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.

Remote session recording enhances server access tracking while dashboard needs improvement

PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes. The automation system is very smart, although its interface is not as sophisticated as those of Dynatrace or FortiFEM. A critical advantage is its flexibility and security, providing stability across our client interactions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."

"What sets CyberArk apart is its continuous innovation, staying ahead of the competition."

"Users can scale the solution."

"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."

"The biggest benefit of CyberArk EPM for our customers is control over privileged access for endpoints. Endpoints are often the starting point for attackers to enter and move within a network. CyberArk EPM bridges the gap between security and operations teams. Operations teams are happy because work isn't stopped due to admin rights issues, while security teams are satisfied that full admin rights aren't given to all users."

"Our setup process is moving to the cloud, which is very good. It reduces complexity."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is entirely cloud-based, so no further upkeep is required."

"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

"We can use it remotely as well."

"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."

"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."

Cons

"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."

"The solution is very expensive."

"Despite newer versions and functionalities, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks sufficient knowledgeable support staff, resulting in longer wait times for assistance."

"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."

"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."

"It's an old product and has many areas that can be improved."

"The management of Privilege Access is not satisfactory."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."

"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."

"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."

"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."

"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."

"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."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."

"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."

"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."

"We pay about $17 per user."

"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."

"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
