An easy-to-setup solution with strong security features
My company resells the solution and operates similarly to SF Quality to provide consulting and managed service. Clients can access the solution through its operating system that is hosted on the Amazon cloud or via any web browser.  The solution's most valuable features are its password management…

Easy to secure, control, and monitor privileged access on highly critical networks
Our implementation is air-gapped from the outside world, and as such, we utilize a completely on-prem solution. Our highest risk is from privileged insiders, and CyberArk's answer to this challenge was the implementation of a Privileged Session Manager (PSM). With PSM, we were able to secure, control, and more importantly, monitor privileged access to highly critical network servers by using PSM to manage accounts and create detailed session audits and video recordings of all IT administrator privileged sessions on our most critical servers. The established sessions on the target systems are fully isolated and the privileged account credentials are never exposed to the end-users or their client applications and devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"They just released Marketplace, and they are constantly releasing updates to the components and adding new components, like Conjur. This is something that we ran into with Secret Server and DevOps, so it is already scalable, but becoming more so in the future."
"AIM has been a great help in automating password retrieval which removes the need for hard-coded credentials."
"We are able to rotate privileged user passwords to eliminate fraudulent use."
"Rather than multiple tools for maintaining regulatory compliance around passwords and privileged accounts, we have centralized as much as possible with CyberArk. This is now a one stop shop for end users to access their elevated credentials."
"The password protection itself is the most important feature. It's something we didn't have before."
"CyberArk has resulted in a massive increase in our security footprint."
"I find value in notifications from CyberArk when passwords fail verification and have other issues."
"Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
 

Cons

"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"The solution should be able to mitigate internal threats"
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
"PAM could be more user-friendly and CyberArk could update the documentation to include more real-world examples. You have to learn it yourself through trial and error. In particular, the online documentation should have more information about troubleshooting."
"This product needs professional consulting services to onboard accounts effectively based user profiles."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault can improve the distributive vault feature. Distributing the vault in multiple areas and multiple data centers should improve."
"The support services could act faster when people reach out to resolve issues."
"When I was a component owner for PAM's Privileged Threat Analytics (PTA) component, what I wanted was a clear mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a framework which has a comprehensive list of use cases. We reached out to the vendor and asked them how much coverage they have of the uses cases found on MITRE, which would have given us a better view of things while I was the product owner. Unfortunately they did not have the capability of mapping onto MITRE's framework at that time."
"The web interface has come a long way, but the PrivateArk client seems clunky and not intuitive. It could use an update to be brought up to speed with the usability of PVWA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"CyberArk is one of the best PAM solutions and one of the most expensive, but it works better than the others, so the pricing is fair."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could be less expensive."
"Our risk is definitely significantly lower. Also, our resources are low."
"It can be an expensive product."
"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
"There are additional features added to our CyberArk Privileged Access Manager license. For example, features that allow us to integrate into various kinds of platforms."
"The product's licensing is yearly. I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"Pricing and licensing depend on the environment."
