What is ManageEngine PAM360?

ManageEngine PAM360 is the privileged access management product from Zoho Corporation's IT management division, which is run out of Chennai. It handles the accounts that can do the most damage: domain admin passwords, root logins, database service accounts, SSH keys and SSL certificates. It also brokers the remote sessions that IT staff and outside vendors open on those systems. In India it fits banks, NBFCs, insurers, IT services firms and larger manufacturers that face SEBI, RBI or ISO 27001 audits and need to prove who touched which server and when. ManageEngine publishes a SEBI cybersecurity compliance whitepaper for PAM360, so the regulated Indian market is clearly a target.

The feature list is wide. An AES-256 vault discovers and onboards privileged accounts, and password-less gateways launch RDP and SSH sessions without agents or browser plug-ins. Sessions can be shadowed, put under dual control and recorded as video. Just-in-time elevation, endpoint privilege management with application allowlisting, and AI/ML-driven user behaviour analytics are included. Access requests can be tied to ServiceNow, Jira or BMC Helix ticket IDs, and logs flow to Splunk, Sumo Logic, Microsoft Sentinel or ManageEngine Log360.

PAM360 is self-hosted software. You install it on Windows Server or on Ubuntu, CentOS or Red Hat Linux, using PostgreSQL by default or SQL Server in the Enterprise edition. High availability is covered by one licence for both the primary and secondary servers. That gives you full control over where credentials live, which matters to Indian regulators, but your team also owns the patching, backups and hardening. The Android and iOS apps only work when they can reach your PAM360 server.

Pricing is public but listed in US dollars, and it is set by the number of administrators and keys rather than end users. An annual subscription starts at $7,995 for 10 administrators and 25 keys, and reaches $49,995 for 200 administrators and 1,000 keys. The multilingual edition costs about 20% more. Password users and auditors are unlimited, so a 15-person IT team can give vault access to hundreds of staff on the entry tier. A free edition covers one administrator and 10 resources, and the 30-day trial supports five administrators. For pure password vaulting without session recording, ManageEngine's cheaper Password Manager Pro may be enough.

What works well

+A free edition with one administrator and 10 resources never expires
+The 30-day trial is fully featured and supports five administrators
+Subscription and perpetual prices are published openly on the ManageEngine site
+Password users and auditors are unlimited; only administrators and keys count toward the licence
+Session shadowing, dual control and video recording for RDP and SSH sessions
+A single licence covers both the primary and secondary high-availability servers
+Ticket validation against ServiceNow, Jira and BMC Helix before credentials are released

What to watch out for

−Prices are only listed in US dollars, so INR cost depends on the reseller quote and exchange rate
−Self-hosted only, so your team handles servers, database, patching and backups
−The entry subscription of $7,995 a year is heavy for a small IT team
−Mobile apps need network access to your PAM360 server, which usually means VPN for on-premise installs
−Only one Application Gateway is bundled; more need a separate quote from sales

Best suited for: Banks, NBFCs and insurers that need audit trails for privileged access under SEBI or RBI rules · IT services companies that give engineers and vendors controlled access to client servers · Enterprises managing large numbers of SSH keys and SSL certificates · Organisations that must keep the credential vault on their own servers in India

ManageEngine PAM360 — frequently asked questions

How much does ManageEngine PAM360 cost?+

ManageEngine PAM360 subscriptions start at $7,995 a year for 10 administrators and 25 keys, and rise to $49,995 a year for 200 administrators and 1,000 keys, with support included. A perpetual licence for 10 administrators costs $19,995, plus $3,999 a year for maintenance. The multilingual edition costs about 20% more. Prices are listed in US dollars, so Indian buyers should ask for an INR quote.

Is GST included in PAM360 pricing in India?+

No GST is shown on the ManageEngine PAM360 pricing page, including the India version, and prices are in US dollars. When you buy through ManageEngine India or a local partner, expect an invoice in INR with 18% GST added on top. Ask for the GST invoice and the exchange rate in writing before you commit to a multi-year subscription.

Does ManageEngine PAM360 have a free version or trial?+

Yes to both. ManageEngine PAM360 has a free edition with one administrator and up to 10 resources, and it doesn't expire. There is also a fully functional 30-day evaluation that supports up to five administrators, and ManageEngine sales can extend it. The free edition is useful for testing in a lab, but it is too small for most production use.

Is PAM360 cloud or on-premise?+

ManageEngine PAM360 is on-premise software that you install on a physical server or a virtual machine. It runs on Windows Server 2012 to 2019 or on Ubuntu, CentOS and Red Hat Linux. PostgreSQL is the default database, and the Enterprise edition also supports SQL Server or a SQL cluster. One licence covers both servers in a high-availability pair.

How is the PAM360 licence counted?+

ManageEngine PAM360 is licensed by administrators and keys, not by total users or servers. Administrator, Password Administrator and Privileged Administrator roles count toward the licence. Password User and Password Auditor roles are unlimited, and paid tiers place no cap on resources. A small IT team can therefore give hundreds of employees vault access on the 10-administrator tier.

ManageEngine PAM360 vs Password Manager Pro: which should I buy?+

Password Manager Pro, also from ManageEngine, mainly vaults and rotates shared passwords. ManageEngine PAM360 adds endpoint privilege management, just-in-time elevation, behaviour analytics, cloud entitlement controls and deeper session governance. Choose PAM360 if auditors want least-privilege controls and session evidence. If you only need a shared admin password vault, Password Manager Pro is the cheaper fit.

Does PAM360 have a mobile app?+

Yes. ManageEngine PAM360 has free Android and iOS apps. You can view and copy passwords, request or approve access, browse SSH keys and SSL certificates, create CSRs and launch RDP sessions. Local data is encrypted with AES-256, and offline caching works only when an administrator allows it. The phone must be able to reach your PAM360 server, often over VPN.

How does PAM360 help with SEBI or audit compliance in India?+

ManageEngine PAM360 records privileged sessions as video, logs every password retrieval and can require a valid ServiceNow or Jira ticket before releasing credentials. It includes built-in compliance and audit reports and forwards logs to SIEM tools such as Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel. ManageEngine also publishes a SEBI cybersecurity whitepaper that maps PAM360 to those requirements.

How long does PAM360 take to set up?+

A basic ManageEngine PAM360 install on a prepared Windows or Linux server is a short job. You need an SMTP server, a service account with admin rights and .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later on Windows. Discovering accounts, setting rotation policies and connecting ticketing takes longer. ManageEngine sells online implementation packages from $2,495 and onsite rollouts of two to five days.

Is ManageEngine PAM360 made in India?+

Yes. ManageEngine PAM360 is developed by Zoho Corporation, whose ManageEngine IT management division is headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Indian buyers can purchase through ManageEngine India or local partners.
