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.

One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's technical support is good."
"It scales easily and the product is stable."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Administrators need a tool that provides visibility and clarity about endpoint management within the organization. This addresses the issue of managing privileged users, which is crucial for any administrator or higher management team to control."
"BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is adaptable across Windows, macOS, UNIX, and Linux."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"Saviynt has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time for a project where we previously used a spreadsheet for manual work to keep the data."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
 

Cons

"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."
"Reports to the end user."
"There is a need for better MQ integration with DevOps and improvements in architecture."
"There are three types of endpoints. If we need to use them in the solution, then we need to purchase the licenses separately. The tool needs to improve its licensing."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"There is a need for better MQ integration with DevOps and improvements in architecture."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information."
"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is high."
"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
"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 product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"It was very expensive."
"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."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
