Atul-Gujar - PeerSpot reviewer
CyberArk manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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.

A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows users to self-provision access to the accounts that they need."
"Allows secure, logged access to highly sensitive servers and services."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has helped our organization remain compliant in the privileged access management space."
"Performance-wise, it is excellent."
"Initial setup was very easy; we started integrating systems and providing access to systems within a few days."
"If properly set up, CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault has good stability, and is a very solid tool. It can run by itself. Its most valuable features are auto password recycling and PSM."
"The integrations are the most valuable aspect of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager. The software offers pre-built integrations, and our team can also create custom connectors. This flexibility allows us to integrate with systems that we previously didn't consider integrating with, making it a significant advantage for us."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
 

Cons

"They could improve CyberArk Privileged Access Manager by providing more reports. If I need to know the 10 most-used accounts for this week, that functionality can be made available in the reports."
"What could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the licensing model. It should be more flexible in terms of the users. Currently, it's based on the number of users, but many users only log in once in four months or once in five months. It would be great if the licensing model could be modified based on user needs. We even have users who have not logged in even once."
"The current user interface is a little dated. However, I hear there are changes coming in the next version."
"We found the initial setup quite difficult. There were a lot of errors and we found the process to be a bit complex."
"Currently, in Secure Connect, an end user is required to enter account information manually, and cannot save any of this information for future use."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"They can work on the pricing part. Its pricing is a big challenge here."
"The main challenge was integrating with in-house IT and business applications, which are not standard. We needed to create special updates for that kind of integration."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With reducing the privileged account access, there has been a huge improvement. They are now bringing more accounts on a little at a time."
"The SaaS version of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is very expensive, but the on-premises version is relative, e.g. depending on the size of the environment, it can be a bit pricey, but it's relatively okay compared to the others."
"The solution is costly but we get what we pay for."
"They have two types of licensing: purchase and subscription. You have to pay for each admin user, such as Microsoft admin, mail admin, database admin, etc."
"I do not have any opinions to add about the pricing of the product."
"This solution is expensive."
"The pricing is slightly higher compared to other solutions, but it is reasonable because there are better security features."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
