CyberArk manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Secures critical infrastructures with essential user session audit records
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.

Helps me deal with a litany of access credentials, but the user interface is not well structured
Our primary use for this solution is password management. We have so many websites, passwords, and user IDs that it is impossible to remember them all This solution has helped us deal with the litany of access credentials, whether business or personal. The most valuable feature is that it stores…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk has the ability to change the credentials on every platform."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to delegate access to admins when they need it, allowing us to have some kind of proof on the approval process, rather than give people standing access on a full-time basis."
"CyberArk has resulted in a massive increase in our security footprint."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has positively impacted my organization, showing significant improvement since all sessions are monitored and isolated using isolated RDP sessions, which are created temporarily and expire if not used."
"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."
"AIM has been a great help in automating password retrieval which removes the need for hard-coded credentials."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"The web interface has come a long way, but the PrivateArk client seems clunky and not intuitive."
"They should allow further customization as it's really hard to do any further customizations over CyberArk."
"Better search functionality in the EPM console. It becomes difficult to search lengthy policies for specific items."
"This solution is a bit complex compared to other solutions."
"For least privilege management, we need a different level of certification from privileged management."
"Having a cloud version would be very helpful. You have to invest a lot of money for the infrastructure hardware so the cloud version would help."
"We would, of course, always prefer it if the pricing was cheaper."
"CyberArk has to continue to evolve with that threat landscape to make sure that they're still protecting those credentials that are owned by those that have privileged accounts in the firms."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"No, I do not have any advice on the price of the product."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is a very expensive product."
"Previously, the pricing was very meager. They started publicizing and advertising the solution, growing CyberArk, as an organization. They also changed their pricing with that growth, e.g., the pricier the product, the more people who will purchase it."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"I hope to learn how the pricing works so that I can understand it better, but I am certain it is not inexpensive."
"CyberArk is good at what they do, and the price reflects that. You have to pay the price for the same."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
