The Forrester Wave is an evaluation of vendors in the software, hardware, or services markets, driven by the analysis of data collected from the marketplace and the experience of participating analysts. Beyondtrust was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in its Q3 2016 Forrester Wave evaluation.

The evaluation criteria for the Forrester Wave are grouped into three high-level categories: Current Offering, Strategy, and Market Presence. The Forester Wave evaluation gave Beyondtrust the highest scores possible for the categories of users, roles, and helpdesk integration, and also for privileged session management and recording.

In addition, Beyondtrust was top ranked in the Current Offering category, as well as in the top three for the Strategy and Market Presence categories (tied). In the Strategy category, Beyondtrust received the highest score possible in proportionate solution development strength. For Market Presence, Beyondtrust received the top score possible in PIM subscription and perpetual license and maintenance revenue.

“This is a proud moment for us at Beyondtrust. To be included as a leader in this competitive environment by a prestigious group of analysts is something we do not take for granted,” said Kevin Hickey, CEO of Beyondtrust. “As we move forward, we plan to take the feedback from the report and build upon our strengths to continue driving innovation, and enhancing our PIM solutions.”
