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

"Session monitoring includes recordings of all activities performed."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the vault. I am satisfied with the interface and the documentation."
"The product is an important security measure against credential theft. It ensures session isolation and password rotation including pushing passwords to the endpoints."
"It is an extremely scalable solution."
"We know when passwords will be expiring so we can force users to change their passwords, as well as requiring specific password requirements for length, complexity, etc."
"CyberArk has a lot of modules."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has been helpful in managing over 125,000 privileged accounts in a single environment for our client, and we have multiple CyberArk environments for different clients with different numbers of accounts."
"The password vault and session monitoring are useful."
"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."
"The product is quite good, and from my point of view, it can serve our requirements."
 

Cons

"The solution's architecture could be improved. It requires installation on four to five different servers. Each server has a purpose, but when you need to troubleshoot, it can be difficult because you need to access each of them. Reducing the number of servers would be helpful."
"More additional features as far as the REST is concerned, because we have something which was the predecessor to REST."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do."
"Its GUI is very confusing."
"If you are an administrator or architect, then the solution is kind of complicated, as it is mostly focused on the end user. So, they need to also focus on the people who are implementing it."
"There is room for improvement in the availability of custom connectors on the marketplace for this solution. Additionally, their services for the CICD pipeline and ease of integration could be improved."
"The deployment architecture, the ability to locate and change credentials and the stability need to be improved."
"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."
"The tool needs to improve its cloud capability."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is available at a high price"
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"It is in line with its competitors, but all such solutions cost too much money."
"Compared to other solutions, it is costly."
"Although CyberArk Privileged Access Management is expensive, its protection capabilities outweigh the cost."
"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."
"This solution is considered to be more expensive than others out there on the market today."
"The product’s pricing is feasible for enterprise customers. The pricing is expensive for smaller businesses. You need to pay additional costs for service implementation and local support."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten. The tool's licensing is monthly."
