Used for reporting and monitoring purposes and to check the business KPIs
We take real-time decisions based on the solution's charts. We get an automated email from the solution in our mailbox so that we can particularly only check those error reports into Amplitude. If an end user gets an error while trying to do a transaction, we get alerts from the solution. I would recommend the solution to other users. Amplitude is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly tool. It allows us to create charts, demonstrate data, and view it effectively. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"It provides an accountability to the individuals who are using it, knowing that it is audited and tracked."
"Super stable and easy to scale"
"Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
"I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is platform management. It is quite easy to manage privileged access for certain target platforms with CyberArk Privileged Access Manager as compared to other products I have worked with."
"It is a scalable product."
"We are able to rotate credentials and have privileged account access."
"The best feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is its core function: automatically managing and securing credentials."
 

Cons

"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"The graphical user interface could be simplified and harmonized for better usability. It should be consistent. Its GUI is very confusing."
"The major pain point that we have is the capacity of CyberArk due to the sheer volume of NPAs that we are managing. We are a large organization and we have hundreds of thousands of non-personal accounts to manage. We have already found out that there are certain capacity limitations within CyberArk that might introduce performance issues. From my perspective, something that would be valuable would be if the vault could hold more passwords and be more scalable."
"It can be integrated with other systems, but it is not easy to integrate. It takes too long to integrate it. Its integration should be easier and simpler."
"The web access piece needs improvement. We have version 9.5 or 9.9.5, and now we have to upgrade to version 10."
"What could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the licensing model. It should be more flexible in terms of the users. Currently, it's based on the number of users, but many users only log in once in four months or once in five months. It would be great if the licensing model could be modified based on user needs. We even have users who have not logged in even once."
"One area for improvement is the plug-in development challenge. Although CyberArk provides a plug-in generator utility, it does not fully meet our needs, particularly for web-based applications. The plug-in generator currently works only for Telnet and SSH connections. We cannot generate a plug-in for web-based applications."
"There is a little bit of confusion in the implementation part, especially when one tries to understand the actual working of the product."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"Generally, I don't get involved in the licensing or the purchasing side of it, but I do know that the licenses are expensive."
"No, I do not have any advice on the price of the product."
"I hope to learn how the pricing works so that I can understand it better, but I am certain it is not inexpensive."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
"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."
"With reducing the privileged account access, there has been a huge improvement. They are now bringing more accounts on a little at a time."
"Network and security licenses are currently being managed by other outsource vendors, so they are facing some type of problems in the digital aspect."
