Suraj Chandak - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Lasantha Wijesinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
We have visibility and control through real-time user behavior analytics
It took us some time to realize its benefits because there was a learning curve for us. It took us about a year to get our heads around this product and start effectively using it. It is a journey. It takes at least five years for any company to make this product very useful and reach maturity. It is not only the product's fault. The company needs to have a vision, and the company culture needs to go with it. Senior leadership needs to support the vision. You need to have lots of ingredients for success. If everything is in place, you will see success after one year. In the first year, it is a struggle for everybody. My company was bought by a bigger company, and they were very new to privileged access management. Everybody was struggling. The advice I would give is to have a good vision for privileged access management. You need dedicated teams, senior management support, and proper company policies and standards before implementing the solution. Start building knowledge slowly and avoid jumping into the deep end without preparation. I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"All of the features of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager are valuable."
"It enables companies to automate password management on target systems gaining a more secure access management approach."
"Rather than multiple tools for maintaining regulatory compliance around passwords and privileged accounts, we have centralized as much as possible with CyberArk. This is now a one stop shop for end users to access their elevated credentials."
"This is a complete solution that can detect cyber attacks well."
"CyberArk has helped us to identify, store, protect, and monitor the usage of privileged accounts."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager include its search capabilities."
"AIM has been a great help in automating password retrieval which removes the need for hard-coded credentials."
"We like it for the ability to automatically change passwords. At least for my group, that's the best thing."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"The interface on version 9 looks old."
"I'm not a fan of technical support with CyberArk. It's like jumping through red tape and hoops. Quite frankly, it's almost like when you call CyberArk you get the Help Desk or the level-one. I'm a level-one. I got the CCD, I know how to do the initial troubleshooting. When I call CyberArk it's because I can't figure the problem out. So I need a level-two, three, four. I don't need you to tell me, "Hey, open a ticket and then give me logs.""
"PAM could be more user-friendly and CyberArk could update the documentation to include more real-world examples. You have to learn it yourself through trial and error. In particular, the online documentation should have more information about troubleshooting."
"The current interface doesn't scale that well, and has some screens still in the old layout."
"They need to provide better training for the System Integrator."
"I sometimes require learning resources when there is a new solution for CyberArk."
"It could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I encounter issues, and I do not know what the issue is. It takes a lot of time to find the error and fix it. Sometimes it gives an error, but I do not know what the error is. I have to find the documents, but it does not provide all the details needed to fix the error. This is one of the day-to-day issues with CyberArk."
"I would love them to improve their UI customizing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's pricing is reasonable."
"The product's licensing is yearly. I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The SaaS version of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is very expensive, but the on-premises version is relative, e.g. depending on the size of the environment, it can be a bit pricey, but it's relatively okay compared to the others."
"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."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is perceived to be somewhat overpriced compared to similar market products. It is a little bit overvalued. It could come down a little bit for my liking. However, the industry-leading reputation and the quality of service justify the high price point to some extent."
"It is in line with its competitors, but all such solutions cost too much money."
"If you want a Ferrari, it will cost you. The solution is really nice, so it costs the client, but in the long run, it is very good. If you buy a solution that costs a lot to maintain because it is not stable, and you are frequently asking for consultant support, it costs more."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
