ManageEngine announced the results of KuppingerCole Analysts’ Product Value Navigator assessment of PAM360, its privileged access management platform. The commissioned economic impact study found that enterprises deploying PAM360 achieved a 219 percent ROI, reaching payback in an average of 3.8 months.
“The PAM market has matured to a point where organizations expect broad integration coverage, adaptive risk-based controls, and a demonstrable return on investment from day one. The challenge for mid-market and enterprise buyers has been identifying solutions that deliver on all three without the licensing complexity and professional services overhead typically associated with established PAM platforms,” said Jonathan Care, lead analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts.
Acknowledging KuppingerCole’s recognition, Ramanathan Kannabiran, director of product management at ManageEngine, said, “PAM360 was built on a clear conviction that enterprise-grade PAM shouldn’t come at the cost of speed or simplicity, and that architectural decision is what makes it economically viable in a way fragmented deployments simply cannot be. A 219% ROI and payback in under four months spotlights the core idea behind our product philosophy: that every dollar a customer invests in their security infrastructure should deliver lasting value in return.”
The Product Value Navigator is newly developed ROI research by KuppingerCole Analysts, which quantifies the measurable economic impact of enterprise IT platforms. Drawing on KuppingerCole’s own industry research, benchmarks, structured customer interviews, and value modeling, the Product Value Navigator gives decision-makers, CISOs and IT leaders objective, independently validated evidence of what solutions actually deliver in the real world.
The study estimated a total annual value of $107,914 per enterprise, translating to a three-year projected value of $323,742 — figures derived from a combination of direct customer insights and KuppingerCole’s market research rather than theoretical projections.
The study also highlighted PAM360’s wider organizational impact across business value creation, operational cost efficiency and strengthened risk management.
