Offers integrated solutions and expands its capabilities through strategic acquisitions
Setting up CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager was challenging for me due to the involvement of multiple components. The process required a good understanding of each component and its configuration. It is not a straightforward setup, and familiarity with the system is crucial to ensure everything is correctly configured. I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a six out of ten. The deployment of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager takes about a day. It is not as quick as some Linux, which can be up and running in just a couple of hours. CyberArk's deployment is more complex due to the various components that need to be set up and validated to ensure they work together seamlessly. Once the deployment is complete, you can then proceed with tasks like account onboarding.

Effective for password rotation policies triggered by audit requirements, it helps maintain compliance standards and seamless integration with third-party tools
The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications. Additionally, working in the finance department, we are heavily focused on enhancing audit reporting and compliance. So, the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) capabilities of Delinea Secret Server have also been crucial for us. We implemented a custom reporting system that can automatically send reports to auditors daily, weekly, or according to your organization's needs. We also upgraded the audit role within Secret Server, allowing auditors to access and analyze the reports directly. Additionally, Secret Server provides comprehensive logging capabilities. Auditors can see what data users access, their access levels, and their activities, including check-in and check-out times. Furthermore, Secret Server helped us manage privileged, elevated access, which we call "K2K." As the lead for this project, I could identify users with the highest access levels and implement specific policies to monitor their activity on servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment. That means you can delete the local admins and grant them proper privileges with the console. So, they will get proper permissions for applications they need, but we don't have to do it. In the domain where we don't have control, the user can only do specified actions, but not all of them."
"I have always found that CyberArk is a very tight, foolproof product compared to most other products available."
"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."
"Users can scale the solution."
"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."
"The tool is an endpoint management system. It monitors everything a standard user does and helps elevate privileges when necessary for advanced users. It keeps an auditable trail of all activities. Practically, it stops and blocks potentially hazardous user behavior, whether intentional or unintentional. Certain companies must use endpoint management software because of national or international rules or ISO norms."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) 's most valuable feature is its ability to manage user application privileges and protect against ransomware attacks by controlling access to specific files and applications."
"The solution allows me to give access and privileges to each user individually"
"Technical support is pretty good."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"I like that it is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities."
"What I like best about this product is the interface."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution should improve."
"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."
"The tool should be more user-friendly."
"One area that has room for improvement is in managing the credentials for network devices."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
"It's an old product and has many areas that can be improved."
"CyberArk meets clients' need very spot-on. It covers everything customers ask for. As for improvements, honestly, the feedback's been really positive. I haven't heard any specific areas that need work."
"The installation process is pretty difficult."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's license is easy to procure."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"In the Nigerian market, the adoption of Delinea depends largely on an organization's budget. If they have the financial capacity, they might consider Delinea as a viable option."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
