Provides full visibility into user activity and ensures secure end-to-end access across critical systems
In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I see room for improvement as I am working in the on-premises networks, and now we are also having the cloud-based PAM. So there, everything is maintained by the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager team, and we are only maintaining the PSM servers. So it is already upgraded from the on-premises network to the cloud network. If you ask me what we can implement beyond that, I just need a few minutes to think about what new things, because it is already an end-to-end security on-premises itself. Now, when it comes to PCloud, Privileged Cloud, it is more secure than the on-premises networks because most of the things are handled using the cloud itself. So it is an already upgraded version; we do not need to implement something new. But if you think in that way, we can have a chance to implement our things. If anything could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I think we could build a small agent AI in my team, we could give access to these logs—the Vault logs, PSM logs, and CPM logs. Whenever the system is going down, the AI will automatically check. If we actually implement agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, it will check the logs, and if any errors are coming, it automatically triggers alerts and gives the solution. That is the best improvement I can think of because these days, most things are done by agent AI. So if we also implement this agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we can add more features.

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

"Compared to other products, CyberArk is extremely easy to install and configure."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is privileged threat analytics."
"CyberArk PAS provides isolated and recorded sessions for third-party/outsourced admin access."
"We primarily use this product for privileged identity management, restricting privileged IDs, and governance."
"Initial setup was very easy; we started integrating systems and providing access to systems within a few days."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Regardless it's a good solution, it works, and the bank is happy with it."
"CyberArk has been the most stable platform I have ever worked on and our redundancies allow for 100% uptime."
"I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors."
 

Cons

"The price is high compared to Azure Key Vault. It's the most expensive solution."
"I would say there are scalability issues. After the solution is deployed, resizing it is difficult."
"The tool’s pricing and scalability can be better."
"CyberArk lacks the following functions for a better IAM like solution: - Provision accounts for systems and directories. - Create access to the systems. - Monitor if any new account has been created into the system. - Better GUI for the end-user and also for administrators."
"I think having a distributed architecture would certainly help this solution."
"They can do a better job in the PSM space."
"Although it's highly configurable, the user interface could use a do-over."
"Sometimes, they are a hindrance, when you know you have been through the issue again, and they want to gather the same log files, start from the basics, and we already know we are past that."
"The tool has bugs and breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."
"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."
"CyberArk provides all the features bundled. This is compared to other vendors who provide them as a different license for each functionality."
"Since CyberArk is at the top of the Gartner list, the cost is indeed on the higher side, but customers must discern which entities are essential to purchase. They should weigh the cost against the quality received."
"If you want a Ferrari, it will cost you. The solution is really nice, so it costs the client, but in the long run, it is very good. If you buy a solution that costs a lot to maintain because it is not stable, and you are frequently asking for consultant support, it costs more."
"It's not a cheap application. It's very expensive."
"It costs us around $200 per user."
"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."
"Zoho Vault is cheap."
