Offers integrated solutions and expands its capabilities through strategic acquisitions

Setting up CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager was challenging for me due to the involvement of multiple components. The process required a good understanding of each component and its configuration. It is not a straightforward setup, and familiarity with the system is crucial to ensure everything is correctly configured. I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a six out of ten. The deployment of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager takes about a day. It is not as quick as some Linux, which can be up and running in just a couple of hours. CyberArk's deployment is more complex due to the various components that need to be set up and validated to ensure they work together seamlessly. Once the deployment is complete, you can then proceed with tasks like account onboarding.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is the number one product for privilege account security."

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

"The solution's technical support is good."

"Users can scale the solution."

"The most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."

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

"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."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

Cons

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

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

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

"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."

"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."

"One area that has room for improvement is in managing the credentials for network devices."

"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."

"The price of the solution should improve."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

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

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