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

"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 solution has high support capability."
"The product is quite good, and from my point of view, it can serve our requirements."
"I would recommend implementing CyberArk Privileged Access Manager as it is the best so far."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is very powerful and customizable."
"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 PSM is excellent and the ability to write your own connectors and plugins is invaluable as far as flexibility goes."
"The feature that I like the most is the Privileged Session Manager. It offers session recordings, logging, and tracking of user workstreams."
"The most valuable feature is the special management. It records the activity and the actions that we use for auditing."
"I love the ability to customize the passwords: the forbidden characters, the length of the password, the number of capital, lowercase, and special characters. You can customize the password so that it tailor fits, for example, mainframes that can't have more than eight characters. You can say, "I want a random password that doesn't have these special characters, but it is exactly eight characters," so that it doesn't throw errors."
"It is one of the best solutions in the market, and ever since I started using this solution, there has not been any compromise when it comes to our lab."
 

Cons

"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."
"They can do a better job in the PSM space."
"I would like to see is the policy export and import. When we expend, we do not want to just hand do a policy."
"Integration of this tool with SAML is a problem, as there is a bug."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Their support can be better. Their SLA timings are higher than others."
"The installation is not straightforward. It's complex."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do. I know if you do that, you add more knobs and dials to deal with, but that's just my personal approach: granular access."
"Many of the infrastructure folks who use the product dislike it because it complicates their workflow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten. The tool's licensing is monthly."
"It is not a cheap solution. It is expensive as compared with other solutions. However, it is one of the best solutions in their domain."
"Although CyberArk Privileged Access Management is expensive, its protection capabilities outweigh the cost."
"They have two types of licensing: purchase and subscription. You have to pay for each admin user, such as Microsoft admin, mail admin, database admin, etc."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"No, I do not have any advice on the price of the product."
"There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"CyberArk provides all the features bundled. This is compared to other vendors who provide them as a different license for each functionality."
