We have visibility and control through real-time user behavior analytics
It took us some time to realize its benefits because there was a learning curve for us. It took us about a year to get our heads around this product and start effectively using it. It is a journey. It takes at least five years for any company to make this product very useful and reach maturity. It is not only the product's fault. The company needs to have a vision, and the company culture needs to go with it. Senior leadership needs to support the vision. You need to have lots of ingredients for success. If everything is in place, you will see success after one year. In the first year, it is a struggle for everybody. My company was bought by a bigger company, and they were very new to privileged access management. Everybody was struggling. The advice I would give is to have a good vision for privileged access management. You need dedicated teams, senior management support, and proper company policies and standards before implementing the solution. Start building knowledge slowly and avoid jumping into the deep end without preparation. I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager a nine out of ten.

Helps me deal with a litany of access credentials, but the user interface is not well structured

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If any intruder gets inside, they would not be able to move around nor do lateral movements. It minimize any attack problems within our network."
"We like it for the ability to automatically change passwords. At least for my group, that's the best thing."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has helped our organization remain compliant in the privileged access management space."
"Automatic password management, which will automatically change passwords based on compliance requirements."
"I would recommend CyberArk Privileged Access Manager."
"Our go-to solution for securing against the pass the hash attack vector and auditing privileged account usage."
"Our most valuable features would probably be key rotation, the SKM or SSH key manager, and account discovery."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has saved us 60% to 70% of our cost."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"Customers also want CyberArk's pricing to be better so that they can implement it further and have more licenses."
"We found a lot of errors during the initial setup. They should work to improve the implementation experience and to remove errors from the process."
"I feel that the customization complexity requires training for new users. When we are implementing it, it is quite tricky."
"Maintaining the product is challenging. Upgrades require a lot of resources, as it impacts the entire organization. For example, upgrading components like the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) and the vault is time-consuming and difficult. In the long term, I would like to see these processes simplified, especially for on-premise installations."
"There is some stuff that we still have not fully integrated, which is our AIM solution. We are having all types of issues with it. I have been working with Level 3 support on it, but otherwise, from a functionality perspective, everything has been working except for the AIM solution."
"The product documentation has to be more precise in certain aspects with explanations for functionality limitations along with reference material or screenshots."
"The technical support is very poor."
"CyberArk PAM could greatly benefit from an under-the-hood update; integrating machine learning algorithms could provide predictive insights."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can be an expensive product."
"It costs us around $200 per user."
"Our risk is definitely significantly lower. Also, our resources are low."
"The cost is high compared to other products."
"Its price can be reduced."
"Pricing and licensing depend on the environment."
"Its price is high. I have also worked with Delinea. CyberArk is comparatively expensive compared to other PAM solutions, such as Delinea, especially during renewal."
"I believe that this solution is priced well. It's the market leader and I think that it's the best solution."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
