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.

Helps me deal with a litany of access credentials, but the user interface is not well structured
Our primary use for this solution is password management. We have so many websites, passwords, and user IDs that it is impossible to remember them all This solution has helped us deal with the litany of access credentials, whether business or personal. The most valuable feature is that it stores…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tech support is amazing."
"CyberArk is one of the best PAM solutions and one of the most expensive, but it works better than the others, so the pricing is fair."
"I have an affinity towards CyberArk; I find that it works out-of-the-box as a product."
"The feature that I like the most is the Privileged Session Manager."
"This product is helpful for financial auditing needs, as well."
"The credentials management capability is key to ensuring that the credentials are kept secure and that access to them is done on a temporary and event-driven basis."
"I see the Auto IT integration as the most valuable feature."
"We are maintaining compliance in PCI, SOX and HIPPA, which is a big thing. Auditors really like it, and it has made us stay compliant."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"Initial setup was complex and time-consuming but the later versions are a lot faster to implement."
"The current interface is not very intuitive."
"I would prefer that this is a fully-managed service, rather than have to manage the software ourselves and keep it up to date."
"One limitation is that we are not able to put this into a decentralized mode."
"I'm not a fan of technical support with CyberArk. It's like jumping through red tape and hoops. Quite frankly, it's almost like when you call CyberArk you get the Help Desk or the level-one. I'm a level-one. I got the CCD, I know how to do the initial troubleshooting. When I call CyberArk it's because I can't figure the problem out. So I need a level-two, three, four. I don't need you to tell me, "Hey, open a ticket and then give me logs.""
"The native PSM components are really good, however, if you have to apply environmental tweaks to an application launch, custom AutoIt scripts are needed."
"Based on the user experience that I see on a day-to-day basis, some changes could be made to the Privileged Session Manager tool to make it more user-friendly. The user interface of that tool could be more advanced and understandable to laymen, rather than being more of a developer tool."
"It is very expensive. They charge for every single thing they offer."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Although CyberArk Privileged Access Management is expensive, its protection capabilities outweigh the cost."
"The solution is available at a high price"
"I have heard from my leaders that CyberArk is costlier in terms of licensing. The support and maintenance are also costly. We use their premium support, but for the price we pay, we do not get the value."
"Cost efficiency is the number one thing that can be improved in my mind. This would change lots of companies minds on purchasing the product."
"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
"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."
"CyberArk is good at what they do, and the price reflects that. You have to pay the price for the same."
"The solution is cost-effective for the features."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
