simplified workflows to enhance security and compliance postures.
