Oathkeeper vs ManageEngine PAM360: What are the differences?
Developers describe Oathkeeper as "A cloud native Identity & Access Proxy". A cloud native Identity & Access Proxy (IAP) which authenticates and authorizes incoming HTTP requests. Inspired by the BeyondCorp / Zero Trust white paper. Written in Go. On the other hand, ManageEngine PAM360 is detailed as "Complete privileged access security for enterprises". It empowers enterprises looking to stay ahead of this growing risk with a robust privileged access management (PAM) program that ensures no privileged access pathway to mission-critical assets is left unmanaged, unknown, or unmonitored.
Oathkeeper and ManageEngine PAM360 can be categorized as "Cloud Access Management" tools.
Some of the features offered by Oathkeeper are:
- Identify the user and provide the user session to API backends
- Restrict access to certain resources based on a set of rules
- Transform access credentials (e.g. OAuth2 Access Tokens, SAML Assertions, ...) to a format (e.g. JSON Web Token, Plaintext, Basic Authorization, ...) consumable by your API services
On the other hand, ManageEngine PAM360 provides the following key features:
- Enterprise credential vault
- Secure remote access
- Just-in-time privilege elevation
