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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."

"The product is stable."

"We can do both server and endpoint protection."

"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"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."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

"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."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"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."

"We have had some major issues with the tool, but we have worked with the R&D teams and we have worked with support. There is room for improvement, especially on response times. But they're working on it and they're doing the best they can."

"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."

"The tool should be more user-friendly."

"The installation process is pretty difficult."

"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."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is an expensive solution."

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."

"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."

"We pay about $17 per user."

"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."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice
