We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management and Symantec Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"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."
"It's relatively straightforward to set up, especially if you are deploying to the cloud."
"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 implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."
"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."
"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."
"It's good for large organizations. It's able to handle a lot of users."
"The most valuable feature is the virus and malware detection capability."
"This solution has helped us because it is really useful for blocking all kinds of viruses."
"Threat protection has always worked well."
"The centralized console is great for us. It gives us one centralized console to manage all of the endpoints."
"The most valuable feature for our organization is the antivirus, as our staff is the target of zero-day malware and viruses."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management."
"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."
"The product should improve its price."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"They are lacking the visibility that you get in a heuristical, next-generation AI product."
"Reporting in this solution needs improvement."
"Need to improved orchestration for broken clients fixes."
"If the agent can be minimized so that it can work with in-memory concepts, that would be ideal. As of now, it is file-based, signature-based."
"The malware and ransomware protections could be improved, which was ultimately the reason why I stopped using the solution."
"If a machine is infected by ransomware, it's hard to recover the data. We don't have any data on the client, so we're not overly concerned about that. Still, it would be nice to have this feature if there are any future problems."
"Its GUI needs improvement. It's good, but it needs to be improved in terms of management and reporting."
"If there is a suspicious file, it is put into a sandbox where Symantec does an analysis. After the analysis, Symantec marks the file as a risk, but it doesn't blacklist or block the file. If a file is already known to be harmful, I would like them to automatically block or blacklist it to reduce the damage."
