System and DBA at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Enhanced security through session monitoring and activity recording
From an end-user point of view, it would be beneficial if the system could provide information about the last login. This would help identify if the server was accessed by me or if someone has potentially stolen my credentials. It would provide a clearer picture of whether ARCON Privileged Access Management is accessed by an authentic user.
Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
Offers solid performance and user adaptability but needs better pricing options and local support
BeyondTrust is a strong, compliance-driven solution with excellent market recognition (Gartner, Peers, etc.), making it appealing for Bangladeshi enterprises. However, some key improvements could accelerate adoption: Areas for Improvement: Pricing & Local Affordability While the product’s capabilities justify its value, cost remains a barrier for many Bangladeshi organizations. Competitive pricing or regional discounts would make it more accessible. Local Support & Partnerships Currently, lack of local partners or trainers creates delays in support, implementation, and pricing negotiations. Establishing a Bangladesh-based support team or authorized resellers would improve responsiveness and trust. Enhanced Onboarding & Training Offering localized training programs (in Bengali/English) and documentation would help IT teams deploy and manage the solution more efficiently. Recommendations for Next Release: Introduce tiered pricing for emerging markets like Bangladesh. Develop a partner network in Bangladesh for faster service and sales. Add simplified dashboards for easier monitoring by non-technical staff. Final Note: BeyondTrust is already a top-tier PAM solution, but addressing these gaps would solidify its leadership in Bangladesh’s growing cybersecurity market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product seems to appropriately meet our scope financially, as well as technically, which is why we went for it."
"The user interface, overall, is really good. If I have some 20 servers in my ID, I can easily see for which servers I have read-only access, for which servers I have prompt-access, and for which servers I have server admin access."
"The most valuable feature is it is easy to use and the interface is intuitive."
"After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity."
"This product has helped us to protect privileged accounts and comply with password policies for privileged accounts."
"For that reason we introduced the PAM solution and it's working extremely well."
"Overall, I would rate ARCON Privileged Access Management nine out of ten."
"The notification alert feature where the network admin gets notified of probable malicious activity is the most valuable feature."
"It has reduced the unwanted risk and increased the security posture."
"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"The solution is definitely stable, and within the last eight years we have been able to satisfy the most demanding customers in the world, whether they have 10 users, 10,000 users, or even 100,000 users, because it is scalable."
"This program has a good reputation in the market and it is more required for the security of your infrastructure."
"The privileged access and the application control are helpful in making sure we have good, robust challenge responses. Blacklisting with trusted application protection is also beneficial for us."
"The user experience is good, and there are many preconfigured platforms."
"It has increased the security of the environment, and it has reduced the exposure score from the vulnerability perspective."
"Implementing this solution has allowed us to remove most of the credentials from those applications and move them into a proper management facility."
 

Cons

"Bulk password automation is not available in ARCON when compared to other products."
"I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."
"A few areas for improvement in ARCON would be performance optimization, ensuring smoother management."
"It would be helpful to have a "Favorites" list. For example, if I have 100 servers but I only go to 10 servers frequently, a Favorites list would allow me to go through those ten servers only."
"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."
"Initially, there were some issues with .NET applications in Windows 10 systems."
"They need to support all web browsers. At the moment it only supports Explorer, IE. They have to come up with a solution to support all browsers."
"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"We have installed BeyondTrust, however, it's not working as-is."
"BeyondTrust is lagging on stability because it is a merger with Bomgar and so there are three, four technologies included in that."
"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date."
"All products have room to improve. I would like to see support for many more systems, such as AS400."
"The product should improve its price."
"We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management."
"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date. I would rather search by an error code than type in the text and search for it by text because the error code means that it is programmatic, and it is known. It might not be desired, but it at least is not unexpected. If you don't have an error code, you just get an anomalous error, and if it is lengthy, it can be difficult to search and find the specific instance you're looking for. This is something I would like all of them to improve. BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Centrify, and Thycotic could do some improvements in staying up to date and actually allowing you to search based on the product version. They are assuming that everybody is on their way to release. They put out a new release, but it is not reflected on the support site, which makes no sense to me, especially when they revamp all the error codes. They all have been guilty of this in some way."
"The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler. It would be helpful if the solution had in-app tutorials for users to look at as they progress through the system. Sometimes we get lost and need to go back to check what exactly the function was. There should be small hints around major key functions. It would go a long way in speeding up the deployment process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is neither cheap nor expensive."
"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
"I am not in a position to give any financials, but whatever we have paid, it is value for money. Their licensing model is good. They have been flexible for us."
"Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
"Pricing is low and licensing is flexible."
"I definitely feel the product's pricing is a good value. It is one of the best products we have. The licensing is server-based."
"There are no major concerns with licensing because we can handle multiple servers in our kiosk system."
"Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
"The solution's pricing is high."
"It was very expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
