Atul-Gujar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"CyberArk has helped us to identify, store, protect, and monitor the usage of privileged accounts."
"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."
"The password protection itself is the most important feature. It's something we didn't have before."
"We are maintaining compliance in PCI, SOX and HIPPA, which is a big thing. Auditors really like it, and it has made us stay compliant."
"CyberArk makes our environment more secure and prevents possible attacks by compromised accounts."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"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."
"The feature that I like the most is the Privileged Session Manager."
"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."
 

Cons

"My company always complains about the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager because it's too high."
"The installation process should be easier and more user-friendly so that you don't need to hire a third party to deploy it."
"I believe account discovery and rolling support need to be improved."
"Enhanced PSM support for Java based applications."
"The solution is too complicated to use and should be simplified. It took me a long time to understand how to use it. There is a lot that the solution can improve for the future."
"New functionalities and discovered bugs take longer to patch. We would greatly appreciate quicker development of security patches and bug corrections."
"The issue of technical support is crucial, as there are not many specialized partners available in Brazil to provide this service. While English language support is of good quality, there is a significant shortage of partners capable of meeting the demand locally."
"The Vault's disaster recovery features need improvement."
"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'm aware that the organization had purchased licensing for almost all of CyberArk's solutions including licensing for PTA, EPM, and the Application Identity Manager. But when it comes to PSM, this is one of the components where there's an additional charge for any extra PSMs that you want to deploy. I believe that there's some rider where the vendor has a bit of leeway to, at times, charge a premium on whatever additional services you may require above the board."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"It's expensive, certainly. But CyberArk is the leader in the market with regards to privileged access management. You pay a lot, but you are paying for the value that is being delivered."
"With reducing the privileged account access, there has been a huge improvement. They are now bringing more accounts on a little at a time."
"Compared to other solutions, it is costly."
"Although CyberArk Privileged Access Management is expensive, its protection capabilities outweigh the cost."
"This solution is considered to be more expensive than others out there on the market today."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten. The tool's licensing is monthly."
