CyberArk manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Secures critical infrastructures with essential user session audit records
A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

Centralized password vault has transformed access control and dramatically improved security
LastPass Business is a seamless password management tool. Now we use it across the company and it helps streamline the storage and retrieval of the myriad of passwords that we all encounter on the web these days, making it easy to share across accounts and help individuals get access to the passwords they need to do their jobs quickly and easily. It is a better alternative than having to remember passwords or write them down on Post-it notes, especially as most of our staff has transitioned to remote work. It solves most of our information technology and cybersecurity issues. LastPass Business does a good job of organizing passwords and making it easy to share some and not others. I have a personal and a company LastPass Business account, and it is seamless to shift between them. The website autofill integration is great and makes logging into sites a breeze. Autofill helps us log in seamlessly to various apps where we do not have to remember the password; it automatically autofills the password and we are able to log in, saving a lot of time. LastPass Business has a good structure to manage different departments' passwords and suggests strong passwords when setting up new accounts. It allows users to not have to remember the password since it is saved securely. It has a Vault that saves and stores organization-wide credentials. I love that because it is very secure and saves time from having to ask a coworker for their logging information. We are able to share that information and remotely collaborate easily. It has increased our security by 40 to 55 percent because LastPass Business has a Vault that saves and stores organization-wide credentials where it is very secure and easy to access. It saves time from having to ask a coworker for their logging information, takes the stress out of worrying about internet security and related threats, and helps make the onboarding and offboarding process easier for the HR and OPS teams with little concern for employees changing logins and little to no worry about data breaches and other security issues. Since we deployed it, we do not have to waste time logging into multiple apps in my organization. It makes it very easy for new hires to be able to log in to multiple apps within LastPass Business, saving a lot of time. LastPass Business is deployed in my organization as a Hybrid Cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk PAS helps ensure accounts are managed according to corporate policies."
"This is a complete solution that can detect cyber attacks well."
"It has improved the way our company functions on the basis that they're expanding, and the SDDC management solution and the decision to bring on security licenses under the system umbrella, then has passwords and the system management be a requirement in the coming quarters."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has positively impacted my organization, showing significant improvement since all sessions are monitored and isolated using isolated RDP sessions, which are created temporarily and expire if not used."
"The PSM is excellent and the ability to write your own connectors and plugins is invaluable as far as flexibility goes."
"I love how easily we could operate within Password Vault and get things done."
"With this product and the protection it offers, you can witness ROI immediately."
"It is an extremely scalable solution."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature; it works really well, and the ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members, and the auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"The solution is easy to use, the performance has been good, the integration capabilities have been good, and it is very stable and quite secure."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"The most significant impact is that LastPass Business has positively impacted my organization by dramatically increasing our security from 40% to 60% since we now have fewer data breaches and less concern about security."
"LastPass Business is a great tool that is easy to use and has really helped to increase security, especially for remote workers."
"The fact that LastPass stores our passwords in an encrypted format, rather than being stored in somebody's email or text documents, is incredibly important to us."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"LastPass Business has positively impacted my company not only by saving my technical time and allowing my team members to service more customers, but because of this, my company is able to save on the number of techs we need to employ, hence fewer employees are needed."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"The LastPass solution is the best one that I have tried."
 

Cons

"Response time is not ideal, and reaching someone knowledgeable can take time."
"We have had some performance and stability issues. We have had instances where things weren't as they should be, however, we worked closely with the development support teams once the issues were escalated and managed to find either a resolution or a workaround to stabilize the solution."
"What needs to be improved in CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is their customer support, particularly in terms of responsiveness, willingness to help, and being more understanding. The initial setup and upgrade process for the solution is complex and can only be done by CyberArk, so this is another area for improvement."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"If you don't know the product well, it might not be easy to set up, because CyberArk has several modules."
"More than the product itself, there is room for improvement in the documentation."
"New functionalities or discovered bugs take a little longer to patch."
"Over the past seven years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs with the product, but now I am happy with the version that we are using now."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company. It could be a little bit cheaper."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"Improvements are needed to the vault access via desktop in LastPass Business. It always seems to take time, leading me through the score center, and then the frustration begins when you cannot get out of the screen."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"When a user loses their phone and forgets the password, they cannot be reset by an administrator. That is frustrating, and I would like the ability to silently pre-install."
"I believe some of the integration of the product is less than fully successful; it is less an issue with the software and more of an operating system issue."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"The two main reasons my company cannot move to LastPass are because of the synchronization issue and the poor communication."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for CyberArk is on the higher side compared to other Privileged Access Management products. Something should be done regarding enterprise licensing for long-standing customers."
"Overall, its pricing is really good. The main difference from all the other vendors is that they have one package that covers all the functionality and modules of the basic PAM, except the add-on modules like adware and server protection. It also doesn't include the licenses for domain controller protection or maybe an API call-related feature. For the basic privileged access management, the bundle pricing is really good, but when it comes to an agent-based solution for advanced cyber protection or application identity managers, it is expensive. Services are also very expensive if you hire the services team from CyberArk, but these guys are really good. For a couple of large banking projects, we had an experience with them. The banks wanted to have things quickly and efficiently, so we had to hire them. If we take four weeks, these guys can do everything on a weekend. They charge quite a big sum of money, but they know the system well."
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"The pricing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is quite expensive, and the pricing varies from region to region. In APAC, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be obtained for less than in North America, according to my understanding."
"This solution is considered to be more expensive than others out there on the market today."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's pricing is reasonable."
"Network and security licenses are currently being managed by other outsource vendors, so they are facing some type of problems in the digital aspect."
"It is in line with its competitors, but all such solutions cost too much money."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
"LastPass was cheap as chips. It was very cheap, hence one of the reasons we went with it. If you're a small organization and you're after something that'll do 90% of your requirements, it's very good. Licensing and all that was really cheap and simple to understand."
"You do not have to purchase licenses for your entire organization. You can scale as adoption grows."
"I have been involved with many password managers. Passportal, Secret Server, CyberArk, and BeyondTrust. I chose LastPass for our organization because of the pricing. The organization didn't want to implement something really expensive. LastPass, for what it's offering, for the price that it's offering the service, is unbeatable."
"The subscription model is rated at a fair price."
"If you import from sources like XML, keepass, CSV files be sure to clean the import files, this reduces the adjustments in the slow tool itself."
"The previous pricing was of good value. I don't really know, as of now, whether the new pricing is. The Enterprise license is $48 per license per year now. That is a steep increase of $24, which is what it was when we first signed up."
"In terms of pricing, my feeling is that they are all roughly the same. LastPass is in line with its competitors, plus or minute a dollar or two per month."
"The pricing and licensing are okay. Basically, at the last contract negotiation, they attempted to jack the rate up and we just said, "No." We still did negotiations with them, but they bumped everything up quite a bit."
