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

"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The tool is easy to use and deploy. It has PAM capabilities like privilege access. The solution helps with the management of third parties and vendors. It is an effective solution compared to other alternatives."
"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."
"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."
"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, and helped reduce that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less."
"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, reducing that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less and decreasing the joiner-leaver lifecycle time to a couple of days, benefiting them significantly."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."
"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."
"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."
 

Cons

"If they improve their price in Bangladesh, since they do not have local partners or local trainers, clients or integrators find it difficult to reach BeyondTrust for support, service, and price quotation."
"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date. I would rather search by an error code than type in the text and search for it by text because the error code means that it is programmatic, and it is known. It might not be desired, but it at least is not unexpected. If you don't have an error code, you just get an anomalous error, and if it is lengthy, it can be difficult to search and find the specific instance you're looking for. This is something I would like all of them to improve. BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Centrify, and Thycotic could do some improvements in staying up to date and actually allowing you to search based on the product version. They are assuming that everybody is on their way to release. They put out a new release, but it is not reflected on the support site, which makes no sense to me, especially when they revamp all the error codes. They all have been guilty of this in some way."
"Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users."
"Reports to the end user."
"The product should improve its price."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
