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

"I have always found that CyberArk is a very tight, foolproof product compared to most other products available."

"The product is stable."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is entirely cloud-based, so no further upkeep is required."

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

"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 password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."

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

"It has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege. We've removed, at this point, close to 98 percent of the local administrative accounts on workstations. If there were an incident, it would stop at that point and we'd be able to know."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

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

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"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."

"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."

"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 Endpoint Privilege Manager is a perfect solution, but CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux has many issues. Another area for improvement in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, specifically for Windows, is that there's no way for you to check credential theft from a text file, such as a notepad file."

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

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution is very expensive."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

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

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

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

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

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

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

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

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."

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

"It is an expensive solution."

"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."

"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."

"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

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