Cons
"The product contains some bugs.""You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate.""We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time.""The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."

More BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe Cons →

"We have to do a lot of manual work to automate features.""What I hope happens with the new product CA PAM is to keep all the useful features that exist in PA, but what I’ve noticed with many new products is the UI gets polished but systems lags stability and performance or it adds additional complexity instead of simplifying the user experience.""It's difficult to locate the reports, there are limits on what reports can be run from the GUI, and the report formats are lacking.""We experience stability issues after every patch upgrade. This is a place where CA needs to improve drastically.""I’m no fan of Java as an application front-end, as it tends to have issues depending on what browser one’s using.""They should include some assignments in the test environment to explore the product's features.""The management console could be improved.""An improvement for this solution is that it should not be constantly based on user name and password. There should be a condition to edit and update your username."
