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.

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

"We can do both server and endpoint protection."

"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 biggest benefit of CyberArk EPM for our customers is control over privileged access for endpoints. Endpoints are often the starting point for attackers to enter and move within a network. CyberArk EPM bridges the gap between security and operations teams. Operations teams are happy because work isn't stopped due to admin rights issues, while security teams are satisfied that full admin rights aren't given to all users."

"I have always found that CyberArk is a very tight, foolproof product compared to most other products available."

"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its scalability."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"Our setup process is moving to the cloud, which is very good. It reduces complexity."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"With Sophos Home, it's easy to implement; you just log in and manage the various computers as to what you want to detect."

"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."

Cons

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

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

"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."

"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."

"The product is expensive."

"One area that has room for improvement is in managing the credentials for network devices."

"The solution is very expensive."

"The installation process is pretty difficult."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"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

"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."

"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."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."

"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."

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

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

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