We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing.""I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable.""Logs that get collected on the Privilege Management console from the agents are very good. They help us to identify the aspects from which we have to whitelist an application.""Technical support is good.""The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management.""The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online.""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.""It scales easily and the product is stable."

"The solution is stable.""It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections""The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project.""When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy.""The solution was easy to deploy.""Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers.""The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules.""Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."

Cons
"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.""The product should improve its price.""They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric.""The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler. It would be helpful if the solution had in-app tutorials for users to look at as they progress through the system. Sometimes we get lost and need to go back to check what exactly the function was. There should be small hints around major key functions. It would go a long way in speeding up the deployment process.""The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features.""Reports to the end user.""We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management.""It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management Cons →

"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon.""The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android.""Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory.""it's very dependent on an active directory""The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago.""There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve.""The license could be better.""The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
  • "PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
  • "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."
  • "This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
  • "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."
  • "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 →

  • "We pay approximately $6.50 per user for the standard version. If you are paying for an enterprise license that includes VDI then it will cost approximately $25 per user on a monthly basis."
  • "Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "A person should pay towards the licensing costs of VMware Identity Manager on a yearly or monthly basis, but government and public sector units cannot for a perpetual licensing model."
