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.

Is able to make several campaigns work in parallel, but the user interface needs improvement

It's mainly used by the cybersecurity team for Windows patching and deployment of some software solutions I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Users can scale the solution."

"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."

"We can do both server and endpoint protection."

"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to control users with admin rights. Even if developers and senior folks maintain their admin rights, we can still manage their activities."

"What sets CyberArk apart is its continuous innovation, staying ahead of the competition."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."

"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."

"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."

"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."

"The security features are very valuable."

Cons

"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."

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

"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."

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

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."

"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."

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

"It's an old product and has many areas that can be improved."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."

"They could improve the UI."

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."

"The solution lacks mobility."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium."

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."

"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."

"It is an expensive solution."

"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."

"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"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."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."

"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."

"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."

"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."

"The solution offers value for money."

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
