We have visibility and control through real-time user behavior analytics
It took us some time to realize its benefits because there was a learning curve for us. It took us about a year to get our heads around this product and start effectively using it. It is a journey. It takes at least five years for any company to make this product very useful and reach maturity. It is not only the product's fault. The company needs to have a vision, and the company culture needs to go with it. Senior leadership needs to support the vision. You need to have lots of ingredients for success. If everything is in place, you will see success after one year. In the first year, it is a struggle for everybody. My company was bought by a bigger company, and they were very new to privileged access management. Everybody was struggling. The advice I would give is to have a good vision for privileged access management. You need dedicated teams, senior management support, and proper company policies and standards before implementing the solution. Start building knowledge slowly and avoid jumping into the deep end without preparation. I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager a nine out of ten.

Provides cost saving and offers device visibility
I think it's a stable solution and don't foresee any problems in the future. It's a leading security platform and is widely used in Italy. This gives them full visibility of all devices, which is often difficult to achieve. IT managers usually lack visibility into all products and security solutions. However, this platform lets customers gain visibility of their entire device environment. I rate its stability an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool has safe vaults. We keep our passwords in the Vault. The tool’s recording feature is also valuable for us."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager provides granularity. You can break things down into individual safes. You have specific access to safes by individual or group. The interface is with AD, with LDAP, or with local CyberArk passwords. You also have the ability to establish policies for your individual credentials."
"The most valuable features of the solution are control and analytics."
"The AI capabilities, including advanced threat detection features, are very helpful for us. They reduce human effort and errors, allowing us to quickly identify and respond to threats."
"Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the vault. I am satisfied with the interface and the documentation."
"I really like the PTA (Privileged Threat Analytics). I find this the best feature."
"Technical support is very helpful whenever we have any questions."
"Provides security for our operational technology environment for OT and IoT."
"The most valuable features of Nozomi Networks are the visibility of OT protocols and the versatility in finding the details of the assets feeding the tool."
"Nozomi Networks is an easy-to-use and powerful tool."
"The network visualization feature of Nozomi impacts security operations positively."
"The feature I like best is its stability."
"The most valuable feature of Nozomi Networks is its security features."
"It has impacted security operations in a better way."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
 

Cons

"There is a lot of room for improvement in the report section. I also work on other tools, such as Thycotic, which allows you to create customized reports for your organization's needs. In CyberArk, there are limited reports, whereas in Thycotic or some of the other PAM tools, because the database is different, you can customize the report based on your needs through SQL queries."
"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 solution is too big and complex for any businesses that are small or medium-sized. They should offer a more compact version or make a solution better suited to smaller businesses."
"The turnaround time for technical support is lengthy."
"CyberArk could enhance its usability by simplifying its architecture and design."
"The product documentation has to be more precise in certain aspects with explanations for functionality limitations along with reference material or screenshots."
"I'm not a fan of technical support with CyberArk. It's like jumping through red tape and hoops. Quite frankly, it's almost like when you call CyberArk you get the Help Desk or the level-one. I'm a level-one. I got the CCD, I know how to do the initial troubleshooting. When I call CyberArk it's because I can't figure the problem out. So I need a level-two, three, four. I don't need you to tell me, "Hey, open a ticket and then give me logs.""
"CyberArk PAM could greatly benefit from an under-the-hood update; integrating machine learning algorithms could provide predictive insights."
"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"Nozomi Networks currently offers add-ons, such as ARP agents, that can be installed on machines to expand the information we receive from sensors. However, these are part of a licensing structure, which can be costly."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"The solution should include an integration library."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"Proof of concept could be improved. It could be more tangible to the customer and the end users to have a video presentation or something like that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost efficiency is the number one thing that can be improved in my mind. This would change lots of companies minds on purchasing the product."

"The solution is cost-effective for the features."
"Pricing is quite high and it could be improved."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"It's an affordable platform."

"The solution's pricing is good and cheaper than that of Claroty."
"I have not seen any competition in terms of pricing, and it is quite reasonable."
