Lets you ensure relevant, compliant access in good time and with an audit trail, yet lacks clarity on MITRE ATT&CK
When I was a component owner for PAM's Privileged Threat Analytics (PTA) component, what I wanted was a clear mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a framework which has a comprehensive list of use cases. We reached out to the vendor and asked them how much coverage they have of the uses cases found on MITRE, which would have given us a better view of things while I was the product owner. Unfortunately they did not have the capability of mapping onto MITRE's framework at that time. PTA is essentially the monitoring interface of the broker (e.g. Privileged Access Management, the Vault, CPM, PSM, etc.), and it's where you can capture your broker bypass and perform related actions. For this reason, we thought that this kind of mapping would be required, but CyberArk informed us that they did not have the capability we had in mind with regard to MITRE ATT&CK. I am not sure what the situation is now, but it would definitely help to have that kind of alignment with one of the more well-known frameworks like MITRE. For CyberArk as a vendor, it would also help them to clearly spell out in which areas they have full functionality and in which ares they have partial or none. Of course, it also greatly benefits the customers when they're evaluating the product.

Very good synchronization, good stability and good scalability
We primarily use the solution for privacy for users The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful. There are a few aspects of management that could be improved, however, I don't use them so much. It would…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Helped us meet our standards and requirements to help us comply with industry standards and banking regulations."
"CPM helps keep the password policy up to date."
"The ability to monitor privileged accounts throughout the enterprises."
"I love how easily we could operate within Password Vault and get things done. It was almost effortless."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault are password rotations and password encryptions."
"On the customer accounts side, our account managers are responsive. If you ask them, they will get you whomever you need."
"We utilize PTA, and we are now integrating that into our risk management program so we can identify the uses of the vault which are outside of the norm, e.g., people accessing after hours. It has reduced the amount of time that we are looking through logs and audit logs."
"We like it for the ability to automatically change passwords. At least for my group, that's the best thing."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
 

Cons

"Upgrading the product is very difficult, so this could be an area for improvement."
"To get it to a ten it should give other possibilities to select if you could follow the keystrokes. It should have a flexibility with things where people can use it a lot faster."
"We had an issue with the Copy feature... Apparently, in version 10, that Copy feature does not work. You actually have to click Show and then copy the password from within Show and then paste it. We've had a million tickets and we had to figure out a workaround to it."
"I would prefer that this is a fully-managed service, rather than have to manage the software ourselves and keep it up to date."
"This product needs professional consulting services to onboard accounts effectively based user profiles."
"The lead product has a slow process. There are some reports and requirements from CyberArk which are not readily available as an applicable solution. We have made consistent management requests in the logs."
"The stability depends on the infrastructure it is installed on, which is important because CyberArk does not have the hardware appliance."
"The Vault's disaster recovery features need improvement."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is quite high and it could be improved."
"The main problem for the tool is its licensing. I work for a really big company. When you try to develop this as a service, usually you work with leverage teams who are formed with dozens of members. You might dedicate one FTE, or less, for something, e.g., an antivirus administrator. You might have half an FTE's effort dedicated to administering the antivirus, but then you have a team of about 30 users who might access that ticket. The problem is that CyberArk eliminated the possibility of concurrent users years ago. This is a big problem for companies who work with leverage teams. You need to pay for everyone. 40 licenses are used by 20 or 30 people. This is a big problem because licenses are not precisely cheap."
"The solution is very expensive and requires a license. We pay for an enterprise license."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"Pricing and licensing depend on the environment."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is a very expensive product."
"It costs us around $200 per user."
"Before we bought it, they were licensing each function individually, which got complicated and very expensive. When we decided to buy it, it was much more straightforward and still quite expensive, but it brings a lot of value and risk reduction to the organization."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
