We have had both on-premises and SaaS models. The on-premise setup was a little difficult, but now that it has been moved to the SaaS model, everything is controlled by CyberArk. We just go and do our work. The initial on-premises setup took two weeks because it was an integrated effort. I had to spin up the servers and bring in the CyberArk Secrets Management resource to deploy the scripts. I then had to open networks and firewalls between CyberArk Secrets Management's on-premise servers and the application server. In the initial phase, it took two to three weeks, but it became easier when moving to the SaaS model. In terms of maintenance, it requires patching or upgrades, which happens one day in a month. If there is a failure, we have to roll back and try once again, which takes more time, but if everything goes smoothly, there is three to five hours of downtime.

With its extension, I can quickly access login information without opening a new browser window
Passportal's stability is okay. However, it goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else. I can only remember one or two outages with IT Glue. With Passportal, it gets frustrating when you need to reset a password for a client, and you have to put their global admin address in there because what you're doing requires admin privileges. But you can't get in there because Passportal isn't working, and the password might be a 48-character password. If it's down for five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes — that's too long. It's a real inconvenience. It doesn't happen all the time, but I've been at this job two months, and it's probably happened three or four times. I don't like this. I'm used to having it right at my fingertips. I need access now. With the influx of tickets coming in and time management, it needs to be like that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"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."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"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."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"Passportal has the advantage of also being a document management system."
"Passportal is very stable."
"I like Passportal's extensions; you can click the particular company you want and go through all the passwords and usernames associated with that company or the specific webpage you're on or their server or whatever, which is a whole lot faster because I don't have to open up a new browser or use my bookmark or anything like that."
 

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."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"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."
"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 tool is very good, but the commercialized training, which is paid, could be improved."
"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."
"In the future, I would like the ability to have diagrams, such as those created by Visio, available directly in Passportal."
"Passportal's stability is okay. However, it goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
"We pay the license fee monthly and the price is reasonable."
