Provides critical application control and ensures security with a flexible setup process

Regarding the feedback scenario, it's a tough question as I have thoroughly gone through the entire partner portal and library of BeyondTrust, as well as BeyondTrust University. I have also interacted with support whenever a ticket is raised, ranging from P1 to P3 or P2. Most end users and partners seem happy and content with BeyondTrust. The deployment of the solution is generally easy, flexible, and scalable. However, it can be challenging in certain environments, especially regarding management. Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users. In some cases of competition, I have noted specific use cases where the recording of sessions was an endpoint for BeyondTrust, providing an edge for higher management. The ability to view recorded live sessions of specific users is a crucial benefit.

An easy-to-deploy and affordable tool for access control monitoring

If I consider that most of the users are getting connected from a remote level and take into consideration that industries prefer to go for SaaS-based solutions and multi-factor authentication, I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360. If ManageEngine PAM360 can introduce multi-factor authentication, then it would be great from a security aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is secure."

"It scales easily and the product is stable."

"AI adds value by automating the onboarding of assets and using smart rules to assign privileges."

"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 features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."

"The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

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

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

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

"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."

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

Cons

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

"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved. It is a new cloud-based solution. So, many more specific reports can come out natively. Currently, we get all the events, and we put them in plug-ins. From there, we generate our own design of reports. If there is a much more solid or robust reporting analytics framework within the product itself, it would be helpful."

"There are three types of endpoints. If we need to use them in the solution, then we need to purchase the licenses separately. The tool needs to improve its licensing."

"There is a need for better MQ integration with DevOps and improvements in architecture."

"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."

"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."

"Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."

"It only has limited support for Mac."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is high."

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."

"It was very expensive."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."

"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."

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."

Privilege misuse is a top cybersecurity threat today that often results in expensive losses and can even cripple businesses.

With PAM360's contextual integration capabilities, you can build a central console where different parts of your IT management system interconnect for deeper correlation of privileged access data and overall network data, facilitating meaningful inferences and quicker remedies.
