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.

Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Cross-platform capability enhances security integration
The single agent, combined with the EDR system, delivers additional information and data for the EDR. Regarding the use cases, or maybe it fits better into another question about the motivation of the customers, I can see two approaches. The first approach is where the customer has an existing EDR system running, and their contract comes to an end. They are looking to either prolong it, renew it, continue with the current system, or look for something cheaper or better. When they reevaluate the contract, it's a sales approach to suggest that for a similar amount of money, not very much more, they can get something much better. It's not only a plain EDR or plain antivirus system - it's antivirus plus EDR. The difference in price is not much. Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers. Having one system for all platforms is essential. This has helped in two ways. The majority of customers want one thing for all, however, some customers definitely want two systems, servers separated from workstations. I have a big data center for banks, and they separate Windows Servers from Linux Servers. It is important for them to have two different systems. By providing this multi-operating system capability, I have engaged with customers via the Linux servers because the Windows servers are handled differently, so they were looking for a second different system, which opened the door for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."
"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."
"The solution allows me to give access and privileges to each user individually"
"In terms of ROI, deploying CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has secured the infrastructure, which saves money, time, and resources."
"Our setup process is moving to the cloud, which is very good. It reduces complexity."
"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
"Their customer support was excellent."
"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."
More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros
"The solution's most valuable feature is its AI detection algorithm part, which helps and is Cybereason's way of detecting the unknown, not just the signature-based threats."
"I would rate the overall product as an eight out of ten."
"Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers."
"The tool's detection range works fine. Its most valuable features are its ease of employment and lightweightness. It's not heavy on resources. We focus on malware and ransomware detection."
 

Cons

"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
"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."
"My recommendation for improvement is to add functionality for when users request access to an application. There's a pop-up UI, but it's not very customizable. I suggest creating a UI where we can write scripts or use SDKs to enhance it. This could automatically create tickets in a system like ServiceNow when users request an application. If a manager approves, we could automatically push policies to those users."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."
More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons
"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
"Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus is not available in the local language, which can be inconvenient."

"I have been told several times that the stability of the sensor, not the back end, is an issue."

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."

CyberArk

Next-generation antivirus (NGAV) is a new breed of software that was created to bridge the gap left by traditional antivirus.

What exactly constitutes NGAV in the cybersecurity industry is still unclear since there’s not a widely-accepted definition for the term. At a minimum, next-generation antivirus products need to go beyond performing signature-based detection while also incorporating some type of advanced technology.

Most NGAVs go beyond the use of indicators of compromise (IOCs) and metadata such as virus signatures, IP addresses, file hashes, and URLs. Using technologies like advanced data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analytics, next-generation antivirus solutions look for patterns of behavior used by attackers to discover tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
