Security monitoring has uncovered unauthorized devices and now protects client networks
I think the best feature of Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security is that it ensures only the authorized devices and users are authorized to prevent any potential breaches. I think that clear definition is very essential for a lot of networks because it helps us understand who should be there and who shouldn't be. For our clientele, we were able to discover a lot of unauthorized devices that were on their network. This first of all helped them remove a lot of potential security breaches and cleared the bandwidth of the network as well. I think this has been one of the biggest cases that we have found. For most of the clients where we have deployed it, this has always been a common occurrence because a lot of people enter the network and then you don't know who is there, who has the access, and so on. I think this is the very reason I said what I said earlier.

CyberArk manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Secures critical infrastructures with essential user session audit records
A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

Pros

"I think the best feature of Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security is that it ensures only the authorized devices and users are authorized to prevent any potential breaches."
"With CyberArk, we can meet our compliance requirements reducing security risks without introducing additional operational complexity."
"CyberArk is on top of its game."
"The DNA scan is very helpful and provides a security baseline for your environment."
"CyberArk makes our environment more secure and prevents possible attacks by compromised accounts."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"It provides a one-stop shop for the majority of our administrators to get the privileged access they need."
"Technical support is very well aware of this."
"One of the benefits of using CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is we have an audit trail that fits the requirements of our organization and we are more secure using the features of the solution, such as investigating and tracking."
 

Cons

"I'm not exactly sure how scalable it is if you're managing multiple locations, but I think it still has some potential for improvement for multiple locations."
"Our DevOps team is looking in the direction of cloud, because we are not in it today. We are hoping to build it with Conjur from the ground up."
"More than the product itself, there is room for improvement in the documentation. The documentation should be very detailed and very structured. It has a lot of good information, on one level, but I feel that it could be more elaborate and more structured."
"We would, of course, always prefer it if the pricing was cheaper."
"Better search functionality in the EPM console. It becomes difficult to search lengthy policies for specific items."
"I'd like to see a more expansive SSH tunneling situation through PSMP. Right now you have an account that exists in the vault and you say, "I want to create a tunnel using this account." I'd like to see something that is not account-based where I could say, "I want to create a tunnel to this machine over here," and then authenticate through the PSMP and then your tunnel is set up. You wouldn't need to then authenticate to a machine."
"The pricing is too expensive and should be reduced."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"They need to provide better training for the System Integrator."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our risk is definitely significantly lower. Also, our resources are low."
"There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"Generally, I don't get involved in the licensing or the purchasing side of it, but I do know that the licenses are expensive."
"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."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"I focus more on the technical side, but I hear customers say that if CyberArk was more affordable, they might have acquired more licenses. Some clients consider alternative solutions due to pricing concerns."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
