Enhanced compliance and security through detailed action recordings
We have used ARCON Privileged Access Management for recording videos of user actions taken after logging into systems. Around thirty people, including network engineers, server engineers, and application engineers, use it in the company There hasn't been a notable financial benefit for our…
Stephen Hui - PeerSpot reviewer
Has all necessary functionalities, is sophisticated and mature; still contains some bugs
There are still some bugs in the solution but a lot less than there used to be. Unfortunately, CyberArk and BeyondTrust are in fierce competition. Many customers have already adopted CyberArk, but they need a proven remote access solution and are likely to go with BeyondTrust. Both solutions can be used, it's just more work for IT to manage them. CyberArk is still leading the market share globally, and BeyondTrust is always classified second, followed by Delinea or Thycotic.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The notification alert feature where the network admin gets notified of probable malicious activity is the most valuable feature."
"With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds."
"By manually keeping the user logs, we can understand and manage all the operationalized tasks."
"Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten."
"Video and audio logs are there for any activities that the privileged admin carries out."
"It was very easy for us to move this application and database from on-premise to cloud, as well as configure new things, such as load balancing. The product is very compatible."
"That dashboard is okay."
"The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"The most valuable features of BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe are the ease of use and the API is very nice. Additionally, the interface is very good between AD and Unix."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"This product is lacking in terms of dashboarding analytics and should have user behavior analytics. It should also have better dashboarding for executive management and security managers, which this product is missing."
"They they should focus on support. The support needs to be very strong. Since the product is becoming stronger, their support team also should be equally strong. They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set. Their support team should be more technical, to understand the issue or the set up."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"Sometimes it gets stuck between servers and I would like to see this improved in the future."
"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"Currently, along with the upgrade of the ARCON solution, we have to consider the desktops and the endpoints from where the solution will have to be accessed. We have to upgrade those endpoints and desktops as well. So upgrades are not smooth."
"The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available."
"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."
"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"The product contains some bugs."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is simple, and there are only two types licensing: device licensing and user-based licensing."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
"The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management's pricing is reasonable."
"Product pricing is based on users and connections. We did not have to pay more for additional features."
"The cost of this product is very cheap, comparatively in the global market."
