RankEZ vs Legacy PAM
The modern alternative to legacy PAM
Legacy PAM defined privileged access. RankEZ rebuilt it for how teams work now: full PAM in minutes, just-in-time by default, every identity covered.

By default
Just-in-time, the RankEZ default
Where vaulting-first tools leave privilege standing, RankEZ hands it out only when it is needed, then takes it straight back.
- Request, approve, use, expire, automatically.
- No permanent local admin, no always-on credentials.
- Every session brokered, recorded and audited.
Why teams switch
What you gain with RankEZ
Live in minutes
One lightweight proxy and a cloud control plane replace connector forests. Risk retired in week one.
Zero standing privilege
Access is granted on request, scoped to the task, and expires on its own.
Every identity, one platform
Humans, machines, DevOps secrets and workforce, secured together, not module by module.
Priced to cover it all
Whole-estate pricing, so 'in scope' can mean every privileged account.
A fair word
Where legacy PAM still fits
Legacy PAM platforms are the established standard, with the broadest catalogues and deepest partner networks. If you have a team and years invested in running one, that depth is real. RankEZ is for teams who want the same outcomes without the weight, the timeline, or the per-module bill.
