We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management and Fortinet FortiAuthenticator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"It scales easily and the product is stable."
"One of the valuable features is the absence of any local user in a unique system. All users are defined in the AD; communication is only between Unix and AD."
"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 most valuable feature is the asset discovery, which makes it very easy to locate and identify assets and pull them into the manager."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"I prefer the passing tool that sent an active directory console to a Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, then Fortinet FortiAuthenticator does not pass the locks."
"The solution is easy to learn and makes it easy for our users to add FortiToken. It's very easy to integrate if you have other Fortinet devices."
"For someone concerned with multifactor authentication, I'm satisfied with the product."
"Features the addition and removal of access as needed for the VPN."
"The logs have great detail that make it easier to evaluate and control the security environment."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it easy to install. The user experience is very good."
"The initial setup is so easy and there is no problem in the implementation."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"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."
"It only has limited support for Mac."
"It keeps on breaking every now and then. It is not yet mature. Every time something new comes up or we run into some new issues, the culprit is BeyondTrust because the agents and the adapter are not mature. The new development process goes on, and they're not able to handle things. It should be mature. It shouldn't break every now and then."
"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."
"The deployment process should be clarified or made simpler. It would be helpful if the solution had in-app tutorials for users to look at as they progress through the system. Sometimes we get lost and need to go back to check what exactly the function was. There should be small hints around major key functions. It would go a long way in speeding up the deployment process."
"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"The technical support team is bad."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
"I would like to see integration and customization capabilities with the end-user portal to solve authentication issues with diverse implementation scenarios."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
