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.

A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training."
"It has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege. We've removed, at this point, close to 98 percent of the local administrative accounts on workstations. If there were an incident, it would stop at that point and we'd be able to know."
"It doesn't affect operational efficiency. If you set everything correctly, the user doesn't notice that it is in the background."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."
"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."
"We can do both server and endpoint protection."
"This is the number one product for privilege account security."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."
"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
 

Cons

"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."
"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 product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."
"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's pricing could be better."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."
"We have had some major issues with the tool, but we have worked with the R&D teams and we have worked with support. There is room for improvement, especially on response times. But they're working on it and they're doing the best they can."
"Can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."
"Product management should be improved."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
 

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."
"We pay about $17 per user."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
