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.

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.

Eric Brown - PeerSpot reviewer
The day-to-day tasks, running the servers, and making sure that everything is patched is all handled by the platform
The most valuable feature is the overhead management of the platform. There is less for my team to worry about. The day-to-day tasks, running the servers, and making sure that everything is patched is all handled by the platform. We just consume the service and work with them to refine it, making it even more valuable. Aside from Active Directory, anything that is a multi-factor platform is handled through Axiad Cloud. It is critical for helping to enforce usage of authentication devices across our organization. One of our requirements to continue some of our contracts is to have multi-factor authentication across all devices accessing the network. It is extremely easy to enroll a user with “One Click Issuance”. I have had very few calls to the service desk regarding enrollment. It takes a couple of minutes to enroll a user with "One Click Issuance". Deploying and managing authenticators is very easy, either done by a mobile application or enrollment of an OTP token. It is very simple. This is important to my userbase, which makes it important to me. Functionality-wise, it is pretty solid.
IshtiaqKhalil - PeerSpot reviewer
Extensive experience with session management and quick technical support boost confidence
While generally a strong product, BeyondTrust Password Safe has a few areas that could use some polish. From an administrator's viewpoint, we sometimes see keystroke capturing fail. More significantly, RDP sessions occasionally disconnect without any error messages on the client side. This leaves us administrators in the dark, unable to identify the cause of the problem
