We performed a comparison between ARCON Privileged Access Management and CyberArk Privileged Access Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The deployment process for the solution was easy...The solution's technical support team was good."
"The user interface, overall, is really good. If I have some 20 servers in my ID, I can easily see for which servers I have read-only access, for which servers I have prompt-access, and for which servers I have server admin access."
"One standout feature of ARCON is its ability to resolve lagging issues, especially noticeable in Linux environments."
"It gives us a lot of comfort in terms of security level. Our infrastructure devices and servers are secured and nobody can have unauthorized access to them."
"With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds."
"For compliance, each change I do, in each of the servers, is clearly recorded. We recently faced an audit and this was an awesome feature. Even our auditor had praise for it saying, "This is really a good feature.""
"After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity."
"100% compliant and you don't have to maintain ID management for each and every user."
"CyberArk PAM can be easily automated."
"We are able to rotate credentials and have privileged account access."
"Password rotation is the most valuable feature"
"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."
"Lessens the risk with privileged access."
"It takes people out of the machine work of ensuring credentials remain up-to-date, and handles connection brokering such that human usage and credential management remain independent."
"The ability to develop and deploy applications with no stored secrets is very valuable."
"We are utilizing CyberArk to secure applications, credentials, and endpoints."
"The usability should be expanded to other browsers like Chrome and Firefox."
"Initially, there were some issues with .NET applications in Windows 10 systems."
"We would like to see support for privileged accounts used in web-based systems like Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway, VMware ESXI management tools, etc."
"The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets."
"They need to support all web browsers. At the moment it only supports Explorer, IE. They have to come up with a solution to support all browsers."
"It would be helpful to have a "Favorites" list. For example, if I have 100 servers but I only go to 10 servers frequently, a Favorites list would allow me to go through those ten servers only."
"The product is browser dependent. As of now, it only works on Internet Explorer from the client side. Admins cannot use any other browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) to access the client manager online."
"The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available."
"New functionalities and discovered bugs take longer to patch. We would greatly appreciate quicker development of security patches and bug corrections."
"It is very complex and difficult to set up the solution."
"I think having a distributed architecture would certainly help this solution."
"Initial setup is complex. Lots of architecture, lots of planning, and lots of education and training are needed."
"One of our current issues is a publishing issue. If we whitelist Google Chrome, all the events of Google Chrome should be gone. It is not happening."
"There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a pretty complex solution."
"The product could be easier to use. More work needs to be done on this aspect; it is not good enough yet. It also takes up a lot of server space. Sometimes we need to use up to seven servers."
"Sometimes the infrastructure team is hesitant to provide more resources."
