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.

Security suite has protected individual devices from threats, while installation and network features require improvements

BIG-IP is actually the LTM, Link Load Balancer, which comes with ASM, meaning Application Security Module. It consists of multiple modules, such as ASM, SWG, and a domain DNS manager. ZoneAlarm allows defining trusted and public networks, which helps maintain security in public Wi-Fi environments. It offers comprehensive protection, securing PCs against threats. Users do not experience any system slowdowns while scanning. Harmony Browser protects all your browsing activity and is bundled with Harmony Endpoint and Harmony Connect. It provides a small but effective security layer and sometimes comes packaged with the larger Harmony suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution's technical support is good."

"The user experience is good, and there are many preconfigured platforms."

"Scalability is good. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."

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

"It's relatively straightforward to set up, especially if you are deploying to the cloud."

"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."

"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the detection engine due to its ability to identify threats."

"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."

"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."

"It is quick and easy to configure."

"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."

"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."

"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."

"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."

More ZoneAlarm 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."

"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."

"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."

"Reports to the end user."

"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."

"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."

"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."

"The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."

"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."

"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."

"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."

"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."

"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."

"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."

"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."

More ZoneAlarm cons

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pricing and cost advice

"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."

"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."

"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."

"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."

"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."
