Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.
Sumit Chavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"The password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."
"It offers great performance."
"The product is stable."
"The tool is an endpoint management system. It monitors everything a standard user does and helps elevate privileges when necessary for advanced users. It keeps an auditable trail of all activities. Practically, it stops and blocks potentially hazardous user behavior, whether intentional or unintentional. Certain companies must use endpoint management software because of national or international rules or ISO norms."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very easy to manage, which I like. The solution also has a dashboard where you can see which software is suspicious, which I find valuable."
"What sets CyberArk apart is its continuous innovation, staying ahead of the competition."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its scalability."
 

Cons

"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM."
"While CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a great tool, I believe the functionality could be wider. If it could work not only with permissions but also involve pure EDR tasks or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, it would be great."
"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."
"The product is expensive."
"My recommendation for improvement is to add functionality for when users request access to an application. There's a pop-up UI, but it's not very customizable. I suggest creating a UI where we can write scripts or use SDKs to enhance it. This could automatically create tickets in a system like ServiceNow when users request an application. If a manager approves, we could automatically push policies to those users."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."
"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
"It is an expensive solution."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
