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 automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"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 audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"The product supports customization."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"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."
"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."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
 

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 product is a little expensive."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"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."
"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."
