Abdul Durrani - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables granular and secure access with just-in-time access and Zero Trust model
CyberArk provides a good amount of control over access types. However, as a future enhancement, having additional features for cross-platform integration would be beneficial. It would be good to have integrations with other tools and firewalls, such as Zscaler and CrowdStrike. Although I am not fully aware of recent updates, more cross-platform integration would be valuable. A SOC analyst would like to have centralized access in terms of information flowing in even for privileged access management. They would like to have control over everything instead of opening four to five tabs for different sorts of information. Cross-platform integration would help with that. Customers also want CyberArk's pricing to be better so that they can implement it further and have more licenses. Implementing a privileged access management solution can be challenging. It would be great if CyberArk could provide recommendations based on the compliance standards of an organization. It would help system admins ensure that all the required ports are closed and the systems are being managed properly. If any system is not being used anymore, any ports opened for that system need to be closed. Having such recommendations would be helpful.

Helps me deal with a litany of access credentials, but the user interface is not well structured
Our primary use for this solution is password management. We have so many websites, passwords, and user IDs that it is impossible to remember them all This solution has helped us deal with the litany of access credentials, whether business or personal. The most valuable feature is that it stores…

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 aspects of the solution include password management and Rest API retrieval of vaulted credentials."
"We are able to rotate privileged user passwords to eliminate fraudulent use."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"I find value in notifications from CyberArk when passwords fail verification and have other issues."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The password management feature is valuable."
"It's user-friendly and very configurable. We can do many things with it, especially with password management."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager's abilities to safeguard the infrastructure are important, as protecting credentials provides us with security and visibility."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"The stability depends on the infrastructure it is installed on, which is important because CyberArk does not have the hardware appliance."
"In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, the UI has room for improvement, as does the dashboard reporting, which could be made better or easier to use."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"The reporting should be improved. There should be more customization. The report should show how we are going to mitigate the risk because we cannot show the system environment to each and every auditor."
"Integration with the ticketing system should allow any number of fields to be used for validation before allowing a user to be evaluated and able to access a server."
"The architecture needs to be improved."
"The current interface is not very intuitive."
"The solution could improve by adding more connectors."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an affordable platform."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could be less expensive."
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"I haven't seen the numbers. I know it is not cheap, but I don't know what it is. I would rate it a six out of ten in terms of pricing. It is definitely more expensive than the other product, but it also provides more functionality, and it is modular too. So, we pay for the functionality we're actually going to use, and that's nice."
"They have two types of licensing: purchase and subscription. You have to pay for each admin user, such as Microsoft admin, mail admin, database admin, etc."
"This solution is expensive."
"Quite expensive"
"Previously, the pricing was very meager. They started publicizing and advertising the solution, growing CyberArk, as an organization. They also changed their pricing with that growth, e.g., the pricier the product, the more people who will purchase it."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
