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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."

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

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its high performance, it's the best identity security platform. The security is good. It's easy to showcase the feature and capabilities and compare it with other competitors. It competes well with other solutions. Additionally, it is a complete solution."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has had a positive impact on my customers' security posture."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very easy to manage, which I like. The solution also has a dashboard where you can see which software is suspicious, which I find valuable."

"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is entirely cloud-based, so no further upkeep is required."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."

"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

More Tanium pros

Cons

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

"The solution's pricing could be better."

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

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

"The solution is very expensive."

"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."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"The reporting could be improved."

"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."

More Tanium cons

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."

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

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."

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

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

"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."

"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."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."

"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."

"The solution offers value for money."
