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

"Features-wise, BeyondTrust is a lot better than ARCON."

"This program has a good reputation in the market and it is more required for the security of your infrastructure."

"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."

"AI adds value by automating the onboarding of assets and using smart rules to assign privileges."

"The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management."

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

"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 user experience is good, and there are many preconfigured platforms."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

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

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

"My advice would be, if you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."

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

"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."

Cons

"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."

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

"The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler."

"They are doing good for now, but they should start to consider tight integration with Mac solutions. There should be more integration with Mac. There should be Active Directory (AD) Bridging. Thycotic and Centrify have it currently because they merged and joined forces, and it was a feature available in Centrify. So, basically, they joined forces to create a kind of perfect product. If you have a hybrid or mixed environment with Windows and Mac, your Active Directory can only manage or enforce policies on Windows, but what about your Mac devices? How do you control them? So, AD Bridging will act as a bridge to bring all your Mac devices into your Active Directory. This way you have full control over your entire environment."

"There are some features in CyberArk that are better, cheaper, or easier to implement."

"BeyondTrust is lagging on stability because it is a merger with Bomgar and so there are three, four technologies included in that."

"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."

"The software sometimes uses a lot of memory."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It was very expensive."

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."
