A secure solution that needs to improve JumpCloud integration
The tool's most valuable feature is security.  We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud.  I have been using the product for more than two years.  1Password is stable.  My company has 200 users for the product.  The tool's deployment is easy.  The tool's pricing is not too…

Helps with compliance and improves operational flexibility
We have had both on-premises and SaaS models. The on-premise setup was a little difficult, but now that it has been moved to the SaaS model, everything is controlled by CyberArk. We just go and do our work. The initial on-premises setup took two weeks because it was an integrated effort. I had to spin up the servers and bring in the CyberArk Secrets Management resource to deploy the scripts. I then had to open networks and firewalls between CyberArk Secrets Management's on-premise servers and the application server. In the initial phase, it took two to three weeks, but it became easier when moving to the SaaS model. In terms of maintenance, it requires patching or upgrades, which happens one day in a month. If there is a failure, we have to roll back and try once again, which takes more time, but if everything goes smoothly, there is three to five hours of downtime.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of 1Password is the one that automatically generates a password and MFA for me when I try to enter them, instead of going and hardcoding it."

"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."

"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."

Cons

"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"I would improve the search engine of 1Password to make it clearer or less confusing."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."

"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
