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.

Centralized access has strengthened security and simplified day-to-day infrastructure operations
Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration. Beyond onboarding and RBAC complexity, there are areas that could be enhanced from an integration perspective. While SSO integration works well, deeper out-of-the-box integrations with SIEM and monitoring tools would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."
"Our setup process is moving to the cloud, which is very good. It reduces complexity."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment."
"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."
"Product-wise we don't face that many issues, and basic integration of users and assigning them the rules and other stuff like that is, compared to other options, very straightforward."
"What sets CyberArk apart is its continuous innovation, staying ahead of the competition."
"The biggest benefit of CyberArk EPM for our customers is control over privileged access for endpoints. Endpoints are often the starting point for attackers to enter and move within a network. CyberArk EPM bridges the gap between security and operations teams. Operations teams are happy because work isn't stopped due to admin rights issues, while security teams are satisfied that full admin rights aren't given to all users."
"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."
"Teleport definitely reduced the risks; we are no longer exposing root-level accounts for people that are meant to have an elevated account."
"Teleport has positively impacted my organization by being very helpful for productivity and team collaboration, especially since the old tool we used took a lot of time to get approvals."
"Regarding how Teleport has positively impacted my organization, I have learned a lot of things through it, I understand how to deliver and receive content, and I have learned many things related to RF signals where we lose packets."
"Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."
"The best features include its main capabilities such as collecting actions and showing others what you did on the server, an easy way to connect to any bare-metal servers, and the ability to describe which servers you can use and who can connect to these servers."
"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
 

Cons

"The management of Privilege Access is not satisfactory."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager can be better by making its UI more consistent."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"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."
"The solution is good but can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."
"I rate it a seven because, as I mentioned, there is a security threat regarding clipboard access."
"I think it should have less complexity to set up on self-hosted because it is still a difficult process and I spend a lot of time using it on self-host."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"Sometimes our devices do not reflect the error, and then we work on why it is not showing any alarm or issue, even though we experience distortion or issues on the TS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it's quite a reasonably priced solution. It's not very common to use CyberArk because it's a niche solution, but customers who are willing to control administrative accounts are willing to pay this money."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."
"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."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."
