Helps with compliance and improves operational flexibility
We have had both on-premises and SaaS models. The on-premise setup was a little difficult, but now that it has been moved to the SaaS model, everything is controlled by CyberArk. We just go and do our work. The initial on-premises setup took two weeks because it was an integrated effort. I had to spin up the servers and bring in the CyberArk Secrets Management resource to deploy the scripts. I then had to open networks and firewalls between CyberArk Secrets Management's on-premise servers and the application server. In the initial phase, it took two to three weeks, but it became easier when moving to the SaaS model. In terms of maintenance, it requires patching or upgrades, which happens one day in a month. If there is a failure, we have to roll back and try once again, which takes more time, but if everything goes smoothly, there is three to five hours of downtime.

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

Pros

"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"The single sign-on feature is excellent."
"The most valuable features of NetIQ Access Manager are SSO and Multi-Factor Authentication."
"The features that we have found most valuable with NetIQ Access Manager are its single sign-on and two factor two second factor database."
"There are lots of options to customize the solution to your needs."
"It's very easy to integrate with applications."
 

Cons

"We did not have a good experience with technical support because their numerous processes caused delays in engaging, leading to project delays or issues with production."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."
"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security of the infrastructure and the server and the working networking device."
"Having the ability to easily extract and view and compare and version control configurations would be ideal."
"Classification of junctions and new versions of applications, such as APIs, can be added to enable the use of more devices that utilize biometrics for Multi-Factor Authentication to improve the solution."
"The application portal could be improved with more options and easier customization."
"I would love to see the upgrade procedure handled more effectively. I would prefer to have OVS installation possibilities, although the upgrade procedures should include the OS as well. You should be able to use the whole application as an appliance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Secrets Management has a moderate pricing structure based on a per-tenant licensing model rather than a per-user account model like their PAM solution."
"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
"The price of the solution is average."
