Foolproof and good for controlling access but can be expensive
I've worked in BeyondTrust, also. They have Asian-based solutions, and it's not as heavy as CyberArk. Since I have been working with CyberArk for some time, I feel a little bit more comfortable with CyberArk. BeyondTrust is also not that bad. However, they did not have all the capabilities that CyberArk was offering at that time. That said, this was maybe four or five years ago. I haven't explored anything after that. I'm sure a lot of things have changed. There used to be IBM Privilege Identity Manager as well, but it's not there anymore. Saviynt has its own solution as well. Basically, there are multiple solutions there, however, CyberArk was definitely been our choice for Privilege Identity Manager.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

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."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its high performance, it's the best identity security platform. The security is good. It's easy to showcase the feature and capabilities and compare it with other competitors. It competes well with other solutions. Additionally, it is a complete solution."
"The biggest benefit of CyberArk EPM for our customers is control over privileged access for endpoints. Endpoints are often the starting point for attackers to enter and move within a network. CyberArk EPM bridges the gap between security and operations teams. Operations teams are happy because work isn't stopped due to admin rights issues, while security teams are satisfied that full admin rights aren't given to all users."
"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
"The password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."
"I have always found that CyberArk is a very tight, foolproof product compared to most other products available."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very easy to manage, which I like. The solution also has a dashboard where you can see which software is suspicious, which I find valuable."
"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"The most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security include its protection capabilities such as DNS and endpoint security, DNS threat prevention, as well as advanced threat prevention."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
"The solution is reliable."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"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."
"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."
"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."
"The tool should be more user-friendly."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."
"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."
"The price of the solution should improve."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"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."
"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."
"No comment."
"Annual license fee is good"
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
