Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights

There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

An easy-to-deploy and affordable tool for access control monitoring

If I consider that most of the users are getting connected from a remote level and take into consideration that industries prefer to go for SaaS-based solutions and multi-factor authentication, I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360. If ManageEngine PAM360 can introduce multi-factor authentication, then it would be great from a security aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege. We've removed, at this point, close to 98 percent of the local administrative accounts on workstations. If there were an incident, it would stop at that point and we'd be able to know."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager enhances computer security by providing minimal access, effectively preventing ransomware attacks."

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its scalability."

"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."

"We have not had issues with CyberArk. It works very smoothly. We can do many things with CyberArk. It helps us to see exactly what is happening."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has significantly improved our security posture by preventing virus incidents and restricting users from downloading unwanted applications."

"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."

"It doesn't affect operational efficiency. If you set everything correctly, the user doesn't notice that it is in the background."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."

"We can use it remotely as well."

"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

Cons

"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."

"It is hard to deal with technical support if you are not certified."

"My recommendation for improvement is to add functionality for when users request access to an application. There's a pop-up UI, but it's not very customizable. I suggest creating a UI where we can write scripts or use SDKs to enhance it. This could automatically create tickets in a system like ServiceNow when users request an application. If a manager approves, we could automatically push policies to those users."

"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."

"There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies."

"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."

"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."

"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."

"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."

"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."

"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."

"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."

"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."

"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."
