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

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

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

"It allows whitelisting."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is scalable."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance."

"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"Performance could be better. We have a couple of problems with CyberArk right now. One of the problems is performance in our environment. Support also takes a long time to respond. If the user already has local admin rights, then I can't collect any events in the console from this device. There are also some options in CyberArk that are not working properly, and are not helpful in this case. I can't collect any information to create a proper policy for the device. I have to investigate everything manually, or even disable the local admin from the device. I can collect the events only after this, and it's very time consuming. In my case, it's a waste of resources."

"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."

"It's an old product and has many areas that can be improved."

"The tool should be more user-friendly."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can be better by making its UI more consistent."

"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."

"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 is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."

"There could be more automation features for the solution."

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

More WALLIX Bastion 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."

"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 cost for CyberArk is very high."

"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."

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

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

"We pay about $17 per user."

"It is an expensive solution."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"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."
