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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the architecture capabilities, which allow designated server components for high availability and failover. It works well with identity and access management solutions, allowing users to be automatically onboarded and offboarded. The account mapping feature makes rollout seamless. The session monitoring capabilities are excellent, with keystroke and graphical monitoring. This enhanced our security posture by providing detailed accounts of user actions. It helped us pass our SOX audits."

"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."

"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."

"Automation in BeyondTrust Password Safe uses Smart Rules, which eliminate the need for manual onboarding and effectively handle multiple bulk tasks, such as onboarding and mapping."

"I rate BeyondTrust Password Safe as an overall 10 out of 10."

"Based on having experience with three or four other competing solutions, I would give BeyondTrust a 10 out of 10."

"The solution protects organizations from internal and external threats."

"BeyondTrust Password Safe provides flexibility for customized application integration."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe pros

"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."

"The reporting is excellent."

"The stability and performance are excellent."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."

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

"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."

"Delinea has very good support."

Cons

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

"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 effectiveness of BeyondTrust Password Safe's session management capabilities for SSH and RDP is pretty much robust, but it needs more improvement for other applications and web-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."

"If there was one thing, it would be having the documentation standardized."

"The initial server implementation tasks could be easier to process."

"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."

"We face screensaver timeout issues and problems with the server. I would like the product to include a server visibility feature."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex."

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

"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."

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

"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."

"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The product is quite affordable."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Password Safe pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is moderate."

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

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

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

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

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

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