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 session recording enhances server access tracking while dashboard needs improvement

PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes. The automation system is very smart, although its interface is not as sophisticated as those of Dynatrace or FortiFEM. A critical advantage is its flexibility and security, providing stability across our client interactions.

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."

"BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is adaptable across Windows, macOS, UNIX, and Linux."

"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."

"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."

"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."

"Overall, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."

"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."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."

"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

"We can use it remotely as well."

"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."

Cons

"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."

"Technical support for BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management should be an enterprise edition; whoever is working in the bank sector for security purposes needs to be 100% secure on the servers."

"The product should improve its price."

"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."

"We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management."

"Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement."

"Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users."

"There is room for improvement in having the solution align more with standards. We're always shoehorning the product into the standards. It's not that it doesn't work for standards, it does. But Quick Start Policies are pretty close to what we need. The vendor needs to keep looking at GDPR, 27001, and 27701. That's why our clients buy the product."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."

"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."

"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."

"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."

"The solution's pricing is high."

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."

"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."

"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."

"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."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pricing and cost advice

"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."

"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
