I've worked in BeyondTrust, also. They have Asian-based solutions, and it's not as heavy as CyberArk. Since I have been working with CyberArk for some time, I feel a little bit more comfortable with CyberArk. BeyondTrust is also not that bad. However, they did not have all the capabilities that CyberArk was offering at that time. That said, this was maybe four or five years ago. I haven't explored anything after that. I'm sure a lot of things have changed. There used to be IBM Privilege Identity Manager as well, but it's not there anymore. Saviynt has its own solution as well. Basically, there are multiple solutions there, however, CyberArk was definitely been our choice for Privilege Identity Manager.

The least privilege enforcement has helped us to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which has simplified our privileged access management environment and reduced the risk of unauthorized access. The privileged session management has helped us to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data. For example, we were able to detect and block a number of unauthorized attempts to access our financial systems. Auditing and reporting have helped us to comply with security regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Threat protection has helped us to detect and block malicious applications and scripts, which has helped to protect our endpoints from attacks. Centralized management has simplified administration and reduced the risk of errors. For example, we were able to easily deploy CyberArk EPM to all of our endpoints without any major problems.
