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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"The product is secure."

"Reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges."

"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."

"The tool is easy to use and deploy. It has PAM capabilities like privilege access. The solution helps with the management of third parties and vendors. It is an effective solution compared to other alternatives."

"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."

"I'm a BeyondTrust partner and I have multiple deployments, four or five banks right now. The features that give us quite an edge compared to what our competitors are offering - like IBM or Thycotic - are the Session Management, that is quite a big one; also the recording of keystrokes. In addition, there is the password vaulting and state-of-the-art Password Management, which I haven't seen in other products."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"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 setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."

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

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

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

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

"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."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"There are three types of endpoints. If we need to use them in the solution, then we need to purchase the licenses separately. The tool needs to improve its licensing."

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

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

"Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement."

"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."

"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."

"The product should improve its price."

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

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"The solution's pricing is high."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."
