Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.0
CyberArk Privileged Access Manager enhances security, saves costs, and automates processes for improved control over privileged accounts.
Sentiment score
5.2
Users saw enhanced security and efficiency with Securonix Next-Gen SIEM, experiencing quick implementation and notable returns on investment.
The return on investment lies in improved security infrastructure, addressing over-privileged access, and reducing the risk of credential compromise, which is a major source of data breaches.
The end users have the authority to reconcile the password or verify it before using session isolation, which is one of the unique features that can be enabled through Privileged Session Manager, preventing any attacks from happening within the organization when connected with sessions through CyberArk Privileged Access Manager.
During our quantitative analysis, we estimated potential savings of one to ten million dollars a year by using a PAM solution.
The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.5
CyberArk's support is improving, with overall quality appreciated but needing faster response times and better initial case handling.
Sentiment score
7.3
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers responsive, knowledgeable support, though occasional delays and escalations may occur in urgent situations.
CyberArk has been exceptional in coming back to us with immediate responses.
It could be forever until you talk to someone who knows what they are doing.
They are helpful, but complex issues can take a long time to resolve, which can delay solutions for urgent customer issues.
There is no UK-based support, which leads to delays in waiting for US support.
If I raise a ticket, it initially goes to the L1 team, but the next level of escalation is really effective.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is praised for its scalability, though some users face licensing and initial planning difficulties.
Sentiment score
7.9
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers scalable cloud-based architecture, seamless data integration, and efficient management for large organizations with multiple log sources.
The CPM can reportedly handle up to 50,000 accounts independently without issue.
I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.
They had 40,000 passwords in this one safe, and it was saving the last ten iterations of each password object. That means they had 400,000 password objects in this safe. They exceeded the limit.
The solution is scalable as it is cloud-based and cloud-native.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is praised for stability and reliability, with most issues arising from configuration or user errors.
Sentiment score
8.0
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is stable and reliable, with high ratings despite minor integration issues and occasional slowness.
Proper fine-tuning and expertise ensure the product performs well.
Overall, the stability of the solution is high.
It has a large customer base and positive feedback within my network.
 

Room For Improvement

CyberArk Privileged Access Manager requires UI improvements, expanded features, better integration, and accessible pricing for enhanced user experience.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM struggles with complexity, limited customization, and integration issues, impacting usability and customer satisfaction.
They want everything to be on the cloud, but even in the SaaS version of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, they need to deploy some servers on-premises.
We cannot generate a plug-in for web-based applications.
If they want clients to move to the cloud, they need to support them in real-time.
The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth.
SIEM could have better integration with other technologies.
When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find CyberArk costly but justify it with its top-notch capabilities and comprehensive security features.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers competitive and predictable pricing based on user numbers, ideal for large enterprises.
CyberArk is expensive compared to other products I know.
CyberArk is comparatively expensive compared to other PAM solutions, such as Delinea, especially during renewal.
CyberArk's SaaS solution is particularly expensive.
Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS.
The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.
 

Valuable Features

CyberArk Privileged Access Manager excels in security with credential management, AI-enhanced threat detection, and extensive integration capabilities.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM provides advanced threat detection and management with machine learning, automation, and user behavior analytics.
CyberArk Privileged Access Manager helps ensure data privacy because we now know who is using which credentials and at what time.
It keeps a record of activities, allowing me to easily fetch screen recordings to detect any misuse and see who did what and what happened.
It can integrate with Splunk, SNMP, and other solutions and technologies.
The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities.
Now, the process is automatic, reducing our workload.

Featured Reviews

Lasantha Wijesinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
We have visibility and control through real-time user behavior analytics
It took us some time to realize its benefits because there was a learning curve for us. It took us about a year to get our heads around this product and start effectively using it. It is a journey. It takes at least five years for any company to make this product very useful and reach maturity. It is not only the product's fault. The company needs to have a vision, and the company culture needs to go with it. Senior leadership needs to support the vision. You need to have lots of ingredients for success. If everything is in place, you will see success after one year. In the first year, it is a struggle for everybody. My company was bought by a bigger company, and they were very new to privileged access management. Everybody was struggling. The advice I would give is to have a good vision for privileged access management. You need dedicated teams, senior management support, and proper company policies and standards before implementing the solution. Start building knowledge slowly and avoid jumping into the deep end without preparation. I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager a nine out of ten.
Ibrahim Albalawi - PeerSpot reviewer
Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing
The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.
