Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 2, 2026

Idira Privileged Access Manager and Nozomi Networks compete in the cybersecurity category, focusing on privileged access management and network security, respectively. Idira seems to have the upper hand in session management and compliance, while Nozomi excels in network visibility and detection capabilities.

Features: Idira Privileged Access Manager offers session recording and termination, automatic credential management, and password vaulting. It supports compliance needs with features such as auditing and detailed reporting capabilities. Nozomi Networks focuses on real-time network visibility, threat detection, asset management, and seamless integration with SOC and SIEM solutions for a comprehensive security overview.

Room for Improvement: Idira needs more plugin connectors for device management and enhanced search capabilities in session recordings. It can improve session recording search features. CyberArk, a competitor, lacks integration with non-standard IT environments and vendor management feature improvements. Nozomi Networks could enhance AI integration and threat intelligence features to better compete with products like Dragos, and could benefit from more customization options and better pricing models.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Idira is commonly deployed on-premises with some hybrid and cloud options, receiving mixed reviews for technical support, depending on the issue's complexity. Nozomi Networks offers primarily cloud-based deployments that integrate well into existing infrastructures, with customer service ranging from excellent to in need of escalation support improvements.

Pricing and ROI: Idira Privileged Access Manager is viewed as expensive with evolving pricing models, but the ROI can be seen in its robust security and compliance features. Nozomi Networks, while not cheap, offers mid-range pricing with substantial ROI due to its efficiency in threat detection and asset visibility, appealing to security-focused organizations. Each solution’s cost and ROI reflect their feature set and standing in the market, with ROI in improved security and compliance adhering to market requirements.

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.

On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved. For example, when I export any data, there are only 50 columns available. What if there were more columns? Nozomi Networks does not provide that data, so I have to go to the query section. The AI is currently useful for writing queries in English that are converted into their coding language for queries. Sometimes it provides the correct data, and sometimes it does not understand the request. From my attempts, I would say 50 percent of the time it has given me the proper data, and 50 percent of the time it might need improvement. Every day or week, new threat intelligence and AI upgrades are being released for Vantage, and all those upgrades are being implemented. Things are getting better, but I believe there are areas of improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Password Vault is probably the top product in that space, and it's a monster to implement, but CyberArk is great at what they do."

"We primarily use this product for privileged identity management, restricting privileged IDs, and governance."

"We have been able to manage application credentials in CyberArk, whether they come as a custom plugin or straight out-of-the-box."

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has several valuable features; the basic feature is privileged access management with all the processes and procedures that are needed, and it does everything that is needed to provide a PAM project or program."

"Our most valuable features would probably be key rotation, the SKM or SSH key manager, and account discovery."

"The combination of CPM and PSM resolves a lot of use cases."

"I found it valuable that CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be integrated with PTA (privileged threat analytics), and this means that it will tell you if there's a risk to the logins and signs of risk and if risky behavior is observed. It's a good feature. Another good feature is the CPM (central password manager) because it helps you rotate the passwords automatically without involving the admins. It can go and update the scheduled tasks and the services. At the same time, if there's an application where it cannot do all of these, CPM will trigger an automatic email to the application owners, telling them that they should go ahead and change the password. This allows you to manage the account password that CyberArk cannot manage, which helps mitigate the risk of old passwords, where the password gets compromised, and also allows you to manage the security of the domain."

"When we started with RPA, there was a requirement that every credential and the bots themselves be protected through the PAM system. From the get-go, we've had CyberArk in the middle... We've got a pretty robust RPA implementation with our PAM platform. Users, bots, the credentials — everything is managed via our PAM solution."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager pros

"Provides security for our operational technology environment for OT and IoT."

"The most valuable features of Nozomi Networks are the visibility of OT protocols and the versatility in finding the details of the assets feeding the tool."

"It has impacted security operations in a better way."

"The most valuable feature of Nozomi Networks is its security features."

"The feature I like best is its stability."

"The network visualization feature of Nozomi impacts security operations positively."

"The best feature of Nozomi Networks is that it has built OT-oriented protocols such as OPC UA, DNP3, Modbus, and Siemens S7, and for these protocols, Nozomi Networks identifies them very perfectly."

"The tool's visibility is good. We can see the traffic flow."

More Nozomi Networks pros

Cons

"Their post-sale support area requires a big improvement. Customers cannot automate tickets directly with CyberArk. They have to come through the distributor or bring in partners who have access to the support portal. Basically, the support for post-sales implementation is there, but the role of CyberArk is very minimal. Customers have to rely on partners, which sometimes creates issues. Some of the vendors help you during the implementation process, but the CyberArk support team does not do that. They have 24/7 support for our region, but they help only if there is an emergency or there is a problem with their system. If the password vault is down or the system is down, they provide immediate attention. For almost everything else, they take more time to respond. They give low priority to service-related or migration-related questions."

"CyberArk has to continue to evolve with that threat landscape to make sure that they're still protecting those credentials that are owned by those that have privileged accounts in the firms."

"Authentication to the PVWA utilises integration to IIS. Therefore, it is not as strong as desired."

"The scalability, sometimes, is lacking. It works really well for more static environments... But for an environment where you're constantly spinning up new infrastructure or new endpoints, sometimes it has a hard time keeping up."

"Implementation documentation could use some improvement in a few areas."

"It is web-based, but other competitors have apps. We need to get there. It is just smoother to have an app. You don't have all the bugs from having a browser, and people like them better, since you can get to them via mobile."

"I'm not a fan of technical support with CyberArk. It's like jumping through red tape and hoops."

"Password Vault is much pricier than other solutions. A vendor team might struggle to explain why that price is justified."

More Idira Privileged Access Manager cons

"The solution should include an integration library."

"Proof of concept could be improved. It could be more tangible to the customer and the end users to have a video presentation or something like that."

"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."

"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."

"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."

"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."

"Regarding the functionality of Nozomi Networks, the query syntax is very complicated. The syntax of the queries is very complex, so sometimes you will not get what you want."

"We have faced downtimes, crashes, or performance issues with certain implementations."

More Nozomi Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's licensing is yearly. I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"It costs us around $200 per user."

"It's per-company, license-based."

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."

"It is not a cheap solution. It is expensive as compared with other solutions. However, it is one of the best solutions in their domain."

"The pricing for CyberArk is on the higher side compared to other Privileged Access Management products. Something should be done regarding enterprise licensing for long-standing customers."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is a very expensive product."
