BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access vs. Oracle Secure Global Desktop

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access is well suited to grand monitored privileged access to resources. It works in a proxy mode so end-users don't have direct access to servers. This can help prevent attacks on servers from users' machines since all the traffic to the servers goes through the Privileged Remote Access server which performs auth according to the policies. In cases where direct access to the servers/service from the end-user's machine is required, it is a little bit complicated to set up that kind of connection using protocol tunneling.

I believe Oracle Secure Global Desktop is better used on a larger device such as a desktop or laptop, as the Android platform is a bit confusing when initially introduced to fellow employees who were familiar with the other layout.

• questionnaire from technician for installation was difficult to follow
• after purchase of a product, an initial audio discussion with an Engineer would be great for better understanding the installation phase
• provide plans for on-premise and cloud strategies in different documents

Incentivized

• Is not supported on Apple devices.
• Support on Android - the functionality feels flimsy and the layout isn't as user friendly as I thought it would be in comparison to when it is used on a desktop platform.
• Initially, when first using the product a year or so ago, I received a lot of complaints of random error messages. Though that problem seems to have been solved in the interim.

Incentivized

• More secure
• Firewall compatible
• Privacy screen
• Application sharing

Tarantella gave us a lot of issues, but with Oracle Secure Global Desktop [we got] the huge portfolio of Oracle applications from almost any browser, without the headache of application dependencies, plugins, java etc. My fellow employees like the way Oracle Secure Global Desktop gives us the "feel" of many little desktops but with one machine.

Incentivized

• Improve security by improving the management of external remote access
• Help us meet Remote Access Compliance Requirements by creating audit trails, session forensics, and giving access monitoring and reporting data
• Simplify employee access and workflows by giving employees the exact amount of privileged access to systems and applications they need, without hindering productivity or overwhelming the service desk

• Efficiency is definitely a good description. The easy to use platform allows fellow employees to move through their online apps with ease.
• Applying new online apps is a lot easier, as we do not have to rely on a central server to pull information.
• As our client is national, it's good to have quick, reliable cloud access to all sensitive materials without worrying about security issues.
