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.

Streamline identity lifecycle management with intuitive interfaces and robust policy features

The functions of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle, especially the IGA, are quite strong with their custom forms and workflows integrated. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall. However, it still has to be on-premise and the cloud version is not easily accessible, as dedicated instances are required and machines cannot be shared as multi-tenant for various customers. The advanced policy features of RSA definitely help in defining certain policies such as segregation of duties. That's particularly useful along with creating different access reviews. Regarding access control in simplifying access management, RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle has strong foundations of groups and roles, which help in defining all policies very easily. This makes it very easy to integrate with other access management tools or privileged access management tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager."

"Technical support is good."

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."

"BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is adaptable across Windows, macOS, UNIX, and Linux."

"It scales easily and the product is stable."

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

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections."

"The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall."

"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."

"The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."

"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."

"The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do."

Cons

"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."

"Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users."

"Reports to the end user."

"The product should improve its price."

"It only has limited support for Mac."

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

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

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

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume."

"This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications."

"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture."

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help."

"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."

"Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is high."

"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 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."

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

"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pricing and cost advice

"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."

"We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."

"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
