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.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement

The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."

"The product is secure."

"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."

"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."

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

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

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

"Overall, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."

"Technical support for BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management should be an enterprise edition; whoever is working in the bank sector for security purposes needs to be 100% secure on the servers."

"Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."

"Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement."

"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."

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

"It only has limited support for Mac."

"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."

"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."

"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."

"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 solution's price is mid-ranged."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
