Featured Reviews

Abdul Durrani - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault are password rotations and password encryptions."
"The accounts are maintained automatically. Hence, resource and administration costs are less."
"The most valuable feature is the special management. It records the activity and the actions that we use for auditing."
"Every aspect of the solution is very well integrated, and even that gives comfort. It is a fail-safe kind of environment."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"By implementing CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we wanted to secure the password data and password accounts. We could see the benefits of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager immediately after we deployed it and started using it."
"I find value in notifications from CyberArk when passwords fail verification and have other issues."
"I'm no longer the product owner for PAM, but I can say that the most useful feature is the vault functionality, which keeps all your passwords secure in a digital vault."
"The product supports customization."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."
 

Cons

"As of now, it does not manage all of the IDM practices. It is only good as a PAM solution."
"There were a lot of manual steps in the initial setup which could have been automated. I read the 10.4 release that was sent out about a month or two ago, and I saw the steps required for upgrade have been reduced by about 90%. That was a big thing for me, but I still haven't seen that yet because we have not upgrade past 9.9.5."
"The authentication port is available in CyberArk Alero but not Fortinet products."
"The usual workload is sometimes delayed by the solution."
"We would like to expand the usage of the auto discovery accounts feed, then on our end, tie in the REST API for automation."
"We don't often contact technical support, but when we do it, the response could be faster and better."
"They are sometimes not flexible with things. For instance, from one day to another, there might be something that had been done years ago by CyberArk, then they say, "We do not support that." You then have to initiate a complaint and start working with them. Things might become complicated and months pass while you are working with them. Usually, they are good and fast, but sometimes they seem to be blocked with problems, e.g., you will suddenly be working with another team instead of the team that you were working with the day before."
"Customers also want CyberArk's pricing to be better so that they can implement it further and have more licenses."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"There are problems with stability."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk is good at what they do, and the price reflects that. You have to pay the price for the same."
"Payments have to be made on a yearly basis toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"Generally, I don't get involved in the licensing or the purchasing side of it, but I do know that the licenses are expensive."
"The pricing is slightly higher compared to other solutions, but it is reasonable because there are better security features."
"My company always complains about the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager because it's too high."
"I believe that this solution is priced well. It's the market leader and I think that it's the best solution."
"The tool is affordable."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
"The product is a little expensive."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
