Most organizations are seeking to better control identities and privileged access, but are struggling to do so across an increasingly complex IT estate. In many cases, teams must contend with multiple cloud providers and services, each with its own permission models and built-in toolsets. And without a centralized way to manage these separate cloud environments, these teams miss out on finding, controlling, and securing privilege pathways that cross federated identity sources, opening up their organizations to increased risk.

Microsoft's Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) tool (formerly called Azure PIM / Azure AD PIM) offers enhanced control and auditing in front of Entra ID's more sensitive roles and resources, as well as other Azure and Entra components. However, it lacks the PIM depth and breadth of capabilities and maturity modern threat defenses demand. Moreover, the Microsoft tool's capabilities don't help address privilege-centric problems past the boundaries of the Microsoft environment, meaning it's yet another siloed toolset to be managed.

BeyondTrust offers a different approach, taking PIM capabilities far beyond the bounds of a single cloud provider to enable critical identity security and business use cases across all your domains.

Learn how the BeyondTrust solution directly compares to the Entra PIM tool in this guide. You'll benefit from:

  • An overview of Microsoft Entra PIM and BeyondTrust PIM / PAM
