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

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

"The product is very flexible"

"There are many valuable aspects of the product, but the most common feature is working with the privileges. The controls of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager influence the visibility into endpoints for my customers. It allows them to granularly manage controls to prevent some malicious activities on the endpoint machine."

"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."

"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."

"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has significantly improved our security posture by preventing virus incidents and restricting users from downloading unwanted applications."

"I have always found that CyberArk is a very tight, foolproof product compared to most other products available."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"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."

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

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

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

Cons

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a perfect solution, but CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux has many issues. Another area for improvement in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, specifically for Windows, is that there's no way for you to check credential theft from a text file, such as a notepad file."

"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."

"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."

"The installation process is pretty difficult."

"Performance could be better. We have a couple of problems with CyberArk right now. One of the problems is performance in our environment. Support also takes a long time to respond. If the user already has local admin rights, then I can't collect any events in the console from this device. There are also some options in CyberArk that are not working properly, and are not helpful in this case. I can't collect any information to create a proper policy for the device. I have to investigate everything manually, or even disable the local admin from the device. I can collect the events only after this, and it's very time consuming. In my case, it's a waste of resources."

"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can be better by making its UI more consistent."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."

"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."

"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."

"We pay about $17 per user."

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

"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."

"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 tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."

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."
