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.

Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management

With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.

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 features I find valuable in Password Safe include password retention and management, session privilege monitoring, live monitoring and recording, and the use of PS automation scripts for creating connections."

"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 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."

"It provides integrated password and session management in one solution, which is important for us because, from an auditing standpoint, we are accountable for the type of access being used. We need to ensure that accounts are securely stored and there is the right type of accountability around who is gaining the access. After gaining it, how they're using it, where they're using it, etc."

"It reduces a lot of risks of cyber attacks, malware, and ransomware."

"The CI/CD and REST API are also satisfactory; the solution has a full PAM feature set and they all work well."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe pros

"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."

"The solution is flexible."

"The reporting is excellent."

"The solution provides secure access to environments."

"Delinea has very good support."

"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."

"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."

"Being able to access servers, web applications, network devices, etc. securely from anywhere, with MFA, with workflows that can be added for extra security, powerful auditing and reporting features, and easy Privileged Account Management, all backed by excellent support."

More Delinea Privileged Access Service pros

Cons

"If they can create a single platform to create a connector, it would be better than using the RBS server."

"We weren't aware that the Password Safe virtual appliance runs on a Windows server. As part of our monthly patching process, we ran into an issue. BeyondTrust Password Safe wasn't compatible with the patching we used to put on our server."

"From the client perspective, they usually complain that the RDP session disconnects without error notifications."

"The pricing is not cheap, but it could be better."

"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."

"The only feature they could improve is the banners because they aren't informative. For example, if something is not correct and I open the error notification, the dialogue box simply says, "This is an error." It would be great if they could provide some valuable comments about how to fix the errors."

"When we deploy BeyondTrust, we have to deploy our own database on a SQL server. It doesn't deploy the database. I wish BeyondTrust packages the whole solution in one and includes the MySQL database so that when you deploy it, it deploys everything for you. BeyondTrust gives you the software, but you are in charge of setting up your own database. It is a single appliance just for the BeyondTrust portion but not the database. Unless that has changed in later releases, you have to set up your own database for BeyondTrust Password Safe. I find that part complex because we then need the expertise and help of the database team to set it up, which also increases the deployment time. If they can deploy the database, it will reduce the deployment time."

"Adding user behavior analysis to the server or messaging would be beneficial."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe cons

"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."

"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."

"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."

"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."

"The integration with sync could be improved."

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."

"The initial setup is a bit complex."

"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has subscription-based licensing. BeyondTrust is three times less expensive than CyberArk."

"The pricing of BeyondTrust is very good as compared to other products. That was the main reason we decided to go with BeyondTrust at first."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"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."

"This solution is not cheap—it's a very expensive solution. Very, very expensive compared to the features and functions that they offer."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe pricing and cost advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."

"The pricing is moderate."

"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."

"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."

"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."

"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."

"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
