Prashant Uppuluri

Solution Architect at FVC

Provides critical application control and ensures security with a flexible setup process

Regarding the feedback scenario, it's a tough question as I have thoroughly gone through the entire partner portal and library of BeyondTrust, as well as BeyondTrust University. I have also interacted with support whenever a ticket is raised, ranging from P1 to P3 or P2. Most end users and partners seem happy and content with BeyondTrust. The deployment of the solution is generally easy, flexible, and scalable. However, it can be challenging in certain environments, especially regarding management. Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users. In some cases of competition, I have noted specific use cases where the recording of sessions was an endpoint for BeyondTrust, providing an edge for higher management. The ability to view recorded live sessions of specific users is a crucial benefit.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management."

"It has some features that other products don't have yet, differentiation that sets it apart in the marketplace... Those features are a centralized dashboard and the ability to issue and revoke entitlements within minutes. That makes a difference."

"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."

"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."

"The asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager."

"It scales easily and the product is stable."

"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."

"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."

"The scalability is an eight out of ten."

"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."

"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."

Cons

"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 should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."

"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 product should improve its price."

"Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."

"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in having the solution align more with standards. We're always shoehorning the product into the standards. It's not that it doesn't work for standards, it does. But Quick Start Policies are pretty close to what we need. The vendor needs to keep looking at GDPR, 27001, and 27701. That's why our clients buy the product."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."

"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."

"I want the command to be quicker."

"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."

"Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it."

"Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."

"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."

"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"What BeyondTrust was providing was user-based licensing which was a great benefit from the client point of view. Recently, I don't know why, the licensing model has been changed, and that is the reason that they have lost a bit of their edge when it comes to the PAM, against our competition. The asset-based licensing, from the user's point of view, is not beneficial. The licensing should be based on the users. The greater the number of users, the greater will be the load and the greater the scalability problems. I presume that is why the licensing model has changed."
