BeyondTrust replaced the leading password management solution, offered vulnerability management and gave me a third-party patch management that integrates with Microsoft. To me, that was a win-win.

UPDATE: Since I posted this almost a year ago, BeyondTrust has decided to remove their scanning solution from their UVM (Unified Vulnerability Management ) appliance. At the end of 2019 BeyondTrust announced that they will EOL their integrated scanner (12/31/2020).
This single move has removed the benefit that BeyondTrust brought to the table, wiping out any economies of scales that justified the ROI and TCO benefit of an integrated Unified Vulnerability Management solution.
This now turns their UVM into just a Password management solution. Which is still better than CyberArk, but now lacks the additional benefit of intelligence gathering.
To make matters worse, BeyondTrust has decided to partner with Tenable to provide the replacement vulnerability scanning solution. When asked what other integrations they had besides Tenable, there was no answer. Clearly some deal was cut with no thought to their customers or their customers experience with Tenable.
Without a scanning solution, the visibility of the assets is now questionable. Where I once viewed them as a visionary and leader, it seems that the executives are reverting to their safe desks and not providing the vison necessary to stay ahead of the pack.
Unfortunately, due to BeyondTrust change in direction, their ROI is now questionable and now has to be re-thought.
The final straw was their overt push for their customers to use Tenable as a replacement for their EOL vulnerability scanner.
All I can say is that for me BeyondTrust's value has diminished tremendously due to their decision to remove themselves from the vulnerability market. I have also lost trust in BeyondTrust to listen to their customers' needs to address our challenges.
