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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"The granular controls of CyberArk Secrets Management are very niche in their development and very secure from the overall secret management perspective, offering high-level functionalities where we have control over user access, which can be tracked and monitored."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"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."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"It does have advantages over the other products that we are seeing. Other products don't have the out-of-the-box OTP option, whereas One Identity Password Manager has the out-of-the-box OTP option. It also has a cloud-based solution for generating OTPs. So, the customers can either opt for their own SMS gateway, or they can use the One Identity OTP option where they don't have to have an SMS gateway. With other products, customers must have their own SMS gateway."
"The solution is very customizable."
"What I found most valuable in One Identity Password Manager is its easy use. It's a flexible solution. It also supports many languages, including Arabic."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"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."
"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
"One Identity Password Manager could improve the integration with other technology, it is complex for integrating. There needs to be more connectors or adapters. There is limited out-of-the-box customization."
"An area for improvement in One Identity Password Manager is the management gap since Quest is no longer under Dell, and One Identity is under Quest. The management gap resulted in poor support, which needs improvement."
 

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."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
"The licensing for One Identity Password Manager depends on the customer's requirement. For example, it could be one year, or it could be three years. In general, One Identity Password Manager is not an expensive product. Pricing for it is competitive."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
"Its price is on the cheaper side. It has a perpetual license, and everything is included in the license. You only have to pay separately for the SMS gateway or the OTP part."
"The price of One Identity Password Manager is average. There are other solutions that are more expensive, such as ARCON and others that are less expensive."
