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.

Offers security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed
There are a couple of things. One is the BreachWatch feature. It's one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords. So, it checks the passwords and helps improve them. There's also a security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed. Some people haven't changed their passwords for months, even though applications force them to change every 45 or 90 days. So you can catch those issues and warn them. Most applications allow for rotation, but some don't. I've seen people use the same password for years. At least Keeper tells us these passwords haven't been rotated, and we can warn them to change them manually since we can't force people to change the password.

Quotes from Members

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

Cons

"It was complex to introduction the product to the end-users and the technical team."
"The solution is good but can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."
"The product is expensive."
"They need much better integration with Azure AD."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."

"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."
