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 solution's technical support is good."

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

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

"The solution allows me to give access and privileges to each user individually"

"It allows whitelisting."

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

"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."

"We were able to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which helped to simplify our privileged access management environment."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

Cons

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

"Despite newer versions and functionalities, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks sufficient knowledgeable support staff, resulting in longer wait times for assistance."

"The solution can be complex to use at times."

"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."

"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."

"The solution's pricing could be better."

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's license is easy to procure."

"We pay about $17 per user."

"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."

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

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

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

"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."

"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
