"Ensures accounts are managed according to corporate policies."
"CyberArk has the ability to change the credentials on every platform."
"The solution helps our developers access internal systems. It also helps us in Privilege Access Management."
"The most valuable feature is that it always provides flexibility, password quality and one-time user check-in and check-out."
"The biggest feature is the security of the overall solution. It's very secure. The vaulting technology and the number of security layers involved in the vault, where privileged accounts are actually stored, is the heart of the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"For users to access a system via CyberArk Privileged Session Manager, a universal connector needs to be coded in a language called AutoIT and its support for web browsers is so-so. Other products like Centrify have browser plugins that can help automate the process when using their products."
"The product documentation has to be more precise in certain aspects with explanations for functionality limitations along with reference material or screenshots."
"I would like to see improvement in the custom connector for integration with different devices."
"The admin interface of the Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) is moving from an old style (the classic interface) to a new style (the v10 interface) and unfortunately, this process is quite slow."
"The initial setup of CyberArk is a challenge if you do not have prior experience with it."
"CyberArk has to continue to evolve with that threat landscape to make sure that they're still protecting those credentials that are owned by those that have privileged accounts in the firms."
"Areas the product could be improved are in some of the reporting capabilities and how the reports are configured."
"It's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"Security needs improvement."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
