Md Abdul Hakim

System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited

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.

Technical Consultant at Netpoleon India

A PAM solution that helps to ensure data security and compliance

The most valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management for protecting Privileged accounts is its built-in launcher. Additionally, the single sign-on capability is good. Sectona's session recording feature is particularly noteworthy because it utilizes minimal storage. Instead of recording entire sessions, it captures activity only when necessary, optimizing storage space. The tool offers a unique feature called the plugin designer, which is distinct in the market. They don't charge for custom connectors; their plugin designer tool is user-friendly. End customers can use it to design the initial steps of connectors. The tool's session management significantly improves your security posture by completely isolating sessions from user devices. This means that even if a user's endpoint is vulnerable or infected, it will not compromise the server they are working on. The session runs on a secure, isolated PAM server; the user only interacts with it through a secure channel.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."

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

"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."

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"Password management, as it is a core function; passwords are a frequent hacking point."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"The most valuable feature is the risk management. When a Privileged user performs a certain command, such as running a script, the system highlights it in the risk management section as high, critical, or medium risk."

"The most valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management for protecting Privileged accounts is its built-in launcher. Additionally, the single sign-on capability is good. Sectona's session recording feature is particularly noteworthy because it utilizes minimal storage. Instead of recording entire sessions, it captures activity only when necessary, optimizing storage space."

"A key factor for my company is support, and Sectona Privileged Access Management has good support. Another valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management is that it's easy to onboard."

"The most valuable features of Sectona Privileged Access Management include robust session monitoring for privileged users."

Cons

"It's not a 10 because the scalability and licensing have impacted us a lot."

"The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler."

"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."

"There are been cases that we are handling that have been going on for a year now. Even though they are an industry leader, they haven't been able to solve a small problem."

"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."

"They are doing good for now, but they should start to consider tight integration with Mac solutions."

"These are related to the Flash / Java Web UI, which we know is very vulnerable."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"Sectona needs to think about SaaS solutions and cloud use cases. For example, we need to be able to integrate Sectona PAM with next-generation applications such as Docker and Lambda, as well as ITD pipelines that use privileged user data."

"As I don't have at least one to two years of experience with Sectona Privileged Access Management, I cannot share areas for improvement in the solution. To me, Sectona Privileged Access Management has reasonable pricing, but it could still be improved. I'm also unsure if Sectona Privileged Access Management could cover the requirements of large-sized companies, but for small-sized to medium-sized companies, I'd recommend the solution."

"Sectona Privileged Access Management needs to improve its stability. It needs to enhance the product's stability because of frequent updates. This is crucial for a solution like Privileged Access Management, as organizations rely on stability. When it becomes unstable, it causes panic."

"I would like to see future updates include robust support for cloud environments as organizations increasingly move towards cloud-based solutions."

"To me, Sectona Privileged Access Management has reasonable pricing, but it could still be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The solution's pricing is high."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pricing and cost advice

"The licensing cost for Sectona Privileged Access Management is reasonable, though I cannot share the figure because that's confidential information. I'm not paying for additional costs because the current license covers my requirements. I'd rate the pricing for Sectona Privileged Access Management a three on a scale of one to five."

"Sectona Privileged Access Management's pricing is relatively cheaper and aggressive. It is affordable, especially for the Indian market and globally. Compared to competitors, Sectona offers a very good price range."
