Featured Reviews

Stephen Hui - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Architect at DataAssure
Has all necessary functionalities, is sophisticated and mature; still contains some bugs
There are still some bugs in the solution but a lot less than there used to be. Unfortunately, CyberArk and BeyondTrust are in fierce competition. Many customers have already adopted CyberArk, but they need a proven remote access solution and are likely to go with BeyondTrust. Both solutions can be used, it's just more work for IT to manage them. CyberArk is still leading the market share globally, and BeyondTrust is always classified second, followed by Delinea or Thycotic.
Sumit Chavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Consultant at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe has made companies a lot safer."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"They've done a great job implementing all possible features; it's the best tool there is and no competitors come close to the level of sophistication and maturity of the product."
"Secrets Safe is highly scalable without interruptions to the current infrastructure."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"The most valuable features of BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe are the ease of use and the API is very nice. Additionally, the interface is very good between AD and Unix."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its scalability."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) 's most valuable feature is its ability to manage user application privileges and protect against ransomware attacks by controlling access to specific files and applications."
"It offers great performance."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has had a positive impact on my customers' security posture."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment. That means you can delete the local admins and grant them proper privileges with the console. So, they will get proper permissions for applications they need, but we don't have to do it. In the domain where we don't have control, the user can only do specified actions, but not all of them."
"We have not had issues with CyberArk. It works very smoothly. We can do many things with CyberArk. It helps us to see exactly what is happening."
"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."
 

Cons

"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"The product contains some bugs."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"The solution is relatively stable, but not all bugs have been fixed."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution. There are a lot of moving components and a lot of things involved."
"CyberArk meets clients' need very spot-on. It covers everything customers ask for. As for improvements, honestly, the feedback's been really positive. I haven't heard any specific areas that need work."
"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."
"The installation process is pretty difficult."
"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."
"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."
"The product is expensive."

"We pay about $17 per user."
"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
"I believe it's quite a reasonably priced solution. It's not very common to use CyberArk because it's a niche solution, but customers who are willing to control administrative accounts are willing to pay this money."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
