CyberArk manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Secures critical infrastructures with essential user session audit records
A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Thus far I can say technical support is excellent. We haven't had any issues or difficulties."
"Session recordings and timestamps are valuable features. They allow me to specifically select the time a particular command was executed, so I do not have to review the entire recording. I can click on events to determine where and when they happened."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"CyberArk probably has probably the best vault on the market because of the multiple layered security and each password getting its own encryption."
"It has helped us with our adoption with other teams, and it has also helped us to integrate it at the ground level."
"The solution is highly stable."
"For me, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager's most valuable features are password and session management."
"The most valuable feature is that it always provides flexibility, password quality and one-time user check-in and check-out."
"The solution has high support capability."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that they are open to connecting with any token. For example, a year ago, we were looking for a soft token, and we started to look for alternatives. They are open to connecting with any token that we looking for."
 

Cons

"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."
"Occasionally, there are lagging issues. Sometimes users have to re-login. When users copy passwords, there is sometimes a lag, so they have to log out and log in, but these are very rare cases."
"CyberArk has a lot on the privileged access side but they have to concentrate more on the application side as well."
"The only problem involves granting access to people who are authorized to view it."
"CyberArk PAM could greatly benefit from an under-the-hood update; integrating machine learning algorithms could provide predictive insights."
"There is a learning curve when it comes to planning out the deployment strategy, but once it is defined, it runs itself."
"CyberArk definitely needs to improve user experience and reduce complexity."
"The current process for accessing RDP through the CyberArk or administrative portal involves downloading an RDP file. This is inconvenient for users and problematic due to security restrictions that prevent accessing servers via downloaded RDP files."
"The user interface is not quite good and easy to use. There are a lot of menus, and the look and feel is not modern like a modern app."
"The tool needs to improve its cloud capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager seven out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Compared to other solutions, it is costly."
"The solution is very expensive and requires a license. We pay for an enterprise license."
"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
"I have heard from my leaders that CyberArk is costlier in terms of licensing. The support and maintenance are also costly. We use their premium support, but for the price we pay, we do not get the value."
"CyberArk is one of the best PAM solutions and one of the most expensive, but it works better than the others, so the pricing is fair."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
"This solution is expensive."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten. The tool's licensing is monthly."
