Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."The asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"I'm a BeyondTrust partner and I have multiple deployments, four or five banks right now. The features that give us quite an edge compared to what our competitors are offering - like IBM or Thycotic - are the Session Management, that is quite a big one; also the recording of keystrokes. In addition, there is the password vaulting and state-of-the-art Password Management, which I haven't seen in other products."
"I would say session management on the go is the most valuable feature. When the session is going on, you can stop the session without terminating it for justification. You can cancel it. The recording takes very little space. Those are some things which the customers are worried about when they talk about session recording."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"The product is secure."
"The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management."
"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"Governance."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"The product should improve its price."
"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."
"It only has limited support for Mac."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."
"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."
"The help system should be improved to provide a quick help guide with each tab within the solution, which explains what each particular function does."
"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 drawback with the CA Identity Manager is they don't have a connector to HR systems like SAP, or PeopleSoft, or Workday. That's a major drawback with the CA Identity Manager. For that we have to do lots of custom quoting to get data from HR systems. And if they could connect it to GRC systems, that's good to have in an identity product."
"It has a large footprint which you'd expect to be much, much smaller. Just to run basic services, we have 10 different servers. Also, if it were easier to manage, that'd be useful."
"The Identity tool needs to do more kinds of reporting for audit purposes. It doesn't really track any of the metrics that are useful to us, at this point."
"The reporting functions."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
