Common Questions

What customers often ask when comparing

BeyondTrust is the industry standard for PAM
BeyondTrust is strong for traditional PAM. PumaGate provides modern Zero Trust access — browser-based, quick to deploy, and covering SSH, RDP, VNC, Kubernetes, gRPC, Telnet, databases, and web apps from a single gateway. Many teams use PumaGate alongside or as a replacement for PAM.
We need credential vaulting
PumaGate includes built-in credential vaulting with automated rotation. For teams that don't need the full complexity of enterprise vault suites, PumaGate provides the essential vaulting capabilities.
Our compliance framework requires a PAM solution
PumaGate satisfies PAM requirements for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 — with session recording, access policies, MFA enforcement, and identity-verified audit trails.
