Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights

There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

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

"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."

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

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) 's most valuable feature is its ability to manage user application privileges and protect against ransomware attacks by controlling access to specific files and applications."

"The product is very flexible"

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager enhances computer security by providing minimal access, effectively preventing ransomware attacks."

"It allows whitelisting."

"It doesn't affect operational efficiency. If you set everything correctly, the user doesn't notice that it is in the background."

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."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

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

"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."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"It is hard to deal with technical support if you are not certified."

"The management of Privilege Access is not satisfactory."

"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."

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

"It's an old product and has many areas that can be improved."

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

"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."

"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

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

"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."

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

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

"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."

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

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

"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

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

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

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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 pricing is comparable to that of other products."

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

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