Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."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 solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."
"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."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"It's relatively straightforward to set up, especially if you are deploying to the cloud."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"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."
"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."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"Governance."
"I like that it is easy to diagnose. It has a version of a virtual appliance so we can download it, run it, configure it, and it would take about 10 to 15 minutes to configure the cluster or so."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"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."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."
"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."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."
"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."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"Reporting could be improved."
"The Identity tool needs to do more kinds of reporting for audit purposes. It doesn't really track any of the metrics that are useful to us, at this point."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
