Strong security with room for enhancements in AI analytics

We integrate with our Active Directory regarding the role-based access controls in BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access.I have not yet utilized the endpoint least privilege management feature in BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access. There is a ready integration guide available for BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access, so there are no major issues. All API integration is available to integrate with. More organizations are moving towards cloud infrastructure with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access. They are choosing this because they do not want to manage their on-premises and other hardware infrastructure. As we are not working with other vendors, I would rate BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access a 10 out of 10.

Security has improved with monitored privileged sessions but the complex interface still needs work

I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic, but I have no clue about how much it costs. When I say it is not easy to use, I mean the interface is complex, but it might not be directly linked to the product; it might be linked to the way we implemented it in our context. The way we have to connect to a third Bastion and then launch another session bothers me. We also have some limitations, but I think this is linked to our context regarding how many times the session can stay open on the Windows session, which is not aligned with my needs. I am more of a promoter of other kinds of handling privileged access management with my use case, but it might not be linked to the tool; it is just because the implementation we made is not what I expect for my needs and it is not the way I want to work on my servers. In the past, I used the leader in PAM but cannot remember the name. I was more satisfied because the connection was more straightforward: I click on a button, make my authentication, and have my servers open, and this is the way I want it. The UI was the main reason why I thought the previous tool I was using was better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like all of it. You can access computers that are on a DMZ. You can access computers that are off the network and on the network. You pretty much have access to computers wherever they are. As long as they have the client on them, you can get to them. So, it is convenient, but its main feature is that you can use your smart card to elevate your privileges remotely. That's a great feature."

"It's one of the most secure products in the market; they have really great support, it's everything that we need, like a Swiss knife, and we can do everything with it to produce what we need for Privileged Remote Access reasons."

"Based on the feedback from my colleagues who have never complained about the technical support, I would say that the product's support team is good."

"More organizations are moving towards cloud infrastructure with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access."

"This product is the de facto standard, based on function features, installation, and customer base."

"The most valuable feature is that this solution can be implemented regardless of the operating system."

"The privileged remote access platform is able to track and record everything that happens within a session."

"If I need a privileged remote access solution in my future endeavors, BeyondTrust's offering will be my go-to, and I recommend it for any size of business."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access pros

"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."

"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

"Technical support is very good; they have their own ticket system that is available for all customers and their system is already in different languages, for example, English, French, and, for us, Russian."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"It would be very nice if it has an enterprise vault."

"The SaaS offering isn't particularly scalable; the more endpoints we added, the more sluggish the tool became."

"When doing protocol panel jumps, the tool does not restrict what is recorded on the user's computer."

"With the current scenario of BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access, some analytics should come with an AI/ML base and highlight if someone is doing something risky during access."

"Changing your password should be simplified, and there should not be a charge for it."

"They could probably integrate a wizard or something like that to add a new use case. It could be something that makes it easier to add a new use case."

"The solution is very flexible, which is a plus, but I would say the implementation requires someone with knowledge and experience, as it can be easy to get lost in all the details."

"In terms of the ability to automate the creation of new accounts within it, it's still a bit laborious."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access cons

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting or behavioral analysis limited. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My client found the solution a bit expensive but considering their use case and requirements, they didn't have any other choice. As far as I know, implementation and licensing are the only costs."

"Its price is pretty good for the features and services that it provides. It is not outrageous. I'm not aware of any additional charges or anything like that."

"I wish it was a little bit cheaper, but when a product is as solid as this, I understand what the cost does. It helps them to make sure it stays that way. If you want a reliable, solid product, you're going to pay more."

"The price is pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for and this is a great product."

"PRA was one of the cheapest solutions that we evaluated."

"I wasn't directly involved in the licensing and pricing, but I can say that PRA is licensed per endpoint added to the Vault. I would advise users to take frequent exports of their license usage package; it's a simple feature that provides a spreadsheet of every machine in the Vault. This helps to cut down on duplicate licenses, which can happen by adding the same endpoint using an IP address and a fully qualified domain name, for instance. The implementation is an additional cost, and they offer several tiers, so the price varies. There are also some optional add-ons, so I would advise people to research the product well and find out precisely what they need regarding features. The Advanced Web Access add-on provides some required functionality when interfacing with websites; that's one to consider."

"Though the solution was a bit expensive, the overall pricing was average."

"I rate the product's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is high, and ten is low. It is an expensive product."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
