Integrates well between AD and Unix, scalable, and easy to use
BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues. I recently received a new version a few weeks ago and it looks like they solved most of the problems. Some of the issues we had, lasted a very long time until they found a solution.

Integration helps protect sensitive information effectively and new GUI simplifies setup
Regarding improvements for Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management, there are still some challenges. Purview contains numerous predefined sensitive information types, which sometimes makes it difficult to specify relevance. For example, in the Netherlands, we are not interested in driver licenses from Australia, making separation challenging. Furthermore, the capabilities for exporting large amounts of sensitive information for deeper investigations and reporting should be enhanced. Additional features related to AI tools would be beneficial in the next release. Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management has made progress in providing insights into generative AI tools being used within organizations, but customers need to further track where sensitive information is being used within AI tooling. While they have made a good start, AI is advancing faster than anticipated, creating a gap that needs to be addressed.
