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.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their customer support was excellent."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its scalability."
"We were able to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which helped to simplify our privileged access management environment."
"The most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has significantly improved our security posture by preventing virus incidents and restricting users from downloading unwanted applications."
"In terms of ROI, deploying CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has secured the infrastructure, which saves money, time, and resources."
"This is the number one product for privilege account security."
"It identifies the original source, and all instances of malicious applications in the environment."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"Technical support is very good; they have their own ticket system that is available for all customers and their system is already in different languages, for example, English, French, and, for us, Russian."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
 

Cons

"The solution can be complex to use at times."
"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."
"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."
"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 can improve its Identity Governance, which is already working effectively yet could continue to enhance its capabilities."
"CyberArk meets clients' need very spot-on. It covers everything customers ask for. As for improvements, honestly, the feedback's been really positive. I haven't heard any specific areas that need work."
"One area that has room for improvement is in managing the credentials for network devices."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"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 think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"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."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
