Featured Reviews

Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
Offers solid performance and user adaptability but needs better pricing options and local support
BeyondTrust is a strong, compliance-driven solution with excellent market recognition (Gartner, Peers, etc.), making it appealing for Bangladeshi enterprises. However, some key improvements could accelerate adoption: Areas for Improvement: Pricing & Local Affordability While the product’s capabilities justify its value, cost remains a barrier for many Bangladeshi organizations. Competitive pricing or regional discounts would make it more accessible. Local Support & Partnerships Currently, lack of local partners or trainers creates delays in support, implementation, and pricing negotiations. Establishing a Bangladesh-based support team or authorized resellers would improve responsiveness and trust. Enhanced Onboarding & Training Offering localized training programs (in Bengali/English) and documentation would help IT teams deploy and manage the solution more efficiently. Recommendations for Next Release: Introduce tiered pricing for emerging markets like Bangladesh. Develop a partner network in Bangladesh for faster service and sales. Add simplified dashboards for easier monitoring by non-technical staff. Final Note: BeyondTrust is already a top-tier PAM solution, but addressing these gaps would solidify its leadership in Bangladesh’s growing cybersecurity market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is straightforward, it is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"When it comes to the PAM, I don't think that any application can compete with BeyondTrust, except for the financial issue that has been recently affected by the change in the licensing model."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"Logs that get collected on the Privilege Management console from the agents are very good. They help us to identify the aspects from which we have to whitelist an application."
"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."
"This program has a good reputation in the market and it is more required for the security of your infrastructure."
"Implementing this solution has allowed us to remove most of the credentials from those applications and move them into a proper management facility."
"What I liked about this solution is that it can also integrate for tracking malicious use or sending analytics to a host that can process them. I don't know if CyberArk, Centrify, or Thycotic can do that. The analytics was something the client really wanted, and they already had BeyondTrust. It is very scalable. The agent on the workstation is very thin, and the processing power required on a server is nothing out of the ordinary. It is also very stable and easy to deploy."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"The reporting is excellent."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
 

Cons

"There are been cases that we are handling that have been going on for a year now. Even though they are an industry leader, they haven't been able to solve a small problem."
"The help system should be improved to provide a quick help guide with each tab within the solution, which explains what each particular function does."
"They are doing good for now, but they should start to consider tight integration with Mac solutions."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"Technical support for BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management should be an enterprise edition; whoever is working in the bank sector for security purposes needs to be 100% secure on the servers."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"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."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
"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."
"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"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."
"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
