"We have accomplished our security goals. We have two-factor authenticated and vaulted our important accounts, so people can't just steal stuff from us."
"For a while, there were individual IDs having privileged access. We wanted to restrict that. We implemented the solution so that it can be more of internal control. We can have session recordings happening and reduce our attacks."
"We have demoted a lot of domain admins and taken a lot of that away from people, giving it a shared account structure."
"CyberArk has helped us to identify, store, protect, and monitor the usage of privileged accounts."
"The most important feature is managing the credentials and implementing those policies which rotate the credentials. Session Manager is also key in not letting the users have access to those credentials. Instead, CyberArk actually manages everything by itself."
"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."
"I'm no longer the product owner for PAM, but I can say that the most useful feature is the vault functionality, which keeps all your passwords secure in a digital vault."
"Technical support has been very responsive in navigating challenges. It is very easy to open a ticket."
"The tool has many models. The tool also has a good cloud version. Also, the customers need not control any components on the solution side. The product's licensing model is also good since customers can choose a price that is most useful for them. The solution also supports password management for the users in your organization."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"Its technical support is good."
"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"The documentation is rather basic and it is missing many use cases."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"Initially, there was a lot of hiccups, because there were a lot of transitions due to manual installations."
"CyberArk has a lot on the privileged access side but they have to concentrate more on the application side as well."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"Sometimes the infrastructure team is hesitant to provide more resources."
"The initial setup was somewhat complex."
"The product documentation has to be more precise in certain aspects with explanations for functionality limitations along with reference material or screenshots."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"Its remote support feature needs improvement."
"The API is no good."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."

Hello Avinash, it all depends on the timeline and urgency of the project. If you need to deploy a PAM tool that focuses on standing privileges, stopping lateral movement, and incorporating Zero Standing Privileges as part of Zero Trust, then please consider looking at Remediant. I've worked for BeyondTrust and have gone up against the other big players such as Delinea, Centrify, CyberArk, and HashiCorp. They more or less all offer similar solutions, but looking at your current requirements, Remediant really excels in delivering a simple, yet very effective tool in a matter of days and weeks, not months and years.
