Mahmudul Hoque Khan - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized access has improved privileged control and visibility yet still needs better integrations
While the access control capabilities are useful, streamlining some configuration and policy management workflows could enhance the user experience for administrators. A simpler interface for creating access policies and quickly identifying unusual activities would make day-to-day administration more efficient. Stronger integration with existing identity data and secret management could be a significant improvement for Idira Privileged Access Manager. Deeper integration with cloud solutions would make it easier to correlate privileged access activity with other security events. I would also appreciate more flexible reporting and dashboards so administrators can swiftly see access patterns and unusual privileged access from a single view.

With a great support team and stability, the tool also offers scalability to its users
The initial setup was easy. One just needs to write the initial configuration. Then, in senhasegura's cloud applications, you can use it. I just deploy it in PoC environments or demo environments and not for production. Hence, it takes much less time than I imagine when comparing its deployment in production. I think it can be deployed in two or three days. My company has partnered with senhasegura. We just downloaded the main machine for virtual use. Then, we get the key to install it. Before, you just need to try the general configuration. Then, you will have the web applications ready. Then, you can just discover the accounts or any devices that you want to manage the accounts and manage the credentials.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I found most valuable in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the Session Manager as it allows you to split the connection between the administrator site and the target site. I also found the Password Manager valuable as it lets you rotate the passwords of privileged users."
"In terms of stability, there are no complaints; CyberArk, I would say, is an industry leader in this portfolio, especially in Privileged Access Management."
"The technical support is very good and helpful."
"CyberArk is a more secure product - much better than Thycotic."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the best solution for safeguarding sensitive patient data in healthcare, providing visibility and traceability that enhance compliance."
"The password rotation and cyber gateway have been quite useful."
"Technical support is excellent; one of the most knowledgeable and well-trained support staff."
"PSM (Privilege Session Manager."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Better search functionality in the EPM console. It becomes difficult to search lengthy policies for specific items."
"It can be integrated with other systems, but it is not easy to integrate. It takes too long to integrate it. Its integration should be easier and simpler."
"I would prefer that this is a fully-managed service, rather than have to manage the software ourselves and keep it up to date."
"The architecture needs to be improved."
"We would, of course, always prefer it if the pricing was cheaper."
"What needs to be improved in CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is their customer support, particularly in terms of responsiveness, willingness to help, and being more understanding. The initial setup and upgrade process for the solution is complex and can only be done by CyberArk, so this is another area for improvement."
"Additionally, I think the user experience needs to improve."
"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."
"In Linux credential discovery was a bit hard, but after Senhasegura's latest update, it is much easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Generally, I don't get involved in the licensing or the purchasing side of it, but I do know that the licenses are expensive."
"I do not have any opinions to add about the pricing of the product."
"I hope to learn how the pricing works so that I can understand it better, but I am certain it is not inexpensive."
"With the current model of licensing, for my use cases, sometimes it's hard to convince the management and get budget approvals for it. It's expensive and you're not getting anything new. It's just a control, but in terms of risk, you are covering a big impact on the company. Improvement in the licensing prices is something I would want to have."
"With reducing the privileged account access, there has been a huge improvement. They are now bringing more accounts on a little at a time."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
