Offers solid performance and user adaptability but needs better pricing options and local support

BeyondTrust is a strong, compliance-driven solution with excellent market recognition (Gartner, Peers, etc.), making it appealing for Bangladeshi enterprises. However, some key improvements could accelerate adoption: Areas for Improvement: Pricing & Local Affordability While the product’s capabilities justify its value, cost remains a barrier for many Bangladeshi organizations. Competitive pricing or regional discounts would make it more accessible. Local Support & Partnerships Currently, lack of local partners or trainers creates delays in support, implementation, and pricing negotiations. Establishing a Bangladesh-based support team or authorized resellers would improve responsiveness and trust. Enhanced Onboarding & Training Offering localized training programs (in Bengali/English) and documentation would help IT teams deploy and manage the solution more efficiently. Recommendations for Next Release: Introduce tiered pricing for emerging markets like Bangladesh. Develop a partner network in Bangladesh for faster service and sales. Add simplified dashboards for easier monitoring by non-technical staff. Final Note: BeyondTrust is already a top-tier PAM solution, but addressing these gaps would solidify its leadership in Bangladesh’s growing cybersecurity market.

Policy tuning has improved cloud threat detection while rule creation still needs simplification

Bitdefender Security for AWS provides an agent-based solution that combines antivirus, endpoint detection and response and behavioral detection to reduce the risk of compromised production servers. One of the best features of Bitdefender Security for AWS is its protection for EC2 workloads. It offers centralized management from a single console, allowing users to manage policies, deployments, and visibility across all AWS platforms. This centralized approach simplifies administration and improves efficiency. The anti-malware and behavioral detection features are robust. For both Windows and Linux EC2 instances, Bitdefender provides strong detection capabilities against both known and unknown threats, helping to minimize false positives and accurately identify true positives. It also supports offloading scans to optimize performance. Bitdefender Security for AWS helps secure servers running in AWS while reducing CPU and I/O consumption. Managing physical servers is often more complex since it may require additional hardware, such as memory expansions or system extensions, to maintain performance. In contrast, AWS environments benefit from Bitdefender’s optimized performance, resulting in lower CPU and memory usage, as well as better handling of I/O loads. From a security standpoint, this solution allows for easier management even under high resource consumption. Because it operates within AWS, performance remains stable, making it a reliable and efficient choice for cloud-based security operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."

"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."

"It's relatively straightforward to set up, especially if you are deploying to the cloud."

"BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management positively impacts the organization by providing more security and benefits, such as ensuring that if modifications are made, we can see where mistakes occurred in the recording video."

"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."

"The user experience is good, and there are many preconfigured platforms."

"It scales easily and the product is stable."

"It has some features that other products don't have yet, differentiation that sets it apart in the marketplace... Those features are a centralized dashboard and the ability to issue and revoke entitlements within minutes. That makes a difference."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"The best features of Bitdefender Security for AWS are its EC2 workloads, called elastic compute cloud, which provide a solution from a single console to manage policy, deployment, and visibility across all platforms and across all AWS, so it was easy that way and it was good."

"The protection that it provides is valuable because the biggest problem that people and companies have been seeing in the last two or three years is scams and everything like that."

Cons

"The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months."

"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."

"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."

"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."

"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date. I would rather search by an error code than type in the text and search for it by text because the error code means that it is programmatic, and it is known. It might not be desired, but it at least is not unexpected. If you don't have an error code, you just get an anomalous error, and if it is lengthy, it can be difficult to search and find the specific instance you're looking for. This is something I would like all of them to improve. BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Centrify, and Thycotic could do some improvements in staying up to date and actually allowing you to search based on the product version. They are assuming that everybody is on their way to release. They put out a new release, but it is not reflected on the support site, which makes no sense to me, especially when they revamp all the error codes. They all have been guilty of this in some way."

"They are doing good for now, but they should start to consider tight integration with Mac solutions. There should be more integration with Mac. There should be Active Directory (AD) Bridging. Thycotic and Centrify have it currently because they merged and joined forces, and it was a feature available in Centrify. So, basically, they joined forces to create a kind of perfect product. If you have a hybrid or mixed environment with Windows and Mac, your Active Directory can only manage or enforce policies on Windows, but what about your Mac devices? How do you control them? So, AD Bridging will act as a bridge to bring all your Mac devices into your Active Directory. This way you have full control over your entire environment."

"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."

"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"For a small industry, it will be fine, but when you are initiating Bitdefender Security for AWS in a large-scale environment, you need careful planning and tuning with policy tuning, and in a large scale, it will be difficult."

"I remember when they first pushed it to the DBM server, my backup server at the time, it caused a lot of issues because they were supposed to exclude all the folders that they were backing up to and had the storage. I got hold of the security group and asked them to uninstall it. We uninstalled it, ran a script, and then it fixed the problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was very expensive."

"What BeyondTrust was providing was user-based licensing which was a great benefit from the client point of view. Recently, I don't know why, the licensing model has been changed, and that is the reason that they have lost a bit of their edge when it comes to the PAM, against our competition. The asset-based licensing, from the user's point of view, is not beneficial. The licensing should be based on the users. The greater the number of users, the greater will be the load and the greater the scalability problems. I presume that is why the licensing model has changed."

"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."

"The solution's pricing is high."

"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."

"Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."

"Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it."
