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.

Helps to build invoices but needs to improve the issue with bugs
I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors.  The tool has bugs and breaks down at times.  I have been using Zoho Vault for a long time.  I would rate the tool's stability a seven out of ten.  I would rate Zoho Vault's scalability a seven out of ten. My company has 20-30 users…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With CyberArk, it allows us to streamline and create a workflow which allows them to automatically log into CyberArk, grab the credentials that they want, and it automatically sends their approval to their manager, who can click a couple buttons, approve, and the user is able to get their credentials."
"Initial setup was very easy; we started integrating systems and providing access to systems within a few days."
"We are utilizing CyberArk to secure applications, credentials, and endpoints."
"It is a central repository. Therefore, if someone needs to access a server, then they go through CyberArk PAM. It provides a secure way to do this and CyberArk PAM records everything. For example, if you are connecting to a Linux server, then once you get into the Linux server and if it is integrated with CyberArk, it will automatically start recording everything that is being done. In most banks, seeing the recordings is very useful. If there are any gaps or something has happened which shouldn't have happened, then we can check the logs and videos. So, it gives security, in a robust manner, to the organization."
"Automates password management to remove the human chain weakness."
"The users have the ability to rotate passwords on a daily basis with a Reconcile Account. Or, if they want to do one-time password checkouts, we can manage those, check in, check out. I like the flexibility of the changing of the password, specifically."
"CyberArk has a lot of modules."
"Customer support has been very helpful and responsive."
"I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors."
 

Cons

"It could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I encounter issues, and I do not know what the issue is."
"The web interface has come a long way, but the PrivateArk client seems clunky and not intuitive. It could use an update to be brought up to speed with the usability of PVWA."
"The implementation and integration process is very, very complex."
"The major pain point that we have is the capacity of CyberArk due to the sheer volume of NPAs that we are managing."
"The authentication port is available in CyberArk Alero but not Fortinet products."
"We do see performance issues with PSM which gets very busy, and we just keep scaling the number of PSMs."
"It should be easy to use for non-technical people. Its interface can be a bit difficult."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"The tool has bugs and breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Network and security licenses are currently being managed by other outsource vendors, so they are facing some type of problems in the digital aspect."
"I would rate CyberArk's pricing a nine out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the market, but it's worth it."
"No, I do not have any advice on the price of the product."
"Before we bought it, they were licensing each function individually, which got complicated and very expensive. When we decided to buy it, it was much more straightforward and still quite expensive, but it brings a lot of value and risk reduction to the organization."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I would rate the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager seven out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"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."
"I do not have any opinions to add about the pricing of the product."
"Zoho Vault is cheap."
