Delivery Manager at Tech Mahindra Limited
Provides secure secret management with granular controls and professional support
The tool is very good, but the commercialized training, which is paid, could be improved. Regularizing those trainings as part of a global alliance between the customer, SI partner, and CyberArk would be more profitable, allowing relevant SMEs to be trained better. There are training courses available that sometimes provide coupons on a yearly basis. If those coupons increase from about 10 to 20 people, it would provide better opportunities for SI partners Tech Mahindra to train resources and gain visibility with customers. There are indeed paid training courses for partners, and while they shouldn't be entirely free, the coupons can make them free. Increasing those coupons would allow more resources to be trained rather than limiting them to just two or three.

Auditing enhances privileged account security with a fast deployment
The support for the PAM product is not very prompt. Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days. This process is slower compared to other products from the same manufacturer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"The granular controls of CyberArk Secrets Management are very niche in their development and very secure from the overall secret management perspective, offering high-level functionalities where we have control over user access, which can be tracked and monitored."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."
"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The most valuable feature would be the authorization for saving passwords, it is also very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The solution has a lot of great features that make tasks easier for technical people."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before."
"It is user-friendly, and someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
 

Cons

"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"We did not have a good experience with technical support because their numerous processes caused delays in engaging, leading to project delays or issues with production."
"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."
"The tool is very good, but the commercialized training, which is paid, could be improved."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"The product couldn’t make any notable change in our system, because of the complexity of cycle of the system."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly. When you search for a password, there are some things you can't edit from the search bar, so you have to go back to the main window and scroll through to edit them."
"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
"The product could be improved by lowering the price - it's expensive."
"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."
"Sometimes the person who doesn't actually use those passwords becomes responsible for the password."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
"CyberArk Secrets Management has a moderate pricing structure based on a per-tenant licensing model rather than a per-user account model like their PAM solution."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
