Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Securely manage high-privilege remote access with granular configurations
I recommend that we improve integration with other products like PasswordSafe, aiming for smoother integration. Better alignment between products would enhance manageability from a single point. Additionally, BeyondTrust should focus on automating the update process to reduce unnecessary ticket creation. Improved quality control for non-English language versions is needed to avoid translation and layout errors.

Our use case is for privileged account password management It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk. The password management is good. They should improve the application password management.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The secure access must be audited live, ensuring patient data protection."
"This product is very stable and scalable. This is an excellent platform."
"The scalability is excellent."
"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."
"The project goal was to allow staff to run applications with admin privileges without being admins, which was the product's most important feature."
"The features I find most effective in BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access include the advantages of password safe for anyone using their web server designing or applications."
"It's a stable product. Based on the demos and interaction with it, it was stable."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk."
 

Cons

"I would love to have a web console and the ability to use the smart card with the web console to provide remote support. If you are on a computer that doesn't have the Bomgar console, you should be able to use the web console to provide support. That's the only thing right now. A web console is nice when you're jumping into a computer, but if you need to elevate the privileges, you currently can't do it with the smart card. If they could figure that out, that would be money."
"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."
"I recommend that we improve integration with other products like PasswordSafe, aiming for smoother integration."
"With the current scenario of BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access, some analytics should come with an AI/ML base and highlight if someone is doing something risky during access."
"It would be very nice if it has an enterprise vault. Currently, it can interact with Password Safe, which is a separate solution and equivalent to Thycotic Secret Server. Instead of having Password Safe as a separate entity, they should combine it with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access. They have done it in some way, but it is not an enterprise tech solution."
"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."
"The solution is very flexible, which is a plus, but I would say the implementation requires someone with knowledge and experience, as it can be easy to get lost in all the details. The implementation process could be streamlined and simplified. Though the complexity of the solution provides greater flexibility, it requires a lot of time to understand it fully."
"Some of the capabilities in the solution were not as available or not as outstanding as CyberArk. We had to manage whatever little was available for us, especially its recording capabilities, logs, and a number of things."
"They should improve the application password management. The capability to manage high availability application passwords is its biggest shortcoming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I wish it was a little bit cheaper, but when a product is as solid as this, I understand what the cost does. It helps them to make sure it stays that way. If you want a reliable, solid product, you're going to pay more."
"Though the solution was a bit expensive, the overall pricing was average."
"PRA was one of the cheapest solutions that we evaluated."
"I wasn't directly involved in the licensing and pricing, but I can say that PRA is licensed per endpoint added to the Vault. I would advise users to take frequent exports of their license usage package; it's a simple feature that provides a spreadsheet of every machine in the Vault. This helps to cut down on duplicate licenses, which can happen by adding the same endpoint using an IP address and a fully qualified domain name, for instance. The implementation is an additional cost, and they offer several tiers, so the price varies. There are also some optional add-ons, so I would advise people to research the product well and find out precisely what they need regarding features. The Advanced Web Access add-on provides some required functionality when interfacing with websites; that's one to consider."
"My client found the solution a bit expensive but considering their use case and requirements, they didn't have any other choice. As far as I know, implementation and licensing are the only costs."
"The price is pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for and this is a great product."
"I rate the product's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is high, and ten is low. It is an expensive product."
"Don't get into a situation where you are licensing per desktop or per person until you fully understand the licensing."
