We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."I would say session management on the go is the most valuable feature. When the session is going on, you can stop the session without terminating it for justification. You can cancel it. The recording takes very little space. Those are some things which the customers are worried about when they talk about session recording."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"The privileged access and the application control are helpful in making sure we have good, robust challenge responses. Blacklisting with trusted application protection is also beneficial for us."
"The tool is easy to use and deploy. It has PAM capabilities like privilege access. The solution helps with the management of third parties and vendors. It is an effective solution compared to other alternatives."
"Reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges."
"It scales easily and the product is stable."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"It keeps on breaking every now and then. It is not yet mature. Every time something new comes up or we run into some new issues, the culprit is BeyondTrust because the agents and the adapter are not mature. The new development process goes on, and they're not able to handle things. It should be mature. It shouldn't break every now and then."
"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date. I would rather search by an error code than type in the text and search for it by text because the error code means that it is programmatic, and it is known. It might not be desired, but it at least is not unexpected. If you don't have an error code, you just get an anomalous error, and if it is lengthy, it can be difficult to search and find the specific instance you're looking for. This is something I would like all of them to improve. BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Centrify, and Thycotic could do some improvements in staying up to date and actually allowing you to search based on the product version. They are assuming that everybody is on their way to release. They put out a new release, but it is not reflected on the support site, which makes no sense to me, especially when they revamp all the error codes. They all have been guilty of this in some way."
"The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months."
"It only has limited support for Mac."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"The other area to improve is that they rely on MS SQL servers only. You cannot have any other database behind them. They have to be on MS SQL. If they can do something about these issues, this would be a better alternative for some customers."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"The product should improve its price."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
