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.

Effective risk management, feature of recording all privileged user activities in a compressed format but limited SaaS capability

There are some areas where the GUI could be improved to make it easier to find and update privileged settings and policies. For example, when creating a PAM policy for Privileged, some of the scroll boxes are difficult to navigate. It would be easier if there were one-click options for checking and unchecking boxes rather than having to scroll down and select individual items. This would make the GUI more user-friendly for administrators and SOC teams. So, I would like to see the GUI made more user-friendly, especially for administrators and SOC teams. In future releases, I would like to be able to manage Sectona PAM by location. For example, I'm the global headquarters lead in India, and we have 200 locations around the world. I would like to be able to create sub-locations, so that when I click on support for a location, the configuration is separate. However, the monitoring should still be at the parent level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Users can scale the solution."

"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."

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

"The solution allows me to give access and privileges to each user individually"

"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."

"Regarding the granularity of the managed controls in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, we have different levels of features to define compensations and capabilities, which help us verify configurations and access, ultimately keeping the safety of rights intact."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to control users with admin rights. Even if developers and senior folks maintain their admin rights, we can still manage their activities."

"The product is stable."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"The most valuable features of Sectona Privileged Access Management include robust session monitoring for privileged users."

"The most valuable feature is the risk management. When a Privileged user performs a certain command, such as running a script, the system highlights it in the risk management section as high, critical, or medium risk."

"The most valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management for protecting Privileged accounts is its built-in launcher. Additionally, the single sign-on capability is good. Sectona's session recording feature is particularly noteworthy because it utilizes minimal storage. Instead of recording entire sessions, it captures activity only when necessary, optimizing storage space."

"A key factor for my company is support, and Sectona Privileged Access Management has good support. Another valuable feature of Sectona Privileged Access Management is that it's easy to onboard."

Cons

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

"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."

"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."

"The solution's pricing could be better."

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

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

"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."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"Sectona needs to think about SaaS solutions and cloud use cases. For example, we need to be able to integrate Sectona PAM with next-generation applications such as Docker and Lambda, as well as ITD pipelines that use privileged user data."

"I would like to see future updates include robust support for cloud environments as organizations increasingly move towards cloud-based solutions."

"Sectona Privileged Access Management needs to improve its stability. It needs to enhance the product's stability because of frequent updates. This is crucial for a solution like Privileged Access Management, as organizations rely on stability. When it becomes unstable, it causes panic."

"As I don't have at least one to two years of experience with Sectona Privileged Access Management, I cannot share areas for improvement in the solution. To me, Sectona Privileged Access Management has reasonable pricing, but it could still be improved. I'm also unsure if Sectona Privileged Access Management could cover the requirements of large-sized companies, but for small-sized to medium-sized companies, I'd recommend the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"We pay about $17 per user."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"Sectona Privileged Access Management's pricing is relatively cheaper and aggressive. It is affordable, especially for the Indian market and globally. Compared to competitors, Sectona offers a very good price range."

"The licensing cost for Sectona Privileged Access Management is reasonable, though I cannot share the figure because that's confidential information. I'm not paying for additional costs because the current license covers my requirements. I'd rate the pricing for Sectona Privileged Access Management a three on a scale of one to five."
