Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It allows us to not make users local administrators on their machines while not impacting their ability to install legitimate business use software.

Pros

Elevates installs when allowed
Allows administrators to elevate non policy items
Allows us to not make end users local administrators on their machines

Cons

Maybe some minor UI changes

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need something to manage users/installs because of not allowing them to be local administrators, this is the way to go. It's easy to update your policies and push them out and gives you control over what can be installed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is used to increase user productivity. Indeed, some applications or functions need admin privileges but our users are not local administrator so they had to open a support case each time they need it. Now, these specified applications are dynmically elevated and usable by allowed users and they are able to do their job easily. Moreover, least privilege is now enforced to maintain the higher security level

Pros

Allow applications updates without IT need
Block dangerous applications
Block unknown applications
Elevate some windows basic function as installing local printer

Cons

Mobile application to approve workflow
Quick start Auto update
Policy hit information

Likelihood to Recommend

BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is an easy setup solution thanks to quickstart and we can deploy it on Windows and Mac equaly.
The Cloud deployment is perfect because we don't have anything to manage from the platform and updates are automatically managed with the packager tool. Lastly, analytics allows to have full visibility and map used applications in the company

Tons of features for a PAM solution

January 31, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed a solution that would allow secure access to our OT/SCADA/DCS network for both internal users and vendors. We evaluated a few vendors but decided on BeyondTrust since their solution provided a wide variety of features at the optimal price point. We have it deployed globally at all mine sites using distributed environments.

Pros

Reporting capabilities for user activities, including complete session recordings
Integration with SAML for SSO and secure LDAP authentication
Jump point servers for central isolated access from outside the network

Cons

There is an extremely steep learning curve.
To set this up effectively, you will need their professional services.
Web Jump (HTTPS) is not included in the base license. This should have been included by default, as it is a standard remote access method.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need secure monitoring of access to an OT network, this is the solution for you. It tracks and records everything. This is not recommended for standard remote access VPN for end users, as there is a learning curve. I would only recommend it for access to networks that need to be fully secure.

BeyondTrust Endpoint Management Software for Software Management

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

July 11, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege management software is being used across my entire project as a tool to prevent malicious software from being installed on our laptop workstations. The business problems it addresses is primarily cybersecurity within our devices that we use in enterprise. Our local technology support team primarily manages this product and it gives us the capability to do our work and install certain programs with elevated status as necessary.

Pros

security
endpoint protection
access management

Cons

design
user experience
software functionality

Likelihood to Recommend

BeyondTrust is well suited to do the job in business environments where you need to have something working in the background to ensure users stay protected and malicious programs don't get installed. For scenarios where we've got developer environments, this software interferes more as it doesn't allow certain software and libraries to be installed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used as a privileged account management solution in our organization. It is being deployed to all developers and administrators who have access to our servers. It addresses our security concerns as well as potentially keeping the users from abusing privileges.

Pros

Password management and Secure access to servers
Ability to remotely log a session off
Administrators having the capability to view the changes made on a specific server through the recording mechanism
Integrates well with any servers both on-prem and on cloud

Cons

Difficult set-up process. Takes numerous iterations of setting up
GUI is not user-friendly. Hard to understand the options available and what they do unless you spend a lot of time working on it
Might be expensive depending on the licenses you purchase.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is an absolute must in all organizations where security is taken seriously. For organizations where there is a tendency among the users' end to abuse access privileges, this tool comes in handy. It has features that would enable the administrator to look through video logs to see what was done by a specific user. Also has the capability to terminate or lock users/ user sessions.

Local Admin free, this is the product

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used PBW for several years now and have been overall pleased with the results. Our primary goal to rid users of needing local admin has been solved. Disclaimer: To be fair, we didn't take too much time to first compare with other vendors, but being that I personally had experience with the product, we landed right away on BT.

Only issues we have run into revolve around either crafting specific rules for applications that are tricky to write for. Also,new versions of the product or a new (Microsoft & MAC) OS, you need to be very careful to check for compatibility, as it's a kernel-mode filter driver! Their support have been quite helpful.

Pros

Solved our primary goal to rid users of needing local admin
Their support have been quite helpful

Cons

Better communication to customers on new release compatibility
Crowd-sourced rule logic for specific applications would be nice (I hear underway)
Technical support processes could be a bit improved

Likelihood to Recommend

Goal of removal of local admin rights will be solved. Initial application rule logic a bit tough to get going, but sales engineering team are very helpful with this. Then, ongoing maintenance, other than worrying about new releases, should go smoothly without adding too much on-site support complexity. Best to keep app rule logic as simple as possible.
