Strengthening financial services infrastructure by safeguarding and integrating with ecosystems
We use CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to complement a privilege access management solution in order to avoid golden ticket attacks and strengthen services against attacks. It serves as a complement to our asset management solution. The architecture of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is beneficial for integrating with all customer ecosystems; it's easy to deploy, and achieving that level of integration and control is more challenging with other solutions. The ability of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to safeguard our financial services infrastructure is very important, as we need to record actions on privileges in our information systems. Regarding the granularity of the managed controls in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, we have different levels of features to define compensations and capabilities, which help us verify configurations and access, ultimately keeping the safety of rights intact. Our initial challenge with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is to comply with Colombian regulations in the financial sector, particularly identifying users and managing password changes and rotations. We needed to certify the identities and provide necessary information for government investigations, if required. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very important for helping our organization meet compliance and regulatory requirements. We have to comply with international regulations such as SOC, but also with local regulations unique to the financial sector, which is crucial for us due to the high risks involved. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has helped us reduce the mean time to detect within our organization. That's our main goal. Regarding MTTD, the solution provides enough information to enhance our overall detection process. We have an 85% improvement in MTTD. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps ensure data privacy through strategies that manage information in real-time. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps save costs by avoiding risks and future expenses associated with security incidents. It's essential to communicate the value of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to users, as its controls help improve system security. My role at the company involves service and sales activities.

Security has improved with monitored privileged sessions but the complex interface still needs work
I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic, but I have no clue about how much it costs. When I say it is not easy to use, I mean the interface is complex, but it might not be directly linked to the product; it might be linked to the way we implemented it in our context. The way we have to connect to a third Bastion and then launch another session bothers me. We also have some limitations, but I think this is linked to our context regarding how many times the session can stay open on the Windows session, which is not aligned with my needs. I am more of a promoter of other kinds of handling privileged access management with my use case, but it might not be linked to the tool; it is just because the implementation we made is not what I expect for my needs and it is not the way I want to work on my servers. In the past, I used the leader in PAM but cannot remember the name. I was more satisfied because the connection was more straightforward: I click on a button, make my authentication, and have my servers open, and this is the way I want it. The UI was the main reason why I thought the previous tool I was using was better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has had a positive impact on my customers' security posture."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager enhances computer security by providing minimal access, effectively preventing ransomware attacks."
"In terms of ROI, deploying CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has secured the infrastructure, which saves money, time, and resources."
"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."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment."
"The most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
"Technical support is very good; they have their own ticket system that is available for all customers and their system is already in different languages, for example, English, French, and, for us, Russian."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
 

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 is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution."
"Can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."
"While CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a great tool, I believe the functionality could be wider. If it could work not only with permissions but also involve pure EDR tasks or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, it would be great."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"CyberArk has some performance issues. For example, servers could not handle the solution when we first took CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager."
"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."
"Despite newer versions and functionalities, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks sufficient knowledgeable support staff, resulting in longer wait times for assistance."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's license is easy to procure."
"Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
"I believe it's quite a reasonably priced solution. It's not very common to use CyberArk because it's a niche solution, but customers who are willing to control administrative accounts are willing to pay this money."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."
"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
