Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

Effective threat protection with room for cost and usability improvements
There are some drawbacks that I would mention. To be frank, enterprises always look for cost benefits, so Kaspersky could implement some price benefits. Additionally, regarding know-how, if I am an experienced person it's fine, but when someone novice is working with it, they need information about why certain actions are required. Security is a field that is very vast, and implications are not known to everyone. In future updates, a quick walk-through and know-how features would be beneficial, such as information text at relevant places. This will increase usability. Feature-wise, an impact analysis would be a really good addition.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very easy to manage, which I like. The solution also has a dashboard where you can see which software is suspicious, which I find valuable."
"The product is very flexible"
"The solution allows me to give access and privileges to each user individually"
"It allows whitelisting."
"We have not had issues with CyberArk. It works very smoothly. We can do many things with CyberArk. It helps us to see exactly what is happening."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."
"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."
"It offers great performance."
"I would recommend it to others as it's easy to use."
"The password thing is very good, and the overall URL protection."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway is the antivirus."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the antivirus and child protection features."
"When it comes to threat detection, it is very strict with file downloads and uploads. It sends reports and quarantines suspicious files."
"Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway has positively impacted our organization by helping us control unwanted attacks and limiting our exposure to risks."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and operation efficiency."
"The most valuable aspect for me is the user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies."
"CyberArk has some performance issues. For example, servers could not handle the solution when we first took CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can improve its Identity Governance, which is already working effectively yet could continue to enhance its capabilities."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."
"If you do not have certification, you cannot send a ticket; this makes dealing with technical support difficult."
"Despite newer versions and functionalities, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks sufficient knowledgeable support staff, resulting in longer wait times for assistance."
"The tool should be more user-friendly."
"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution. There are a lot of moving components and a lot of things involved."
"The customer support of the product is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The initial setup of Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway is complex. The full deployment took approximately two weeks."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the pricing."
"When I do a configuration, I do not know what implication it will have downstream."
"In different locations, they're priced differently, but that's mainly marketing rather than the product features."
"It might be helpful to have notifications on mobile devices, especially if the same browser profile is used on both mobile and laptop."
"I believe the absence of a procedure is the main issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."
"Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
"We pay about $17 per user."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"I am okay with the pricing."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with ten being very expensive and one being cheap. It's neither too cheap nor too expensive."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"Personal computer licenses can be expensive if you were to scale the solution extensively. However, large companies will most likely use Endpoint solutions and not this one."
"The cost is relatively high, and as a licensed product, there are restrictions on the number of users permitted per license."
"It is expensive."
