BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management Reviews & Product Details

This product offers excellent granular control over local admin rights and application allow listing. It removes admin rights smoothly, ensuring users remain productive, and provides robust auditing along with straightforward policy management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The process of creating and fine-tuning policies at the beginning can take quite a bit of time, and I find that the reporting interface occasionally feels awkward and sluggish, especially when compared to the smoother experience in other parts of the console.

I appreciate that, beyond just application control, it also handles privilege elevation with a variety of configuration options. Changes are implemented swiftly. It provides detailed control over what actions a user can perform and which privileges can be elevated on the machine, making it much more than a basic program controller.

After deployment it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the initial implementation to be somewhat challenging, but once everything is set up, ongoing maintenance is straightforward.

I don't find the BeyondInsight console easy to manage, in some cases I prefer the Windows management console snap-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management to be impressively simple to use, which is a major benefit. The ease of setup and configuration makes it very accessible, not only for me but also for my customers. This simplicity reduces the effort required for maintenance and ensures a maintainable solution is achievable, which is highly valued by my clients. I also appreciate the software's ability to address security concerns by ensuring that admin accounts are not present on customer endpoints, which is the best benefit it offers. The content rules feature is particularly useful as it enables people to restrict access to files effectively. However, the standout feature is the standard rules for elevating privileges on-demand or through just-in-time elevation, which I consider to be the most important capability of the software.

I would like to see the option to include options in messages (e.g. designated authentication or MFA) for better flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it helps manage user permissions without locking people out of their work. It gives just enough access for each role and that keeps the system secure without constant IT involvement. The policies are flexible and I can easily adjust privilege levels or create exceptions when needed. It also logs activity clearly so we can track changes and approvals.

The policy setup can be a bit detailed for beginners. It takes time to understand how each rule interacts and sometimes needs testing before it works smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the simplicity of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management great. It is easy to use and understandable for users without requiring training. Users can install or update their desired applications more quickly, which is very convenient. The initial setup was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind right now, since we’re building this solution from scratch and transitioning from CyberArk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is just great. I love how flexible it is for setting up custom policies, custom configurations, setting up user groups etc. it just works! I never had a problem with its working. it has given us so many great insights about what our people are doing and how they're using privileged access, the insights we might never get if we didn't had EPM. We deployed it for our developers currently for some super flexible policy and some more sctricter policies for departments that doesn't need admin rights more often. it works so well that sometimes I even forget we have a tool like this. I hardly had to use the console to do some stuff, its basically a fire-and-forget tool. our IT Ops team love it, it has drastically changed the number of IT tickets for them related to admin rights etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their API and third party integration could've been better, we had a hard time setting up some automation to approve JIT requests etc but we managed to get it done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Being able to control and secure programs that users can install/run with elevated permissions in realtime allows us IT professionals to further secure our environment.

- A versatile tool to block the uninstall of certain programs and allow the uninstall of others at the same time

- Used daily to allow permissions or change permissions of certain groups and people

- Implementing and upgrading the clients is easy if you push the client once, push their proprietary Package Manger to all PC's, then allow auto-upgrades in the web client, which also auto-updates their web adapter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Whitelisting via publisher/more secure methods such as file version, etc, sometimes seems to not work properly, instead of whitelisting an entire path which could get compromised

- Some features that need tutorials/documentation to understand are not there/not fully fleshed out, or are extremely confusing to set up, which requires a lot of testing

- Assigning permissions to application groups such as Admin tokens or Basic tokens can get confusing and also cause issues within the environment

- Basically: steep learning curve, but rewarding once learnt Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does a good job of reducing risk by letting us remove admin rights without annoying the users too much. We can allow specific apps to run with elevated rights, and it helps avoid getting blanked permissions. Once it is integrated, it works pretty goof and the audit logs are very useful.

The implementation took longer than expected, and the policy creation process wasn't very intuitive at first. Some updates caused minor disruptions, and the user interface could be a bit more modern, nothing deal-breaking though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
