Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."It has some features that other products don't have yet, differentiation that sets it apart in the marketplace... Those features are a centralized dashboard and the ability to issue and revoke entitlements within minutes. That makes a difference."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"Technical support is good."
"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."
"It scales easily and the product is stable."
"The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."
"Scalability is good. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"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."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There are three types of endpoints. If we need to use them in the solution, then we need to purchase the licenses separately. The tool needs to improve its licensing."
"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 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."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."
"We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management."
"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
