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.

Remote session recording enhances server access tracking while dashboard needs improvement

PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes. The automation system is very smart, although its interface is not as sophisticated as those of Dynatrace or FortiFEM. A critical advantage is its flexibility and security, providing stability across our client interactions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the asset discovery, which makes it very easy to locate and identify assets and pull them into the manager."

"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."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"Scalability is good. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."

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

"The privileged access and the application control are helpful in making sure we have good, robust challenge responses. Blacklisting with trusted application protection is also beneficial for us."

"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."

"I would say session management on the go is the most valuable feature. When the session is going on, you can stop the session without terminating it for justification. You can cancel it. The recording takes very little space. Those are some things which the customers are worried about when they talk about session recording."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"We can use it remotely as well."

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."

"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."

"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

Cons

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

"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."

"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."

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

"The product should improve its price."

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

"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."

"If they improve their price in Bangladesh, since they do not have local partners or local trainers, clients or integrators find it difficult to reach BeyondTrust for support, service, and price quotation."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."

"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."

"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."

"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."

"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The solution's pricing is high."

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

"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."

"It was very expensive."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pricing and cost advice

"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."

"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."
