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.

Remote access to private lab hosts has become smoother while session control still needs refinement
HashiCorp Boundary can be improved in a few ways. The RDP session connection was recently introduced, which was a long-time feature that everyone was waiting for. Improving the desktop client and making it more elegant, fast, and optimized would be beneficial. I saw that there are new features allowing credential injection to RDP sessions and other useful functionalities that were among the top features I was looking for. I haven't had the chance to try them yet, but I saw demos that they already exist. The role-based access and permission granting is a bit complex and not intuitive. I work by myself and don't have many users to manage, but when it comes to scale, there might be a better way to manage access. The desktop app can be improved since it is slower than I would prefer, and session timeouts are a bit opaque. You don't really know how it's handling the session; sometimes the session ends and sometimes it's still alive. I find myself reactivating a session or needing to reconnect often. It could be more organized in that sense. A feature to close all active connections would help because currently, you have to go one by one and use the mouse to click on disconnect. If you have multiple sessions open, it might take some time because once you press cancel, you have to wait for a few seconds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the asset discovery, which makes it very easy to locate and identify assets and pull them into the manager."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"It reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges."
"Technical support is good."
"It has reduced the unwanted risk and increased the security posture."
"Implementing this solution has allowed us to remove most of the credentials from those applications and move them into a proper management facility."
"The solution is definitely stable, and within the last eight years we have been able to satisfy the most demanding customers in the world, whether they have 10 users, 10,000 users, or even 100,000 users, because it is scalable."
"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."
"Using HashiCorp Boundary has saved me time and made my workflow more efficient in the specific way that I can gain access to these private instances from anywhere."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in having the solution align more with standards. We're always shoehorning the product into the standards."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"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."
"Reports to the end user."
"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."
"The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months."
"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."
"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."
"The desktop app can be improved since it is slower than I would prefer, and session timeouts are a bit opaque."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"It was very expensive."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is high."
"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."
"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
