Sentiment score

BeyondTrust Password Safe support is praised for responsiveness and expertise, but documentation and complex issue resolution need improvement.
One person gets aligned for troubleshooting and maintenance activities during their downtime, and within an hour, they complete these tasks.
The tickets for minor issues have been resolved efficiently.
I found the technical support from BeyondTrust to be very good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Axiad Conductor scales well up to 100,000 users but faces cost challenges beyond, maintaining robust and seamless integration.
Sentiment score
7.6
BeyondTrust Password Safe is scalable, integrates with systems, and supports diverse environments for both small businesses and enterprises.
BeyondTrust Password Safe is scalable and stable from my perspective, as if you increase your CPU and RAM, you can use as many user licenses as you want on a single platform.
If using the built-in database, it requires good knowledge in Microsoft SQL, which could complicate scalability.
In my experience, the scalability of BeyondTrust Password Safe is also a nine.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Axiad Conductor is praised for its flawless, stable performance in credential management, with minimal downtime and no unplanned outages.
Sentiment score
7.6
BeyondTrust Password Safe is mostly stable and intuitive, though some experience occasional crashes and require substantial management efforts.
The solution is very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Users seek Axiad Conductor enhancements, including modern design, Canadian hosting, and FIDO U2F support, amidst macOS update challenges.
BeyondTrust Password Safe needs better documentation, support, integration, UI updates, and optimized pricing for enhanced user satisfaction.
SaaS-based applications and other things should be included, along with their password management options for web applications.
There are limitations when accessing or creating connectors for each application.
This would help in identifying suspicious activities immediately when users log in.
 

Setup Cost

Axiad Conductor offers affordable annual pricing with low-cost per-user licensing and efficient management, ensuring lower total ownership costs.
BeyondTrust Password Safe provides cost-effective subscription licensing based on managed assets, offering flexibility and affordability without hidden fees.
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of BeyondTrust Password Safe is good because we have an asset-based license, not a user-based one, allowing us to add many clients with privilege access.
Pricing is managed by a different team, however, I know it's less expensive than CyberArk Privilege Access.
It is cost-effective compared to other solutions.
 

Valuable Features

Axiad Conductor simplifies authentication management with user-friendly features, efficient onboarding, and seamless integration, crucial for security compliance.
BeyondTrust Password Safe provides session recording, password rotation, intuitive interface, streamlined management, and essential reporting for secure account oversight.
The most effective features of BeyondTrust Password Safe are password management and session recording.
The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Password Safe is the Privilege Access Management control, and the session monitoring is particularly useful for mitigating risk.
The flexibility of the licensing model is significantly better as it offers both unlimited users and unlimited devices, unlike Delinea, which is based on the number of users.

Eliminated the drudgery of having to run our own PKI environment
One of the things that we find the most valuable is not actually a feature, but it's the fact that we are not managing the environment ourselves. Because it is a managed solution in the cloud, it takes away a lot of the drudgery of having to run our own PKI environment. And the product has proven itself to be incredibly flexible and has been able to address all of our pain points. That's why we bought it. And even while we've been going through it, new pain points or challenges keep coming up, and Axiad has been able to deal with all of them. It was very impressive in terms of its utility right from the get-go, and has shown its ongoing utility when we have reached these catch points, issues it has been able to resolve. And when it comes to enrolling a user, it's super easy with One Click Issuance. It's far easier than the solution we replaced. I haven't put a stopwatch on it, but I'm sure it takes less than a minute with Axiad, whereas before it was taking three to five minutes. It's so easy now that we can offload the process to our clients who can self-enroll. Previously, we would have to do the enrollment process because it was so complicated. In addition, it's super simple for deploying and managing authentication devices. Our IT department is rather small, so all the incremental wins that we can get are hugely important to us.

Smart tooling streamlines account organization and access through advanced grouping features
The features I find valuable in Password Safe include password retention and management, session privilege monitoring, live monitoring and recording, and the use of PS automation scripts for creating connections. The smart tooling and smart group features are also important as, after finalizing discovery, they auto-collect accounts in the environment and organize them in Smart Groups for easy access.
