Featured Reviews

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.

Offers strong incident response features but requires more asset visibility and flexibility
Dragos' best features are that they are more focused towards Incident Response, so they have a dedicated playbook in their platform, making it easier for anyone investigating any incidents to investigate the alerts. One of the main features of Dragos is that they have a dedicated Incident Response team, so if clients need any help, they are there to help. Dragos does real-time monitoring as well, collecting mirror traffic from the span port of the switch, and as soon as it gets the traffic, it analyzes it in real time and shows what's going on in the networks, which relates to the real-time visibility feature for ICS networks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AIM has been a great help in automating password retrieval which removes the need for hard-coded credentials."
"Creating policies and the password rotation feature have been valuable. We don't have to memorize our password for the ADM account."
"It helps our customers in their software requirement imports."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager are its robust functionality and reliability."
"We know when passwords will be expiring so we can force users to change their passwords, as well as requiring specific password requirements for length, complexity, etc."
"Its' quite stable."
"The logs and reporting features are impressive."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Management's most valuable features are primarily its password vault functionality, specifically CyberArk's Core Privileged Manager and Privileged Session Manager."
"Dragos' best features are that they are more focused towards Incident Response, so they have a dedicated playbook in their platform, making it easier for anyone investigating any incidents to investigate the alerts."
"Dragos is more expensive than other vendors, probably about fifteen to twenty percent more, but it is generally worth the investment."
 

Cons

"CyberArk reporting is notoriously poor, offering about 5 reports out of the box. I am certified in Delinea, which includes 60 reports plus a custom report generator out of the box. Improved reporting would be beneficial."
"More than the product itself, there is room for improvement in the documentation. The documentation should be very detailed and very structured. It has a lot of good information, on one level, but I feel that it could be more elaborate and more structured."
"The price is high compared to Azure Key Vault. It's the most expensive solution."
"We don't often contact technical support, but when we do it, the response could be faster and better."
"I would like to see better automation in granting access, better tools, more efficient tools, to be able to customize the solution that CyberArk provides."
"There is room for improvement in the availability of custom connectors on the marketplace for this solution. Additionally, their services for the CICD pipeline and ease of integration could be improved."
"Having a cloud version would be very helpful. You have to invest a lot of money for the infrastructure hardware so the cloud version would help."
"There is room for improvement, particularly with Vendor PAM."
"I think Dragos can offer more flexibility similar to Nozomi and more visibility into the assets, nodes, and links, which would make it more competitive in the future."
"Dragos could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive."
"I believe that this solution is priced well. It's the market leader and I think that it's the best solution."
"My company always complains about the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager because it's too high."
"I hope to learn how the pricing works so that I can understand it better, but I am certain it is not inexpensive."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"Although CyberArk Privileged Access Management is expensive, its protection capabilities outweigh the cost."
"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
