Admin By Request
About Admin By Request
Admin By Request is a powerful Privileged Access Management (PAM) security solution designed to empower organizations in effectively managing, monitoring, and controlling local admin rights across their endpoints. With its comprehensive features, organizations can confidently maintain a secure environment.
This solution provides Just-In-Time per-app and session elevation, ensuring administrative access is granted only when needed. It also offers robust logging capabilities for privileged activity, allowing organizations to track and analyze user actions, and real-time anti-malware file scanning, to protect against potential threats. For use in emergencies or to provision third parties with temporary local admin accounts, Admin By Request includes a Break Glass account feature, which acts as a replacement for Microsoft LAPS. Seamless integration with SIEM tools and ticketing systems allows for the streamlining of workflows and enhancement of incident response. Organizations can gain insight into their endpoints via a comprehensive software and hardware inventory. With an intuitive web Admin Portal, accessing all features is straightforward.
From the end user perspective, Admin By Request enables users to self-initiate administrative access. This user-friendly approach maintains security without hindering productivity, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.

My overall experience with Admin By Request has been highly positive. The 25 free licenses truly allowed us to test the product thoroughly without any pressure. Its setup is straightforward. The sales and technical support teams are exceptional, readily available to answer any queries. This tool has significantly saved time for my Helpdesk in handling installation or configuration requests and has empowered users to be more self-reliant in their installation or settings adjustment requests. All the while, it maintains perfect control over administrative rights

The inclusion of reports and automations powered by machine learning and AI enhances its efficiency. Additionally, the offer of 25 free lifetime licenses is highly appreciated, providing ample time to thoroughly test the product. The software agent is impressively lightweight, minimizing resource consumption. Furthermore, the offline mode proves extremely useful for complex remote support scenarios.
Cons
the interface for creating different policies based on groups could be more intuitive. The user rights management should also be simplified into roles for easier comprehension and application. The server version operates unpredictably at times, indicating a need for improvement.

The admin portal is very easy to use and your documentation is very clear.
Pros
The fact that we can use it offline fits perfectly with some of our use cases
Cons
It doesn't detect automatically every UAC pop-up. For example, if I click on an executable that requires admin rigths, it just prompts me with the UAC and I need to click "Run as Admin" specifically for ABR to be triggered.

When I started, I was pulling my hair out trying to manage requests for game updates while also keeping our network secure and preventing unnecessary access. Admin By Request has allowed our ESports program to be self sufficient within a certain bubble that gives them what they need without compromising our network's security.
Pricing per end point is reasonable, and the 25 free initial endpoints is a great deal if you are wanting to try it out, or are looking to manage a small number of computers.
Pros
I can actively monitor a deployment of computers used for our ESports computer labs, enable updating of game clients, whitelist specific applications needed and inventory our computers, all from my desk.
Cons
The mobile app while useful seems to be buggy and sometimes an afterthought. Requests get stuck when approved from a push notification, and sometimes the app requires closing to refresh the queue.
