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. 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.""I'm a BeyondTrust partner and I have multiple deployments, four or five banks right now. The features that give us quite an edge compared to what our competitors are offering - like IBM or Thycotic - are the Session Management, that is quite a big one; also the recording of keystrokes. In addition, there is the password vaulting and state-of-the-art Password Management, which I haven't seen in other products.""The most valuable feature is the asset discovery, which makes it very easy to locate and identify assets and pull them into the manager.""The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people.""It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing.""The solution's technical support is good.""Reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges.""The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."

"Lifecycle management, governance and documentation.""I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."

Cons
"Reports to the end user.""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.""We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management.""The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features.""If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product.""Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement.""They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric.""The help system should be improved to provide a quick help guide with each tab within the solution, which explains what each particular function does."

"Self service center is not always easy to understand.""The solution is a bit pricey for some regions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
  • "PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
  • "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."
  • "This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
  • "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."
  • "The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
  • "It was very expensive."
