Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges."
"The product is secure."
"BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is adaptable across Windows, macOS, UNIX, and Linux."
"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."
"AI adds value by automating the onboarding of assets and using smart rules to assign privileges."
"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."
"Technical support is good."
"One of the valuable features is the absence of any local user in a unique system. All users are defined in the AD; communication is only between Unix and AD."
More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
"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."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"We can use it remotely as well."
 

Cons

"We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management."
"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."
"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."
"It keeps on breaking every now and then. It is not yet mature. Every time something new comes up or we run into some new issues, the culprit is BeyondTrust because the agents and the adapter are not mature. The new development process goes on, and they're not able to handle things. It should be mature. It shouldn't break every now and then."
"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."
"The product should improve its price."
"The other area to improve is that they rely on MS SQL servers only. You cannot have any other database behind them. They have to be on MS SQL. If they can do something about these issues, this would be a better alternative for some customers."
"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."
More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
"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."
"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"The solution's pricing is high."
"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"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."

BeyondTrust

Comprehensive privileged access management solution
Privilege misuse is a top cybersecurity threat today that often results in expensive losses and can even cripple businesses. It's also one of the most popular attack vectors among hackers, because when successfully carried out, it provides free access to an enterprise's underbelly, often without raising any alarms until the damage is done.

ManageEngine PAM360 empowers enterprises looking to stay ahead of this growing risk with a robust privileged access management (PAM) program that ensures no privileged access pathway to mission-critical assets is left unmanaged, unknown, or unmonitored.

PAM360 is a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to incorporate PAM into their overall security operations. 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.
