Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc.""Scalability is good. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten.""I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable.""The privileged access and the application control are helpful in making sure we have good, robust challenge responses. Blacklisting with trusted application protection is also beneficial for us.""The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management.""Logs that get collected on the Privilege Management console from the agents are very good. They help us to identify the aspects from which we have to whitelist an application.""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 asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager."

"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature.""Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading.""It is a very complete platform.""The most valuable asset is the time-lining capability for any breach activity.""Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes.""The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs.""The whole purpose of the product, like application control, is very good, and also if you need to update some policies, it works well and instantly.""One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."

Cons
"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console.""Reports to the end user.""Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement.""The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features.""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.""It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix.""They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric.""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."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management Cons →

"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others.""Sensor deployment requires extensive fine-tuning, and creating deployment packages is time-consuming.""Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes.""Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use.""The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend.""The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security.""The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior.""Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation.​"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
  • "PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
  • "What BeyondTrust was providing was user-based licensing which was a great benefit from the client point of view. Recently, I don't know why, the licensing model has been changed, and that is the reason that they have lost a bit of their edge when it comes to the PAM, against our competition. The asset-based licensing, from the user's point of view, is not beneficial. The licensing should be based on the users. The greater the number of users, the greater will be the load and the greater the scalability problems. I presume that is why the licensing model has changed."
  • "This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
  • "Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."
  • "Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it."
  • "The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
  • "It was very expensive."

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
  • "The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."
