Improved security measures with some support response delays
For BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management, the best features are the security measures we have, such as not sharing any credentials with employees in the bank sector. For security purposes in BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management, when employees are working in the system, we can make a recording of the video, showing the modifications and configurations they made, allowing us to see everything. The recording option is available. BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management positively impacts the organization by providing more security and benefits, such as ensuring that if modifications are made, we can see where mistakes occurred in the recording video. The recording video in BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management allows us to see modifications and mistakes, which is an advantage.

Centralized access has strengthened security and simplified day-to-day infrastructure operations
Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration. Beyond onboarding and RBAC complexity, there are areas that could be enhanced from an integration perspective. While SSO integration works well, deeper out-of-the-box integrations with SIEM and monitoring tools would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Scalability is good. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"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 privileged access management into sensitive systems is very valuable. That includes control from the endpoint all the way through to the managing of passwords and credentials that are used by the person to access the sensitive information. It's very useful, because nobody ever really maintains passwords for those endpoint systems. It's maintained in the Dropbox password file."
"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."
"The solution can do so much; it's quite flexible, a great tool, and it's nice to have administration tools without having to remember the password because you just have to click on whatever you need to do and you get temporary access."
"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."
"For a Windows/Linux/Unix mixed environment, it is a good product to management privilege account passwords to prevent security breaches."
"Teleport has positively impacted my organization by being very helpful for productivity and team collaboration, especially since the old tool we used took a lot of time to get approvals."
"Teleport definitely reduced the risks; we are no longer exposing root-level accounts for people that are meant to have an elevated account."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
"Regarding how Teleport has positively impacted my organization, I have learned a lot of things through it, I understand how to deliver and receive content, and I have learned many things related to RF signals where we lose packets."
"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."
"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."
"The best features include its main capabilities such as collecting actions and showing others what you did on the server, an easy way to connect to any bare-metal servers, and the ability to describe which servers you can use and who can connect to these servers."
 

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."
"These are related to the Flash / Java Web UI, which we know is very vulnerable."
"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date. I would rather search by an error code than type in the text and search for it by text because the error code means that it is programmatic, and it is known. It might not be desired, but it at least is not unexpected. If you don't have an error code, you just get an anomalous error, and if it is lengthy, it can be difficult to search and find the specific instance you're looking for. This is something I would like all of them to improve. BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Centrify, and Thycotic could do some improvements in staying up to date and actually allowing you to search based on the product version. They are assuming that everybody is on their way to release. They put out a new release, but it is not reflected on the support site, which makes no sense to me, especially when they revamp all the error codes. They all have been guilty of this in some way."
"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."
"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved."
"That said, having said that, it has zero intelligence in checking whether the script is legitimate or bad."
"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"I rate it a seven because, as I mentioned, there is a security threat regarding clipboard access."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"I think it should have less complexity to set up on self-hosted because it is still a difficult process and I spend a lot of time using it on self-host."
"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."
"Sometimes our devices do not reflect the error, and then we work on why it is not showing any alarm or issue, even though we experience distortion or issues on the TS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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