Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
Md Abdul Hakim
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
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.

I like that the access control on the agent. Installation is difficult.
I would like to see some improvements, specifically in terms of some set-up items. We have spoken to CA quite a bit about the ability to have 'always-on', or 'active/active' status options, so if the infrastructure goes down, we don't lose transactions. This is very important for the environment and for the users so we cannot really afford any downtime with the solution. We have had problems with deployment, and we are concerned with the possibility for outages and how they can have a negative impact on the environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I liked about this solution is that it can also integrate for tracking malicious use or sending analytics to a host that can process them."
"Features-wise, BeyondTrust is a lot better than ARCON."
"When it comes to the PAM, I don't think that any application can compete with BeyondTrust, except for the financial issue that has been recently affected by the change in the licensing model."
"What I liked about this solution is that it can also integrate for tracking malicious use or sending analytics to a host that can process them. I don't know if CyberArk, Centrify, or Thycotic can do that. The analytics was something the client really wanted, and they already had BeyondTrust. It is very scalable. The agent on the workstation is very thin, and the processing power required on a server is nothing out of the ordinary. It is also very stable and easy to deploy."
"For a Windows/Linux/Unix mixed environment, it is a good product to management privilege account passwords to prevent security breaches."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"The asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect, as it's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager."
"The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."
More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros
"It depends on the client's requirements, but for me the most valuable one is the security access management with distributed architecture and centralized management."
"We're happy to see it working so well with our IBM solution, saving us time and costs."
"It gives us the ability to track who is using what ID and for what purpose."
"This product has improved the security of the corporate network and made compliance with the safety regulations of our country."
"Access Control enhances the security of business systems through a secured authentication and validation of users credentials before accessing organizations resources."
"No, the product been stable and robust, and boasts with new additional features."
"It efficiently controls the access to the resources from the privileged user thus implementing the security aspects and this provides fine granular access."
"We have been able to exceed our audit requirements for security."

Cons

"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."
"One issue, especially when you deploy HA actively and passively, is the synchronization."
"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."
"Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement."
"That said, having said that, it has zero intelligence in checking whether the script is legitimate or bad."
"There is room for improvement in having the solution align more with standards. We're always shoehorning the product into the standards. It's not that it doesn't work for standards, it does. But Quick Start Policies are pretty close to what we need. The vendor needs to keep looking at GDPR, 27001, and 27701. That's why our clients buy the product."
"The product should improve its price."
"We have installed BeyondTrust, however, it's not working as-is."
More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons
"I found the installation process of Access Control challenging due to the much networking work involved in order to grant access to authorized users."
"User Interface needs to be improved."
"I have faced a few challenges due to the system complexity, as it involves two integrated authentication systems that have to be purchased."
"Sometimes we encounter issues whilst generating the reports."
"Automated deployment did not work as expected, had to go to a manual deployment."
"Yes, I encountered lots of issues."
"The manuals for this product used to be good. We could find in one place answers to pretty much every question or situation we had. However, it's now in piece-meal fashion."
"We have had problems with deployment, and we are concerned with the possibility for outages and how they can have a negative impact on the environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is high."
"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
"It was very expensive."
"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
