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.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement

The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

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."

"PRA stands on its own as a full solution. This is important because it reduces the need to maintain a lot of different services. Also, the integration between those services are sometimes not easy to maintain. So, having a solution like BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access reducing our workload gives us enough time to work on our other issues. The system just runs and does what it is supposed to do."

"The secure access must be audited live, ensuring patient data protection."

"Its initial setup process is straightforward."

"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."

"One of the features that I really like about it is the ability to set a start date, time, and end date for the access. For example, you can set the access for a person from tomorrow, Monday, or Tuesday and ending on a specific period of the day or a specific date. That's really quite helpful."

"Its security, simplicity, and ease of deployment and maintenance are the most valuable. It is FIPS compliant, so it goes through severe penetration testing every one year or two years. They have to maintain this compliance. It is very safe. Customers have been using it in the last eight years because of the simplicity of getting it deployed quickly. Most of the people using the solution had been hacked already, so they needed it quickly. As compared to the other solutions in the market, it can be turned on in production very quickly. You don't really need to have a server. It can be deployed very rapidly on VMware or Hyper-V, and you don't need to do an installation. It is a kind of an all-included package that you just deploy in a VM environment. It is basically a VM that is specifically built for a customer. The way the PRA data solutions work is that you need to build them for each customer because of being hard-coded with their SSL certificate, their web page name, and all that."

"The scalability is excellent."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access pros

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

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

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

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

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

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

"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."

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

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"There is no connectivity to the appliance side. There is no API, and it is just difficult for me to capture what version the device is on without going in and doing screenshots. It is a little too secure in that regard, where they don't even trust their product owner. Since a lot of hacks come from the inside, they are probably doing what they need to do out of necessity. It is just that I have to work pretty hard to produce compliance data on the box."

"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. The implementation process could be streamlined and simplified. Though the complexity of the solution provides greater flexibility, it requires a lot of time to understand it fully."

"Customer support used to be faster with chat options available. However, support now requires opening a ServiceNow ticket, which can be time-consuming."

"The issue I found with the product revolves around the fact that RDP and SSH sessions take too much time, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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 integration client, backup solution, and SSO setup and provisioning could be improved. There isn't any documented or supported user provisioning currently, which slows down the processes of onboarding and assigning permissions. I would like to see this improved soon."

"Multiple areas can be improved. We've seen lots of updates in the past year. They have a portal where we can submit our ideas. BeyondTrust is immediately implementing user suggestions. The UI could be more informative. Initially, there were two or three connectors, and now we have five or six. It would be nice if they added a few more connectors for third-party integration. There are multiple tools, but the clients may require more for their convenience."

"The integration of the solution with many platforms is a difficult area to manage and needs to be made easy."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access cons

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

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

"There could be more automation features for the solution."

"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

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

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

"Don't get into a situation where you are licensing per desktop or per person until you fully understand the licensing."

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

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

"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."

"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."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

Overview

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (formerly Bomgar Privileged Access) lets you secure, manage, and audit vendor and internal remote privileged access without a VPN.

Features include:

- Privileged Access Control: Enforce least privilege by giving users the right level of access.
