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

"It doesn't affect operational efficiency. If you set everything correctly, the user doesn't notice that it is in the background."

"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."

"It offers great performance."

"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."

"We can do both server and endpoint protection."

"It allows whitelisting."

"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 solution is scalable."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."

"The most valuable features are session and password management."

Cons

"There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies."

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

"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."

"The price of the solution should improve."

"It is hard to deal with technical support if you are not certified."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."

"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."

"The product is expensive."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"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

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

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

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."

"The product's license is easy to procure."

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."

"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."

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