Abdul Durrani - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables granular and secure access with just-in-time access and Zero Trust model
CyberArk provides a good amount of control over access types. However, as a future enhancement, having additional features for cross-platform integration would be beneficial. It would be good to have integrations with other tools and firewalls, such as Zscaler and CrowdStrike. Although I am not fully aware of recent updates, more cross-platform integration would be valuable. A SOC analyst would like to have centralized access in terms of information flowing in even for privileged access management. They would like to have control over everything instead of opening four to five tabs for different sorts of information. Cross-platform integration would help with that. Customers also want CyberArk's pricing to be better so that they can implement it further and have more licenses. Implementing a privileged access management solution can be challenging. It would be great if CyberArk could provide recommendations based on the compliance standards of an organization. It would help system admins ensure that all the required ports are closed and the systems are being managed properly. If any system is not being used anymore, any ports opened for that system need to be closed. Having such recommendations would be helpful.

Automating intelligence workflows significantly reduces false positives and enhances response efficiency
ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) offers valuable workflows that integrate with our SOAR platform. It performs dedicated threat scoring capabilities which enrich internal indicators and automate response actions. This has been a key feature in our environment, which we have utilized for picking IOCs. The platform can be domain-specific and customer-specific, allowing data isolation for each customer. The scoring capabilities of ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) deserve a rating of nine out of ten. Its scalability and threat scoring capabilities have reduced false positives in our detection, as we dynamically change the IOCs which are updated daily through scheduled polling time over QRadar and SOAR.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The fact that I can put my vault here in a central location on one net for example, and I'll have a CPM in California, a CPM in Texas, a CPM in New York, a CPM in Florida, and actually be able to grow with my company and not necessarily have to continue to grow my vault until I get to a certain number accounts - yet I can still manage everything across the country, if not the world - I love that. I love the flexibility and the capability of being able to pull those components out."
"It takes people out of the machine work of ensuring credentials remain up-to-date, and handles connection brokering such that human usage and credential management remain independent."
"We are able to centrally manage credentials, touch applications, and rotate passwords."
"Right off the bat, the most valuable feature is the DNA scan. It gives us the ability to scan our environment and find the accounts that we're going to need to take under control."
"Password Vault's main advantage is its scalability. We constantly see huge enterprises implementing something like this, and the privileged session management is an excellent piece. You can kind of watch videos of whatever an admin has done."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager’s ability to safeguard credentials for our organization is very important because it helps in managing the keys to the kingdom, especially the privileged access for various platforms."
"They just released Marketplace, and they are constantly releasing updates to the components and adding new components, like Conjur. This is something that we ran into with Secret Server and DevOps, so it is already scalable, but becoming more so in the future."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"I like their customer support."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
 

Cons

"There is a lot of room for improvement in the report section. I also work on other tools, such as Thycotic, which allows you to create customized reports for your organization's needs. In CyberArk, there are limited reports, whereas in Thycotic or some of the other PAM tools, because the database is different, you can customize the report based on your needs through SQL queries."
"Online help needs to be looked into with live agent support."
"There should be more models and licensing plans for this software."
"CyberArk has to continue to evolve with that threat landscape to make sure that they're still protecting those credentials that are owned by those that have privileged accounts in the firms."
"Initial setup is complex. Lots of architecture, lots of planning, and lots of education and training are needed."
"We should be able to join small components."
"The continuous scanning of the assets is limited to Windows and Unix. We like to have the solution scan any databases, network devices, and security devices for privileged accounts. That would be very helpful."
"CyberArk definitely needs to improve user experience and reduce complexity."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"

"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Quite expensive"
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."
"Pricing and licensing depend on the environment."
"CyberArk is one of the best PAM solutions and one of the most expensive, but it works better than the others, so the pricing is fair."
"With reducing the privileged account access, there has been a huge improvement. They are now bringing more accounts on a little at a time."
"I would rate the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager seven out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"I'm a technician so I don't handle the licensing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, but I know that the price for the core license is about €140 per year. There's another type of license, the external vendor license, and that's about €600 and you can manage twenty devices. From what I know, the price for one device in a subscription is about €65 per year. You can buy the CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager too, or you can buy some other application or application license with CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, but all other features, such as the Analytics Server is included in the basic CyberArk license. With WALLIX, you need to buy separate licenses for the features."
"The pricing for CyberArk is on the higher side compared to other Privileged Access Management products. Something should be done regarding enterprise licensing for long-standing customers."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
