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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The privileged access management into sensitive systems is very valuable. That includes control from the endpoint all the way through to the managing of passwords and credentials that are used by the person to access the sensitive information. It's very useful, because nobody ever really maintains passwords for those endpoint systems. It's maintained in the Dropbox password file."

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

"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."

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

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

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

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

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management is easy to understand, particularly its menu."

"The integration with Azure Identity is a significant advantage, as it allows for seamless automation and power app integration."

"Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management is easy to understand, particularly its menu."

"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is a standout feature of Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management."

"The ability to provide just-in-time privileged access and set specific parameters for access duration is highly beneficial."

"The integration with Azure Identity is a significant advantage, as it allows for seamless automation and power app integration."

Cons

"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."

"There is a need for better MQ integration with DevOps and improvements in architecture."

"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."

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

"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."

"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."

"Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."

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

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"Sometimes, its functions, like XLOOKUP in Microsoft Excel, do not find situations properly, especially without the use of pivot tables."

"Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management could improve integration with multiple cloud environments."

"Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management has made progress in providing insights into generative AI tools being used within organizations, but customers need to further track where sensitive information is being used within AI tooling."

"I do not see any financial benefit after implementing Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management, however, this question would be better answered by my manager."

"Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management could improve integration with multiple cloud environments."

"There's room for improvement in Microsoft's documentation, as it often lacks clarity."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."

"It was very expensive."

"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."

"Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."

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

"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."

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

Privileged access management allows granular access control over privileged admin tasks in Office 365. It can help protect your organization from breaches that use existing privileged admin accounts with standing access to sensitive data or access to critical configuration settings. Privileged access management requires users to request just-in-time access to complete elevated and privileged tasks through a highly scoped and time-bounded approval workflow. This configuration gives users just-enough-access to perform the task at hand, without risking exposure of sensitive data or critical configuration settings. Enabling privileged access management in Microsoft 365 allows your organization to operate with zero standing privileges and provide a layer of defense against standing administrative access vulnerabilities.
