Lieberman RED Review
Pros
- Manage local accounts of workstations and servers.
- The web interface is easy for users of RED to use.
- The shared password list is a very nice feature that allows users to store credentials that have to remain static.
Cons
- Most settings are global. You cannot assign different checkout time lengths to separate accounts as an example.
- The install process is awful.
- There is no redundancy built into the product
- The entire RED system has to be down for patching/upgrades.
Return on Investment
- Positive = General and admin accounts have randomized passwords that users check out.
- Positive = Logs for who is using what
- Negative = Large overhead for managing RED
Alternatives Considered
