Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Support now requires opening a ServiceNow ticket, which can be time-consuming.
I would give it an eight or nine out of ten for scalability, possibly even a ten, as I do not see a limitation in scaling.
BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access is a scalable solution based on user requirements.
Updates sometimes introduce bugs or issues, especially with non-English versions.
We are looking for a feature where if someone is doing something risky during their session, it should alert and possibly disable their credentials.
BeyondTrust should focus on automating the update process to reduce unnecessary ticket creation.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is expensive, yet not the most expensive in the market, so the price can be considered justifiable.
The primary use case is vendor access management, where we grant the vendors highly privileged access to customer systems in a secure and audited way.
The session monitoring and recording feature definitely helps security and audit with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access.

Axiad Conductor offers intuitive management for authentication processes, streamlining tasks like YubiKeys and smart card issuance, catering to organizational needs with a user-centric approach.
Axiad Conductor facilitates credential lifecycle management and multi-factor authentication by simplifying the deployment and management of authentication devices. "One Click Issuance" ensures easy user enrollment in a cloud environment, reducing administrative burdens. While interface enhancements and authenticators' nickname features could improve usability, its approach to managing cryptographic credentials and handling smart cards and YubiKeys stands noteworthy. Although Apple's macOS changes present challenges, Canadian hosting preferences are recognized.
What are Axiad Conductor's main features?In industries where multi-factor authentication is critical, Axiad Conductor is widely implemented for internal and contractor workforce authentication, managing PKI on smart cards, and YubiKeys for VPN and local access. The ability to manage smart cards and machine certificates aids in maintaining regulatory compliance, while the transition to cloud-based certificate management streamlines operations and supports seamless integration.
