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.

Stable performance and effective control over user access to specific applications and websites

I'm not sure about its scalability since most of my deployments are for small to medium-sized companies. I haven't faced any scalability issues so far. It runs smoothly. I don't use dedicated appliances; instead, I have it running on existing PCs. And it works fine. I haven't experienced any throughput issues or similar problems. I have around five or six different clients using Untangle Application Control.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"It has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege. We've removed, at this point, close to 98 percent of the local administrative accounts on workstations. If there were an incident, it would stop at that point and we'd be able to know."

"In terms of ROI, deploying CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has secured the infrastructure, which saves money, time, and resources."

"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."

"The product is very flexible"

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

"What sets CyberArk apart is its continuous innovation, staying ahead of the competition."

"Users can scale the solution."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"Content filtering is really easy to use. We have rules for content filtering. One of the rules that we have is that if it is not an SSL site, it should block the site. It scans, and if it finds a bad site, it is not going to allow it. We can also block based on what the company wants us to block. If the company wants us to block porn, we'll block porn. If the company wants to block social media, we're going to block social media."

"Application filter features are the most valuable for us."

"The fact that I can limit access to certain apps is the most valuable feature for me. For example, I can restrict access to specific websites or certain functions within websites."

Cons

"The solution can be complex to use at times."

"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."

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

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

"The solution is very expensive."

"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."

"They need much better integration with Azure AD."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"Reporting functionality could be improved to provide more comprehensive insights."

"There is room for improvement in blocking torrents."

"The only thing that they need to improve is that they drop sessions. Currently, if you see a session come in, such as a DHCP session or a VPN session, you don't have the ability to click on that session, hit drop, and have them re-negotiate. It would be a really nice feature, and they are working on it. This is the only feature that is missing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it's quite a reasonably priced solution. It's not very common to use CyberArk because it's a niche solution, but customers who are willing to control administrative accounts are willing to pay this money."

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

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

"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."

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

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

"I use the free version of Untangle."

"Everything is included on the firewall at one price point, and we sell it for $70 a month, which includes the hardware."
