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.

Effective asset management improves OT security by quantifying risks and identifying unauthorized communications
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 would be very helpful if these agents were available free of charge. The solution itself has no major problems, but this is a feature request I would make for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk's support is excellent, providing personalized assistance through a dedicated local account manager and sales engineer."
"The product is for hardening access and making the organization more secure, therefore reducing chances of a breach."
"I appreciate the ease of use for support analysts."
"We are able to centrally manage credentials, touch applications, and rotate passwords."
"CyberArk is not just an IT security or cybersecurity tool. It's also an administrator tool. I had a fair number of systems where the passwords were not fully managed by CyberArk yet, and they were expiring every 30 or 45 days. I was able to get management turned on for those accounts. From an administrator perspective, I didn't have to go back into those systems and manually change those passwords anymore. CyberArk... lightened the load on our administrative work."
"The credentials management capability is key to ensuring that the credentials are kept secure and that access to them is done on a temporary and event-driven basis."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has been helpful in managing over 125,000 privileged accounts in a single environment for our client, and we have multiple CyberArk environments for different clients with different numbers of accounts."
"The solution is scalable."
"The tool's visibility is good. We can see the traffic flow."
"The network visualization feature of Nozomi impacts security operations positively."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Nozomi Networks is its security features."
"Provides security for our operational technology environment for OT and IoT."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"Nozomi Networks is an easy-to-use and powerful tool."
"It has impacted security operations in a better way."
 

Cons

"It needs better documentation with more examples for the configuration files and API/REST integration"
"Their post-sale support area requires a big improvement. Customers cannot automate tickets directly with CyberArk. They have to come through the distributor or bring in partners who have access to the support portal. Basically, the support for post-sales implementation is there, but the role of CyberArk is very minimal. Customers have to rely on partners, which sometimes creates issues. Some of the vendors help you during the implementation process, but the CyberArk support team does not do that. They have 24/7 support for our region, but they help only if there is an emergency or there is a problem with their system. If the password vault is down or the system is down, they provide immediate attention. For almost everything else, they take more time to respond. They give low priority to service-related or migration-related questions."
"The installation process should be easier and more user-friendly so that you don't need to hire a third party to deploy it."
"My company always complains about the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager because it's too high."
"The support services could act faster when people reach out to resolve issues."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"The graphical user interface could be simplified and harmonized for better usability. It should be consistent. Its GUI is very confusing."
"Many of the infrastructure folks who use the product dislike it because it complicates their workflow. They get a little less control, and they have to go through a specific solution. It proactively logs in for them, which obfuscates some of the issues that they may be troubleshooting."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"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."
"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."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"The solution should include an integration library."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you want a Ferrari, it will cost you. The solution is really nice, so it costs the client, but in the long run, it is very good. If you buy a solution that costs a lot to maintain because it is not stable, and you are frequently asking for consultant support, it costs more."
"The pricing is slightly higher compared to other solutions, but it is reasonable because there are better security features."
"I would rate CyberArk's pricing a nine out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the market, but it's worth it."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is expensive. There are no other fees other than the standard licensing fees."
"CyberArk provides all the features bundled. This is compared to other vendors who provide them as a different license for each functionality."
"CyberArk has been Gartner's number-one pick for the past ten years, so you can infer that their pricing is higher than everyone else. When you are the best, you will charge appropriately for it."
"The solution is costly but we get what we pay for."
"Its price can be reduced."
"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."
