Featured Reviews

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.
Jyothikumar C - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined access management through integration and simplified setup
Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers. It integrates well with single sign-on (SSO) and Ansible Playbooks, allowing me to manage inventories easily. Teleport provides a straightforward setup process with a single command line, making it easier to manage the onboarding and offboarding of team members.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For me, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager's most valuable features are password and session management."
"Technical support is very helpful whenever we have any questions."
"Technical support has been very responsive in navigating challenges. It is very easy to open a ticket."
"I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is privileged session management."
"The automatic rotation of credentials is probably the most useful feature."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It has the ability to scale out. We have scaled out quite a bit with our product and use of it to get to multiple locations and businesses, so it has the breadth to do that."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
 

Cons

"Having a centralized place to manage the solution has been something that I have always wanted, and they are starting to understand that and bring things back together."
"New functionalities and discovered bugs take longer to patch. We would greatly appreciate quicker development of security patches and bug corrections."
"There is a little bit of confusion in the implementation part, especially when one tries to understand the actual working of the product."
"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."
"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."
"I think having a distributed architecture would certainly help this solution."
"I would like to see more integration with more tools, for more APIs."
"Integration with the ticketing system should allow any number of fields to be used for validation before allowing a user to be evaluated and able to access a server."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive and requires a license. We pay for an enterprise license."
"Before we bought it, they were licensing each function individually, which got complicated and very expensive. When we decided to buy it, it was much more straightforward and still quite expensive, but it brings a lot of value and risk reduction to the organization."
"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"It's per-company, license-based."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Payments have to be made on a yearly basis toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"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."
