MFA boosts protection and has blocking capabilities but dependency on other solutions complicates deployment

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. The agent may have problems syncing, which complicates deployment, especially when users leave the organization, however, agents remain licensed since the server still maintains licenses. Additionally, compared to other endpoint managers like Thycotic, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks recording capabilities, which limits its functionality for critical applications. A feature that records activity, even when bypassing CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, would be beneficial.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement

The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

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 feature is the ability to control users with admin rights. Even if developers and senior folks maintain their admin rights, we can still manage their activities."

"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."

"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."

"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."

"There are many valuable aspects of the product, but the most common feature is working with the privileges. The controls of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager influence the visibility into endpoints for my customers. It allows them to granularly manage controls to prevent some malicious activities on the endpoint machine."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."

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

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

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

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"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."

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

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

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."

"CyberArk has some performance issues. For example, servers could not handle the solution when we first took CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager."

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

"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."

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

"The solution is very expensive."

"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."

"CyberArk meets clients' need very spot-on. It covers everything customers ask for. As for improvements, honestly, the feedback's been really positive. I haven't heard any specific areas that need work."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."

"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."

"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."

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

"There could be more automation features for the solution."

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

"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."

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."

"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."

"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"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."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."

"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."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
