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.

Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"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."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"The product supports customization."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
 

Cons

"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"There are problems with stability."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
"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."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
"The tool is affordable."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The product is a little expensive."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
