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

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

"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."

"This is the number one product for privilege account security."

"The features I find most valuable are the endpoint privilege capabilities, which provide automatic protection to our IT environment."

"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."

"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."

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

"The product is very flexible"

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

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

"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."

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

"The security features are very valuable."

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

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

"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"Can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."

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

"They need much better integration with Azure AD."

"I would rate their customer service a six out of ten. The reason for this rating is delayed responses."

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

"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."

"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."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."

"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

"The solution lacks mobility."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."

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

"The product's license is easy to procure."

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

"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."

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

"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."

"We pay about $17 per user."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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 is higher than some competitors in the market."

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

"The solution offers value for money."
