Improved security measures with some support response delays
For BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management, the best features are the security measures we have, such as not sharing any credentials with employees in the bank sector. For security purposes in BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management, when employees are working in the system, we can make a recording of the video, showing the modifications and configurations they made, allowing us to see everything. The recording option is available. BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management positively impacts the organization by providing more security and benefits, such as ensuring that if modifications are made, we can see where mistakes occurred in the recording video. The recording video in BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management allows us to see modifications and mistakes, which is an advantage.

Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Password management, as it is a core function; passwords are a frequent hacking point."
"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"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."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing, and it helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"I'm a BeyondTrust partner and I have multiple deployments, four or five banks right now. The features that give us quite an edge compared to what our competitors are offering - like IBM or Thycotic - are the Session Management, that is quite a big one; also the recording of keystrokes. In addition, there is the password vaulting and state-of-the-art Password Management, which I haven't seen in other products."
"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 find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"The solution is very fast, offers good authentication, makes managing passwords and access easy, ensures that access is granted only to respective people and organizations, and BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, and Splunk."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"Being able to access servers, web applications, network devices, etc. securely from anywhere, with MFA, with workflows that can be added for extra security, powerful auditing and reporting features, and easy Privileged Account Management, all backed by excellent support."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
 

Cons

"There are some features in CyberArk that are better, cheaper, or easier to implement."
"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved."
"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."
"Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users."
"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."
"It's not a 10 because the scalability and licensing have impacted us a lot."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The initial setup is a bit complex, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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