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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It makes compliance of the organization with password management easy, resulting in a handy auditing process and adherence to all risk compliance as well."
"Technical support is very helpful whenever we have any questions."
"The vault is almost a set-and-forget solution."
"If you can afford CyberArk Privileged Access Manager or you are looking 5 to 10 years in the future, it's a good investment."
"It is very simple to use."
"The best feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is its core function: automatically managing and securing credentials."
"The risk of lost password and forbidden access to resources has been drastically reduced which increased the security level for the entire company,"
"The tech support is amazing."
"Password vaulting and password recovery: The encrypted password protects the clear text passwords and the recovery checkout process provides an audit of when the password was used."
"I believe that the amount of malware that has been blocked and possible infections that have been avoided due to randomizing the accounts truly outweigh the cost of the product and yearly maintenance renewals."
"It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk."
"It is very easy to install and enumerate all machines from an Active Directory domain and begin changing passwords on domain and local accounts."
"It is built to be scalable to a virtually infinite capacity."
"It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk."
 

Cons

"If we could have some kind of out-of-the box feature that you can simply say "no" so they don't have to go into a development mode, that would a really helpful feature."
"Online help needs to be looked into with live agent support."
"It is very complex and difficult to set up the solution."
"There were a lot of manual steps in the initial setup which could have been automated."
"We should be able to join small components."
"Pricing is a concern for me because it is not very user-friendly for startups, new users, or very small organizations."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could improve the integration with other solutions and ease of use. Additionally, there should be a feature to have remote connections without a VPN."
"We want to manage DBA privileged IDs that access Oracle DBs. We have 100 DBs and 30 DBAs and there is no automated way to grant the access."
"They should improve the application password management. The capability to manage high availability application passwords is its biggest shortcoming."
"The included session recording is not very robust."
"Session recording generally works but intermittently stops."
"They should improve the application password management. The capability to manage high availability application passwords is its biggest shortcoming."
"One of the features that ERPM is capable of providing is giving users the ability to 'request' admin credentials on their machines for a specific purpose (provided you have removed all users from local admin on their machines)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This solution is expensive."
"The pricing is slightly higher compared to other solutions, but it is reasonable because there are better security features."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"Pricing is a problem. CyberArk is expensive compared to other products I know. It is similar to buying a German car. It comes with all the bells and whistles, but some companies may find it too expensive."
"Payments have to be made on a yearly basis toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"The product’s pricing is feasible for enterprise customers. The pricing is expensive for smaller businesses. You need to pay additional costs for service implementation and local support."
