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.

Identity management enhances connectivity and productivity with streamlined access and robust security, offering time-saving processes and facilitating seamless integration with other BI tools

One area that could be improved with SAP Identity Management, other than support, is user engagement from an implementation perspective. It would be beneficial for SAP to extend their events and workshops that are currently performed for partners to their final customers, as many customers want to know what's new and what else they can do without solely depending on the partners. For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers. The support could be improved for the specific needs in Brazil, as many customers have difficulty accessing the support center due to the language barrier. This feedback is specific to Brazil, though it's unclear if SAP receives similar feedback from other countries. It could certainly be enhanced with Portuguese documents, among other improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges."

"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."

"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."

"One of the valuable features is the absence of any local user in a unique system. All users are defined in the AD; communication is only between Unix and AD."

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

"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."

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

"AI adds value by automating the onboarding of assets and using smart rules to assign privileges."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration."

"The setup process is straightforward."

"The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles."

"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."

"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."

"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time."

"Some processes that they used to perform in two to three days now take one to two hours, which has been really beneficial for them regarding the time saved."

"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly."

Cons

"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."

"There is a need for better MQ integration with DevOps and improvements in architecture."

"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."

"It only has limited support for Mac."

"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."

"We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management."

"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."

"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."

"For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers."

"One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."

"I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."

"The pricing could be better."

"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."

"Research and marketing need to be improved."

More SAP Identity Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."

"It was very expensive."

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

"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."

"The solution's pricing is high."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pricing and cost advice

"When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."

"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
