PawanShirose - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Security Consultant at CyberSec Consulting
Has enabled bulk onboarding and password rotation while ensuring secure privilege management
I have faced stability issues when upgrading BeyondTrust Password Safe solution. The upgrade process can be lengthy compared to other modules. For example, upgrading the appliance and reconfiguring HA is easier in PRA. However, in BeyondTrust Password Safe, the upgrade activity can take longer, and I have occasionally experienced being stuck during appliance version upgrades, sometimes duplicating the upgrade. Regarding additional features, we have good features in BeyondTrust Password Safe compared to other modules, such as Secret Safe to secure secrets and the check-in, check-out functionality. We already have the main features, but I think it would be helpful if BeyondTrust implemented a heartbeat check feature on the privileged account level. This feature would allow PAM to check the credentials of privileged accounts, indicating if they are correct or not, showing if the heartbeat has failed if they are wrong.

Straightforward to scale, has good auto-fill capabilities, and allows us to share passwords without them being visible to other team members
It would be good to have some kind of best use cases, tips, and tricks on the platform. In terms of implementation, it took us a little bit longer to implement it, but on the whole, we're happy with the product. There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company. It could be a little bit cheaper.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Based on having experience with three or four other competing solutions, I would give BeyondTrust a 10 out of 10."
"The flexibility of the licensing model is significantly better as it offers both unlimited users and unlimited devices, unlike Delinea, which is based on the number of users."
"Smart Rules is a nice feature in BeyondTrust. It is a unique feature that BeyondTrust has as compared to other vendors such as CyberArk. With Smart Rules, you can do automatic onboarding of accounts. There are a lot of options and features. For example, you can do onboarding based on different AD attributes. It is a nice feature in BeyondTrust that some of the other PAM vendors don't have. With other vendors, we have to create our own scripts, whereas, with BeyondTrust, we can just use the in-built Smart Rules."
"It reduces a lot of risks of cyber attacks, malware, and ransomware."
"The ability to manage privileged account passwords is the most valuable feature, giving us the capability of rotating passwords as soon as an event is triggered."
"Password Safe provides integrated password and session management in one solution."
"The actual innovations offered by the vendor stand out to me. They are quick to respond to market demands and the changing environment of privileged access management."
"Team Passwords gives us better control over our passwords."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members, and the auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"The solution is easy to use, the performance has been good, the integration capabilities have been good, and it is very stable and quite secure."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature; it works really well, and the ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
 

Cons

"From a management and audit perspective, we've seen a lot of improvement because now, we're secure in the sense that we know where that access is coming from, and we know who is requesting the access, but from a user perspective, it has been negative."
"The pricing is not cheap, but it could be better."
"The early version of this solution was not stable. It was terrible, but I think they eventually got their act together and it's better now so that they can compete."
"If there was one thing, it would be having the documentation standardized. They should keep the documentation consistent. For example, when BeyondTrust updated one of their admin guides, they left out the information on the discovery account requirements, and then over a period of time, we ended up having to search multiple different documents to put together a string of information for a specific topic, which was problematic. It was minor, but it was problematic. Standardized documentation would be the one thing I would suggest."
"I think that BeyondTrust Password Safe could be improved with more testing. In the beginning, they were practically using customers as beta testers. Maybe the product has evolved since I last used it, but if you look at PAM, privileged access management, whatever's out there has already been done. I don't see there being any other enhancements that are being made regarding PAM, except to support more cloud-based applications."
"From the client perspective, they usually complain that the RDP session disconnects without error notifications."
"We don't have much control over the appliance. When anything happens in the backend, we have to depend on the support team. We need to raise a case so that they can update the appliance. If we have control over it, we would be able to troubleshoot easily."
"The integration with Secure Remote Access must be improved."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company. It could be a little bit cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We just pay for Password Safe. Session management is included, but we don't use it. There aren't any additional costs besides the standard licensing fees. We pay for an annual license."
"It has subscription-based licensing. BeyondTrust is three times less expensive than CyberArk."
"The product is quite affordable."
"The pricing structure is better than the competitors. It's much cheaper than CyberArk. They do the licensing on the basis of assets, not on the number of users. For CyberArk, they base the licensing on the number of users, and they have an expensive model of pricing. BeyondTrust has a cheaper model."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"At the time, BeyondTrust was significantly cheaper than CyberArk. Pricing-wise, if I remember correctly, it goes by assets. The pricing was negotiated for our instances based on the number of assets that we onboard into the system. It is a little different from CyberArk, where the pricing is by users. So, it depends. If you have a lot of assets, it can get very expensive."
"This solution is not cheap—it's a very expensive solution. Very, very expensive compared to the features and functions that they offer."
"When you buy Password Safe and perform your initial Discovery, you have all these servers that are added to your assets in BeyondTrust, but you're not using a license until you actually start managing the systems. BeyondTrust's licensing is based on the systems when they're managed, which means when an administrator is able to connect to the server through BeyondTrust with a managed account. There would be a privileged account on the endpoint when the licensing starts. A significant advantage to that is that there are many organizations that want to evaluate their environment prior to automatic management."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
