TL;DR
The Beylerbeyi Palace garden is quite modest and not worth a special trip. For a proper palace garden experience, Dolmabahçe is the better choice.
Note that the Dolmabahçe garden and the museum garden are two different places. The Dolmabahçe garden is only accessible as part of the palace visit, not separately.
The Beylerbeyi Palace garden is very modest and not worth a detour on its own. The palace interior is beautiful, though the exterior is currently under scaffolding. For a proper palace garden stroll, Dolmabahçe is a much better option.
If you live nearby and want a quick pleasant garden walk at Beylerbeyi without spending half a day, it's not the best option. The garden is small and unimpressive, and won't make for a satisfying short visit.
