Featured Reviews

Lead Consultant at Wipro Limited
Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.

Secures critical infrastructures with essential user session audit records
A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Being able to access servers, web applications, network devices, etc. securely from anywhere, with MFA, with workflows that can be added for extra security, powerful auditing and reporting features, and easy Privileged Account Management, all backed by excellent support."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The risk of lost password and forbidden access to resources has been drastically reduced which increased the security level for the entire company,"
"If you can afford CyberArk Privileged Access Manager or you are looking 5 to 10 years in the future, it's a good investment."
"Creating policies and the password rotation feature have been valuable. We don't have to memorize our password for the ADM account."
"Thus far technical support is excellent; we haven't had any issues or difficulties."
"It has a lot of good tools, including everything we need."
"It does what it promised, it secures our platforms, has the scalability, and it is just a solid product."
"Technical support is very well aware of this."
"Thus far I can say technical support is excellent. We haven't had any issues or difficulties."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"Enhanced PSM support for Java based applications."
"It can be made user-friendly, in the sense of the console is pretty outdated."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in the report section."
"When I was a component owner for PAM's Privileged Threat Analytics (PTA) component, what I wanted was a clear mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a framework which has a comprehensive list of use cases. We reached out to the vendor and asked them how much coverage they have of the uses cases found on MITRE, which would have given us a better view of things while I was the product owner. Unfortunately they did not have the capability of mapping onto MITRE's framework at that time."
"More additional features as far as the REST is concerned, because we have something which was the predecessor to REST."
"It can be integrated with other systems, but it is not easy to integrate. It takes too long to integrate it."
"In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, the UI has room for improvement, as does the dashboard reporting, which could be made better or easier to use."
"However, there is still room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"It's not a cheap application. It's very expensive."
"I believe that this solution is priced well. It's the market leader and I think that it's the best solution."
"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."
"CyberArk has been Gartner's number-one pick for the past ten years, so you can infer that their pricing is higher than everyone else. When you are the best, you will charge appropriately for it."
"No, I do not have any advice on the price of the product."
"It costs us around $200 per user."
"The solution is costly but we get what we pay for."
"My company always complains about the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager because it's too high."
