We performed a comparison between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, Palo Alto Networks WildFire, and Sophos Cyberoam UTM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."We are able to centrally manage credentials, touch applications, and rotate passwords."
"Provides improved security around having your credentials locked down and rotated regularly."
"They just released Marketplace, and they are constantly releasing updates to the components and adding new components, like Conjur. This is something that we ran into with Secret Server and DevOps, so it is already scalable, but becoming more so in the future."
"Allows secure, logged access to highly sensitive servers and services."
"It supports lots of requirements in the privileged access management area."
"The flexibility of integrating with other technologies is important because of a lot of applications - a lot of COTS products - are not supported when we are bringing the application IDs. The CyberArk platform provides a lot of opportunities to do customization."
"It is an extremely scalable solution."
"AIM has been a great help in automating password retrieval which removes the need for hard-coded credentials."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"SD-WAN and IPSec features are valuable to me."
"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"The product is worth the investment."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Content filtering, as this enables me to control that which employees can view at different time quotas."
"I find Sophos Cyberoam UTM very good. I like the feature of being able to block off Mac IDs that host users. For example, you have a Mac or Windows laptop and you created a hotspot. Other devices like mobiles and tablets e.g. iPads connected to that hotspot. We can block those devices that connected to the hotspot we created, only through Sophos. It's a good feature we didn't find in other UTMs."
"The scalability, sometimes, is lacking. It works really well for more static environments... But for an environment where you're constantly spinning up new infrastructure or new endpoints, sometimes it has a hard time keeping up."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager difficulty depends on the environment that you are implementing it into. However, it typically is simple."
"One of the main things that could be improved would be filtering accounts on the main page and increasing the functionality of the filters. There are some filters on the side which are very specific, but I feel there could be more."
"One thing that could be improved is to create of a better alternative for fixing group policy fees. We currently use Microsoft, but they have introduced new policies that may not be compatible."
"Tech support staff can be more proactive."
"The one place where we found that this product really needs to improve is the cloud. Simple integrations don't exist, even today. We don't have anything specific on CyberArk for managing, SaaS products, SaaS vendors, SaaS credentials. I understand it's a vendor-based thing and that they have to coordinate with the other vendors to be able to do that, and there are integrations coming. But these are the major places where CyberArk definitely needs to invest some more time."
"It needs better documentation with more examples for the configuration files and API/REST integration"
"The issue of technical support is crucial, as there are not many specialized partners available in Brazil to provide this service. While English language support is of good quality, there is a significant shortage of partners capable of meeting the demand locally."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"The setup is a bit complex, so we needed help from a consultant."
"The VPN is an area that can be improved."
"The reporting should be improved as well as the backup."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"Hence, it needs to be easier to configure rules using the solution."
