Enables granular and secure access with just-in-time access and Zero Trust model
CyberArk provides a good amount of control over access types. However, as a future enhancement, having additional features for cross-platform integration would be beneficial. It would be good to have integrations with other tools and firewalls, such as Zscaler and CrowdStrike. Although I am not fully aware of recent updates, more cross-platform integration would be valuable. A SOC analyst would like to have centralized access in terms of information flowing in even for privileged access management. They would like to have control over everything instead of opening four to five tabs for different sorts of information. Cross-platform integration would help with that. Customers also want CyberArk's pricing to be better so that they can implement it further and have more licenses. Implementing a privileged access management solution can be challenging. It would be great if CyberArk could provide recommendations based on the compliance standards of an organization. It would help system admins ensure that all the required ports are closed and the systems are being managed properly. If any system is not being used anymore, any ports opened for that system need to be closed. Having such recommendations would be helpful.
Massimiliano La Camera - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"PSM (Privilege Session Manager."
"It is very simple to use."
"In terms of stability, there are no complaints."
"Lessens the risk with privileged access."
"Securely protects our TAP/NUID and privileged access accounts within the company."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"Session monitoring is excellent. It may be the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Customer support has been very helpful and responsive."
"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."
"The network visualization feature of Nozomi impacts security operations positively."
"It has impacted security operations in a better way."
"The most valuable feature of Nozomi Networks is its security features."
"The tool's visibility is good. We can see the traffic flow."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"The feature I like best is its stability."
 

Cons

"I think they can improve account onboarding. For instance, you have to use the Password Vault utility, whereas in Thycotic I think there is a feature in the user interface that allows you to upload your account with an Excel file. So I'd like to have a similar thing in CyberArk."
"It's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."
"I find it hard to mention a point of improvement because I'm happy with the platform. The only thing I would say is that they can improve their price."
"It is easily customized, and that customization makes it very easy to start trying to shoehorn the solution into roles it was never intended to fill."
"Its GUI is very confusing."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"CyberArk could enhance its usability by simplifying its architecture and design."
"The solution should be able to mitigate internal threats"
"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"The solution should include an integration library."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"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."
"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have two types of licensing: purchase and subscription. You have to pay for each admin user, such as Microsoft admin, mail admin, database admin, etc."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"Its price is high. I have also worked with Delinea. CyberArk is comparatively expensive compared to other PAM solutions, such as Delinea, especially during renewal."
"My company always complains about the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager because it's too high."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is a very expensive product."
"The main problem for the tool is its licensing. I work for a really big company. When you try to develop this as a service, usually you work with leverage teams who are formed with dozens of members. You might dedicate one FTE, or less, for something, e.g., an antivirus administrator. You might have half an FTE's effort dedicated to administering the antivirus, but then you have a team of about 30 users who might access that ticket. The problem is that CyberArk eliminated the possibility of concurrent users years ago. This is a big problem for companies who work with leverage teams. You need to pay for everyone. 40 licenses are used by 20 or 30 people. This is a big problem because licenses are not precisely cheap."
"Its price can be reduced."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is expensive. There are no other fees other than the standard licensing fees."
"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."
