PH
Manager at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
MFA boosts protection and has blocking capabilities but dependency on other solutions complicates deployment
The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks. The agent may have problems syncing, which complicates deployment, especially when users leave the organization, however, agents remain licensed since the server still maintains licenses. Additionally, compared to other endpoint managers like Thycotic, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks recording capabilities, which limits its functionality for critical applications. A feature that records activity, even when bypassing CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, would be beneficial.

Ease of application management and feature richness impress
With Sophos Home, it's easy to implement; you just log in and manage the various computers as to what you want to detect. You can set up the type of security you want and reject things such as firearms, drugs, and porn, so I find it's very easy to use, very reasonably priced, and they give you Sophos Home for free when we use some of the other products that they recently changed over on the commercial side. I really don't have much comment on the banking protection or keylogger security feature, but I do realize that Sophos Home is good protection for us, and I'm just about to install a Sophos hardware firewall in our company as well.

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 their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) 's most valuable feature is its ability to manage user application privileges and protect against ransomware attacks by controlling access to specific files and applications."
"All of the features are valuable."
"The product is very flexible"
"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."
"I like that we have the power to blacklist, whitelist, and greylist applications."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment."
"The product is stable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ransomware protection. Its integration with other Sophos security products is good, and the AI features have made it an efficient product."
"With Sophos Home, it's easy to implement; you just log in and manage the various computers as to what you want to detect."
 

Cons

"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."
"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."
"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"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."
"If you do not have certification, you cannot send a ticket; this makes dealing with technical support difficult."
"I expect an improvement with mobile integration. I want mobile devices to have better security, like Sophos Home's total security. Users often need to connect to a cloud platform to manage or change settings, which can be difficult. To improve this, providing minimal local settings could help users."
"For homeowners, determining ROI is challenging. With personal emails or maybe a few business emails, if you don't get hacked, then you're good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."
