What is BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access?

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access enables security professionals to control, monitor, and manage access to critical systems by privileged users and third-party vendors (e.g. authorized employees, contractors, etc). BeyondTrust's approach is designed to allow companies to quickly gain control of system access and protect themselves against cyberattacks without requiring time-consuming process changes.

Features for secure access, vault credentials, and audit sessions:

  • Secure Remote Access - Connection and from anywhere to critical IT systems, cloud applications, and OT systems—no VPN required.
  • Session Management - With full visibility and control over all actions, permissions, and more, in every privileged session. Ensures compliance is easily met with granular details of every session automatically recorded and logged.
  • Privileged Access Control - Enforces least privilege and just-in-time access by giving users the exact level of remote access they need — and only for the finite moments needed.
  • Flexible Consoles & Tools - Maintains secure workflows with familiar tools like Putty or Azure Data Studio and increase coverage by initiating access via mobile or web consoles.
  • Streamlined Authentication - Drives productivity and system protection with MFA, passwordless authentication, and SAML authentication optimized for smooth onboarding and access.
  • Compliance & Session Auditing - Access sessions are SOC 2 compliance-ready with audit trails, forensics, and advanced analytics using detailed session data – available in real-time or post-session.

And in accordance with zero trust tenets and principles, Privileged Remote Access helps organizations to ensure all access is appropriate, right-sized, managed, and documented across the enterprise. The solution enables just-in-time access for insiders, third-party vendors, and OT systems alike by applying granular least privilege access controls.

Privileged Remote Access can be leveraged to harden remote access pathways, prevent unwanted lateral movement, and implement application-level microsegmentation to prevent users from accessing resources for which they are not authorized.

Access sessions are managed within a centralized platform for both access control and session management. Control and monitor sessions via a secure agent, or standard protocols for RDP, VNC, HTTPS, SSH and SQL connections. Admins gain full oversight of remote session activity. They can define what endpoints users can access, schedule when they can access them, whitelist/blacklist applications during sessions, and capture detailed session data for real-time or post-session review.

These capabilities help to satisfy internal and external compliance requirements with comprehensive audit trails, session forensics, and the ability to view session recordings firsthand. Attestation reports to prove compliance are always just a few clicks away.

Community Insights

TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

Users have found the product to be extremely useful in securing their servers and ensuring secure login. Acting as a gateway between the user and the server, it provides a safe connection that has helped troubleshoot issues quickly by accessing logs for further analysis. With full visibility and control over who accesses the servers and what actions they perform, users have praised its ability to make auditing external parties/vendors easier and improve overall security awareness. By using this product, users no longer have to compromise security to allow vendors access to critical systems, solving a significant problem in maintaining secure environments. It is widely used for remote administrative access to critical systems in a secure manner for both employees and third-party vendors, making it an essential tool for IT professionals. Additionally, it has proven helpful in troubleshooting VPN connectivity issues and resolving Level 1 problems, ensuring efficient support for end-users. Recognized as an industry leader in interactive remote access, this product adds credibility during compliance audits. Highly privileged credentials are protected with password changes on a schedule, while limited access through an access code prevents unauthorized joiners. Users also benefit from its password manager function, which helps manage multiple passwords in a single sign-on environment.

Based on user reviews, here are the three most common recommendations for the product:

  1. Know your goals and budget before purchasing. Users recommend having a clear understanding of their objectives and financial constraints before investing in the product.
  2. Have in-house support for configuring the product. Many users suggest having a dedicated team or personnel within the organization who are knowledgeable about the product and can assist with its configuration.
  3. Test the product before buying. Users advise potential buyers to take advantage of any available trial versions or demos to thoroughly test the product's features and functionality.

It is worth noting that users find the program simple and easy to use with many useful possibilities. However, there are some areas for improvement mentioned, such as enhancing the chat function and improving the fluidity of screen movement. Additionally, users express a desire for a longer free trial period to fully explore all aspects of the product.

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access has replaced our VPN solution for vendors and external users/partners. It allows us to grant secure remote access to specific resources in our internal networks to those external partners. It supports many types of applications and has a good granularity in terms of the types of privileges you can allow.
  • RDP Jump
  • Shell Jump
  • Web Jump
  • Protocol Tunnel Jump
  • VNC Jump
  • Ability to have a list of allowed hosts who are allowed to remote on some specific resources
  • Improve the colors display on best quality mode (highest image resolution)
  • Match the web access console experience to the desktop client access console experience. The desktop client version of the access console offers a smooth experience while the web version shows some limitations.
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.

We are using Beyond Trust to allow 3rd party vendors to connect to specific Servers in our organization. These 3rd party vendors support their software and provide technical services to us when we ask them for assistance.
  • simple interface for users
  • good technical resources available to speak with
  • training
  • 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
This allows us to provide 3rd party vendors access to our environment from anywhere in the world, and we do not have to manage VPNs, or separate logins for each server.
  • security
  • ease of use

Bomgar Privileged Access allows us to provide remote access to our servers to an external employee in a controlled manner. Bomgar is very easy to use and very efficient.
  • It's comprehensive, intelligent and easy to use.
  • It has lots of features i.e. it allows special commands to be used whereas the other programs don't allow them.
  • This tool is effective in allowing you to access all your applications through a single sign-on page.
  • Actively manage the ongoing operational use of network devices, hardware, and application access via Secure App.
  • Bomgar Privileged Access deploys on-premises via a hardened physical or virtual appliance, or through the Bomgar Secure Cloud.
  • The menu system is a bit dated.
  • Sometimes the application takes a little longer than expected to load.
  • It has a somewhat clunky interface and some areas can accidentally be clicked causing issues due to no pop-up warning.
The Password Manager function is the main area that this solution provides tremendous benefit for me. It allows me to manage multiple passwords for different applications in a single sign-on environment.
