Featured Reviews

Supports seamless authentication for users across multiple organizations and personal portals
The features I use in Cisco Duo include Duo Pushes to confirm my identity to the device, and eventually as MFA security was increased, I actually had to use exchange passcodes. Sometimes, I have to go into the site and get into Cisco Duo to retrieve the passcode, and many of them have been two-factor, where the sites send a passcode that I have to enter into Cisco Duo. It has been more of the latter. I have not seen issues with lagging or crashing on Cisco Duo's end; it was usually on the client end, often because someone set up a bad upgrade or there were connection issues with the Cisco Duo cloud through the administrative site.

Dashboard has provided clear access insights but report analysis still needs simplification
Delinea Fastpath's dashboard is great and gives me a bunch of information right from the entry point. However, to get to the real substance of it, that's where it becomes very time consuming. I would say reports are good; they're mostly just an extract of Excel type reports, and then it's a matter of analyzing the data.
Mahmudul Hoque Khan - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized access has improved privileged control and visibility yet still needs better integrations
While the access control capabilities are useful, streamlining some configuration and policy management workflows could enhance the user experience for administrators. A simpler interface for creating access policies and quickly identifying unusual activities would make day-to-day administration more efficient. Stronger integration with existing identity data and secret management could be a significant improvement for Idira Privileged Access Manager. Deeper integration with cloud solutions would make it easier to correlate privileged access activity with other security events. I would also appreciate more flexible reporting and dashboards so administrators can swiftly see access patterns and unusual privileged access from a single view.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From the front end, it's very fast and it hasn't missed a beat, so to say."
"All features of the solution are effective, particularly those involved in identifying vulnerabilities and updates."
"I like the set time that users can log into devices during the day and how many times they can do so. I also like the ability to restrict the regions from which the user can get in. Users outside of our country or even the town cannot log in."
"Cisco Duo is very user-friendly."
"Being able to just use a thumbprint makes it very fast."
"Cisco Duo benefits my organization because we do not have too many logins since everything is in one place and we can use Cisco Duo for VPN, applications, and cloud solutions."
"I appreciate the features that Cisco Duo offers."
"The product is really amazing, and I think it is one of the best documentation sets I have ever seen."
"Delinea Fastpath's dashboard is great and gives me a bunch of information right from the entry point."
"Fastpath Assure has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to identify loopholes in excessive access rights granted to different users, and we are also working on minimizing our license costs."
"I help implement and train others on how to use it in a highly secure environment."
"Overall, I think CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is very good and can be considered a market leader in this space."
"The solution is very stable."
"The logs and reporting features are impressive."
"CyberArk Password Vault is super stable once you are on a tried and true platform version."
"I really like the PTA (Privileged Threat Analytics). I find this the best feature."
"Comparing it to other providers, Cyberark provides a more user-friendly environment with many more features and benefits."
"I have an affinity towards CyberArk; I find that it works out-of-the-box as a product."
 

Cons

"For a non-prepared, non-technical user, it could be tricky and quite complex."
"Cisco Duo can be improved by exploring a way to make it a more seamless integration and by deploying an in-house server."
"For upgrades, there should be a better notification of when they're coming out. We always have a testing phase, so we need to be ahead of it. It takes us longer before we can upgrade to the newest version."
"We had a lot of trouble configuring the password reset function, and as a result we now have a second channel that bypasses Duo to allow users to reset their password."
"The only thing I can think of to improve for tech support is to have a dedicated engineer but then I would get an engineer that has priorities in one area or another and maybe not the scope I need."
"There is another issue with removing the application from your computer. It is difficult to remove the application on Windows."
"It took me a while to figure it out. I went to every user and forced them to set it up. I might have done it the long way."
"My experience with Cisco Duo's strong security authentication system is that sometimes there are difficulties, and sometimes users just won't be able to log in. We have to reset their password so they can use Duo."
"Delinea Fastpath's setup cost was a little high, and I think it has even gone up."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been that it is quite expensive, but with Fastpath Assure, we have identified areas where we are paying more for licensing."
"It can be integrated with other systems, but it is not easy to integrate. It takes too long to integrate it. Its integration should be easier and simpler."
"The solution that they proposed was not straightforward because of the backend processes of CyberArk."
"Their post-sale support area requires a big improvement."
"The usual workload is sometimes delayed by the solution."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"The downside is that it's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."
"The product could be easier to use. More work needs to be done on this aspect; it is not good enough yet. It also takes up a lot of server space. Sometimes we need to use up to seven servers."
"They need to provide better training for the System Integrator."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a business perspective, it is a little bit costly. The licensing is on a per-user basis."
"Their pricing model is a little bit weird. Currently, there is no price advantage in signing up for yearly contracts. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing costs."
"The pricing was a lot more than what we were paying for our previous solution."
"I only need the solution for IT staff, which makes it relatively cheap. If I deployed it for the whole company, it would be costly, so it depends on the number of users. Duo Security is affordable compared to other products in the segment."
"My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing has been good, with no issues. I am pleased that the prices remained stable after Cisco acquired the solution."
"I am not aware of the pricing. There are two departments, and I don't have any information about them."
"The cost was reasonable. Licensing was pretty straightforward for a change."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
Information not available
"Payments have to be made on a yearly basis toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Generally, I don't get involved in the licensing or the purchasing side of it, but I do know that the licenses are expensive."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could be less expensive."
"The main problem for the tool is its licensing. I work for a really big company. When you try to develop this as a service, usually you work with leverage teams who are formed with dozens of members. You might dedicate one FTE, or less, for something, e.g., an antivirus administrator. You might have half an FTE's effort dedicated to administering the antivirus, but then you have a team of about 30 users who might access that ticket. The problem is that CyberArk eliminated the possibility of concurrent users years ago. This is a big problem for companies who work with leverage teams. You need to pay for everyone. 40 licenses are used by 20 or 30 people. This is a big problem because licenses are not precisely cheap."
"I would rate CyberArk's pricing a nine out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the market, but it's worth it."
"The solution is available at a high price"
"I'm a technician so I don't handle the licensing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, but I know that the price for the core license is about €140 per year. There's another type of license, the external vendor license, and that's about €600 and you can manage twenty devices. From what I know, the price for one device in a subscription is about €65 per year. You can buy the CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager too, or you can buy some other application or application license with CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, but all other features, such as the Analytics Server is included in the basic CyberArk license. With WALLIX, you need to buy separate licenses for the features."
