Secured Remote Access Solution

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • RDP Jump
  • Shell Jump
  • Web Jump
  • Protocol Tunnel Jump
  • VNC Jump

Cons

  • 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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • simple interface for users
  • good technical resources available to speak with
  • training

Cons

  • 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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
