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.

Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.

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."
"Users can scale the solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance."
"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager enhances computer security by providing minimal access, effectively preventing ransomware attacks."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is entirely cloud-based, so no further upkeep is required."
"We were able to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which helped to simplify our privileged access management environment."
"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The solution is flexible."
"The reporting is excellent."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
 

Cons

"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."
"CyberArk has some performance issues. For example, servers could not handle the solution when we first took CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager."
"It is hard to deal with technical support if you are not certified."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM."
"There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."
"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."
"Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
