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

"It offers great performance."

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

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

"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."

"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."

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

"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."

Cons

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

"The solution is very expensive."

"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."

"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."

"The management of Privilege Access is not satisfactory."

"If you do not have certification, you cannot send a ticket; this makes dealing with technical support difficult."

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

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

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting or behavioral analysis limited. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions."

"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 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."

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

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

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

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."

"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 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."

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

"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."
