We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access and ISL Online based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a stable product. Based on the demos and interaction with it, it was stable."
"I like the enterprise credential manager. It's a connector that sits in PRA and tests the credentials for the end user with a process that will clean the password. This is one of PRA's primary features and simplifies user onboarding. There aren't many restrictions or complications. We can add the user while only opening one port, which is more than enough to access the PRA server. Every organization requires only four critical servers out of a hundred and some 50 production servers."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution can be implemented regardless of the operating system."
"The scalability is excellent."
"We can truly elevate our admin rights while we're in there to fully take control of a system and manage it as if it was sitting right here on our desk. Most of the organization has gone to remote work or work from home. With that being the case, this solution allows us to be able to still work with our end-users, even though they're not always sitting on our network."
"The privileged remote access platform is able to track and record everything that happens within a session."
"We like the integration with Active Directory. It allows us to discover the endpoints and user accounts that need protection. It's a good way of securing our privileged access."
"The visibility of the solution's Vault works as it is supposed to: out-of-the-box for domain accounts, endpoints, and local accounts associated with discovery jobs."
"I personally really appreciate the file transfer feature as it is really easy to use."
"We like drawing utilities inside ISL. That helps us mark specific regions on the screen, so that end users know what to focus on."
"The code can be delivered in multiple ways, including an email with a link for an unattended connection."
"Setting up the solution is easy and there's no maintenance involved."
"ISL Online is easy to use. It provides a single platform on which we can do everything, and it's very low maintenance. After installation, you don't need an IT manager or staff to watch over it. It's secure. It's most important for us."
"We can also monitor our systems at any time from practically anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is safety."
"It's much easier to connect with other services, and it's working great. We haven't had any problems."
"Its management is through two different portals, and you can't get from one portal to the other. I have to literally open up another website and go into it a different way. There are no inner links between the two. They should interlink the actual virtual server and the appliance. In general, there should be one interface for management for admins."
"They could probably integrate a wizard or something like that to add a new use case. It could be something that makes it easier to add a new use case."
"In terms of the ability to automate the creation of new accounts within it, it's still a bit laborious."
"One of our gaps or pain points is having multi-factor authentication at the endpoint and using the PRA password injection from BeyondTrust, which does not work in our environment. We can only have MFA at the login of BeyondTrust to check out the password. Therefore, we can't meet our security requirements of having it on the endpoint."
"The price is pretty expensive."
"There is no connectivity to the appliance side. There is no API, and it is just difficult for me to capture what version the device is on without going in and doing screenshots. It is a little too secure in that regard, where they don't even trust their product owner. Since a lot of hacks come from the inside, they are probably doing what they need to do out of necessity. It is just that I have to work pretty hard to produce compliance data on the box."
"Its access process for third-party vendors needs to be simplified."
"The issue I found with the product revolves around the fact that RDP and SSH sessions take too much time, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes."
"If there is an update or new feature on ISL Online, I don't know about it. I would be happy to receive a newsletter or notification of new features or updates."
"They need to better advertise the features."
"They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms."
"There could be a section in the menu describing the new features and changes."
"It would be helpful if they had iSupport for supporting Apple phones."
"We miss the possibility to communicate via head-set in ISL. At the moment, we combine ISL for visual communication with Skype for verbal communication."
"I would like to be able to access and manage all brands of smartphones."
