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.

Straightforward to set up, good support, intuitive to use, and offers good value for the cost
The most valuable feature is being able to use a single master password to access all of your other passwords. One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes. In our scenario, these are notes such as how to get some of our devices on the network. They are processes and procedures that we don't want anybody else to see, especially within the IT department. It's a small department and we have very many processes that we use, but not on a daily basis, so we aren't going to remember them. By using LastPass and secure notes, we can go back to those notes in a secure fashion and remind ourselves how to do certain things. For instance, how to create a test database for accounting, which is something that we do once a year. We don't want that to be out in a non-secure fashion, where somebody in the public can see it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable."
 

Cons

"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"The product contains some bugs."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"The previous pricing was of good value. I don't really know, as of now, whether the new pricing is. The Enterprise license is $48 per license per year now. That is a steep increase of $24, which is what it was when we first signed up."
"You do not have to purchase licenses for your entire organization. You can scale as adoption grows."
"I was not terribly alarmed with the pricing, and am pleased with the fact that a home license is included with each business license."
"It would be nice to do a quarterly true-up process with them versus having to buy 50 licenses at a time when we realize we're out, then we have to buy more. So far, they have been nice about letting us exceed our allotment and just letting us true-up on our own, but a more robust quarterly true-up process would be good."
"LastPass was cheap as chips. It was very cheap, hence one of the reasons we went with it. If you're a small organization and you're after something that'll do 90% of your requirements, it's very good. Licensing and all that was really cheap and simple to understand."
"The subscription model is rated at a fair price."
"The pricing and licensing are okay. Basically, at the last contract negotiation, they attempted to jack the rate up and we just said, "No." We still did negotiations with them, but they bumped everything up quite a bit."
"In terms of pricing, my feeling is that they are all roughly the same. LastPass is in line with its competitors, plus or minute a dollar or two per month."
