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

"I have used other privileged account management tools in the past; this, by far, outranks them as far as features and usability."
"They just released Marketplace, and they are constantly releasing updates to the components and adding new components, like Conjur. This is something that we ran into with Secret Server and DevOps, so it is already scalable, but becoming more so in the future."
"One of the benefits of using CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is we have an audit trail that fits the requirements of our organization and we are more secure using the features of the solution, such as investigating and tracking."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It supports lots of requirements in the privileged access management area."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager assists in meeting compliance and regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and SOX, ensuring I adhere to necessary standards in my operations."
"Thus far I can say technical support is excellent. We haven't had any issues or difficulties."
"CyberArk is a very stable product and it's a stable product because it has a simple design and a simple architecture that allows you to leverage the economies of scale across the base of your infrastructure that you already have implemented. It doesn't really introduce any new complex pieces of infrastructure that would make it that much more difficult to scale."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"I think having a distributed architecture would certainly help this solution."
"There was a functionality of the solution that was missing. I had noticed it in Beyond Trust, but not in this solution. But, recently they have incorporated something similar."
"Initially, there was a lot of hiccups, because there were a lot of transitions due to manual installations."
"The interface could be improved it is not user-friendly, but they have improved but it could still improve. In the policies configuration, it would be a benefit to have more details."
"PAM could be more user-friendly and CyberArk could update the documentation to include more real-world examples. You have to learn it yourself through trial and error. In particular, the online documentation should have more information about troubleshooting."
"Perhaps improve the user registry integration. It is already fine, but a bit atypical."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, the UI has room for improvement, as does the dashboard reporting, which could be made better or easier to use."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive and requires a license. We pay for an enterprise license."
"Its price can be reduced."
"Pricing is quite high and it could be improved."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a six out of ten."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
"CyberArk DNA is free if you purchase the CyberArk solution. There is no additional charge for CyberArk DNA, which is great."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
