BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management vs. Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen

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.

As mentioned earlier, privacy and financial transaction threats will continue to risk with the current and rapid rise in tech tools/computer software. And handling such threats is NOT a core competency for many businesses. So, a paid version of such a robust systems comes well recommended - especially for those users who often use mobile banking or pay via cellphone apps

• The level of detail in the logs is very comfortable
• Virtual patching that you use is unique
• Consumes few system resources
• Its high rate of effectiveness in detecting threats

• 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

• Ability to detect cyber attack and response to cyber attacks can be improved.
• Support for advanced malware, botnets can be improved.

BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is really usable thanks to the Cloud platform that provide central management, analytics, updates and policy definitions. For policies, quickstart covers around 80% of the overall configuration and we just have to define home made applications and dedicated use cases. From the user perspective, messages can be customized so it's easy to understand for user and they have an endpoint application to follow workflows approval.

We deployed the trial version of Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen. The trial was applied to 3 users including one from accounts to check all angles. Considering the overall performance, as detailed in prior specifics, we found it to be a very close contended to Spybot-Search and Destroy, that we have been using since 10++ years. In fact, since the later does not have an andriod app, we are, most likely, shifting to this product after locating and evaluating 2-3 close competitors. Our experience with Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen began with its free "Trend micro housecall" around 8 years before. The minuses - 1. It does seem to be a little more resource intensive vs. Spybot search and destroy 2. The absence of cookie cleaning and associated tiered options (the kind of cookies I want to retain or delete) is one big gap

The product performed to the level of our requirements.

I have only had to contact technical support once, which in itself shows what a good product this is, and I received spot-on advice from the person I contacted.

The in person training was great. Very informative and the trainer was great. I would highly recommend this option if you're hesitant. Any questions can then be directed to support. Support is great as well, and will definitely help answer any questions. I would definitely
recommend adding some type of training as it was very helpful for our
staff.

It was informative and very helpful. They provide a lot of courses that give you exactly what is needed to manage the product. Any questions can then be directed to support. I would definitely recommend adding some type of training as it was very helpful for our staff. The online training sufficed for us.

BeyondTrust was super helpful with implementation and it only took a few weeks to get it up and running.

BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management has more features than CyberArk and more detailed options for configurations. BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is more focused on setting up access-related endpoints, which requires some fine tuning and understanding for use cases where a single endpoint has to be shared with multiple vendors. CyberArk's setup is more geared to users' accounts and then endpoint management under the user accounts.

Everything I've used and installed before and since has been easier to implement and support. TM had attractive pricing, however, that was negated by the overall experience.

It's very easy to deploy with minimal interruption.
