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.

Cons

"The management of Privilege Access is not satisfactory."

"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."

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

"They need much better integration with Azure AD."

"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."

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

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

"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"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."

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"The solution can give a lot of false positives."

"The reporting could be improved."

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

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

"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."

More Tanium cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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