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 most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."

"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."

"This is the number one product for privilege account security."

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."

"It allows whitelisting."

"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."

"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."

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

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."

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

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

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

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

Cons

"Can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."

"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."

"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."

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

"While CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a great tool, I believe the functionality could be wider. If it could work not only with permissions but also involve pure EDR tasks or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, it would be great."

"The product is expensive."

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

"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."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

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

"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."

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

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."
