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.

Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation

We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."

"A sophisticated and mature solution."

"The technical support is tremendous."

"We have limited the possibilities for malicious actions and have made it safer for our users when they are using privileged accounts."

"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is a very good solution."

"The monitoring system is very good."

"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."

"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."

"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."

"We deployed it into our company for controlling a client's behavior in our data center. It is very useful to control their connections, such as RDP."

Cons

"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."

"The product contains some bugs."

"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."

"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."

"Monitoring of the platform should be easier and more functional so that you can have a clear picture of the running service."

"Transparent mode was too cumbersome, so I don't foresee us being able to use it. On paper when we were initially talking about it, it was definitely going to be the preferred method until we realized the burden it would be on our network guys. Then, we had to step back and reevaluate what we wanted to do. That's when we changed our approach to use the RD Gateway feature."

"We have not had any issues with the core product itself, but there is an add-on called SCALUS, which is quite critical to the user experience, and that does not work. They have been having issues with that for quite a long time, like months. That is not great at all."

"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."

"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."

"The interface is better now, but it still could be improved a lot. It needs more organization, menus, automatic refresh of information, and Web 2.0."

"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."

"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."

"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."

"They have comparable pricing. All identity products are essentially priced in a similar way. It's a per-user base."

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."

"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."

"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."

"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."
