Data from Amplitude has good properties for segmentation. allows real-time tracking, segmentation, and have a complex architecture
A few things could be improved. The part that we used didn't need much improvement, but for end-users, the real-time analytics based on Amplitude's data could be improved. * The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced. * Currently, real-time analytics still has some delays. Amplitude could reduce latency to provide faster insights. For visualization, they could have more charts and graphs to give users a better picture of their data. * The query builder could be improved. Simplifying the query builder with a better interface would make it easier for regular users. It might be easier for developers right now, but going forward, Amplitude could make it more UI-based.
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.

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."
"The main feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the ability to manage who has access to what and when, especially with shared accounts."
"We know when passwords will be expiring so we can force users to change their passwords, as well as requiring specific password requirements for length, complexity, etc."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager's abilities to safeguard the infrastructure are important, as protecting credentials provides us with security and visibility."
"Every aspect of the solution is very well integrated, and even that gives comfort. It is a fail-safe kind of environment."
"This solution is quite stable."
"We could see the benefits of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager immediately after we deployed it and started using it."
"The flexibility of integrating with other technologies is important because of a lot of applications - a lot of COTS products - are not supported when we are bringing the application IDs. The CyberArk platform provides a lot of opportunities to do customization."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."
"The product is very vaulting-focused. I'd love to see it expanding its capabilities a bit further into areas like just-in-time elevation, and access with non-vaulted credentials."
"The solution that they proposed was not straightforward because of the backend processes of CyberArk."
"There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a pretty complex solution."
"As of now, it does not manage all of the IDM practices. It is only good as a PAM solution."
"Their support can be better. Their SLA timings are higher than others."
"The interface on version 9 looks old."
"Pricing is a concern for me because it is not very user-friendly for startups, new users, or very small organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
"CyberArk is good at what they do, and the price reflects that. You have to pay the price for the same."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
"With the current model of licensing, for my use cases, sometimes it's hard to convince the management and get budget approvals for it. It's expensive and you're not getting anything new. It's just a control, but in terms of risk, you are covering a big impact on the company. Improvement in the licensing prices is something I would want to have."
"Its price can be reduced."
"The solution is cost-effective for the features."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
"There are additional features added to our CyberArk Privileged Access Manager license. For example, features that allow us to integrate into various kinds of platforms."
