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

"Overall, it has proven very useful to all individuals from engineer to the 'C' class of the company."
"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."
"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 privileged access management into sensitive systems is very valuable. That includes control from the endpoint all the way through to the managing of passwords and credentials that are used by the person to access the sensitive information. It's very useful, because nobody ever really maintains passwords for those endpoint systems. It's maintained in the Dropbox password file."
"Scalability is good. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"The user experience is good, and there are many preconfigured platforms."
"I can take a customer that is non-compliant with 27001, an organization that failed their registrar audit, and get them to compliance with this product fairly quickly; in half a year."
"For a Windows/Linux/Unix mixed environment, it is a good product to management privilege account passwords to prevent security breaches."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The solution is flexible."
"The reporting is excellent."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement."
"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved."
"It only has limited support for Mac."
"The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler."
"That said, having said that, it has zero intelligence in checking whether the script is legitimate or bad."
"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."
"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."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is high."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It was very expensive."
"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."
"This solution is expensive 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."
"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 is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is moderate."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
