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.

Enhancing administration security with critical feature improvements needed

My primary use case is to make a training about Active Directory security. In my experience, I work with Bastion. I emphasize the importance of having a good knowledge of Bastion to avoid vulnerabilities It helps by providing some security features for administration, although it's crucial to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

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

"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."

"We can do both server and endpoint protection."

"The most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."

"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."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

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

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

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

"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 most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

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

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

Cons

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

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

"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"My recommendation for improvement is to add functionality for when users request access to an application. There's a pop-up UI, but it's not very customizable. I suggest creating a UI where we can write scripts or use SDKs to enhance it. This could automatically create tickets in a system like ServiceNow when users request an application. If a manager approves, we could automatically push policies to those users."

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

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."

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

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

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

"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."

"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."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

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

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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 professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."

"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."

"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."

"We pay about $17 per user."

"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."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
