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.

With a great support team and stability, the tool also offers scalability to its users
The initial setup was easy. One just needs to write the initial configuration. Then, in senhasegura's cloud applications, you can use it. I just deploy it in PoC environments or demo environments and not for production. Hence, it takes much less time than I imagine when comparing its deployment in production. I think it can be deployed in two or three days. My company has partnered with senhasegura. We just downloaded the main machine for virtual use. Then, we get the key to install it. Before, you just need to try the general configuration. Then, you will have the web applications ready. Then, you can just discover the accounts or any devices that you want to manage the accounts and manage the credentials.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automatic change of the password and Privileged Session Manager (PSM) are the most valuable features. With Privileged Session Manager, you can control the password management in a centralized way. You can activate these features in a session; the session isolation and recording. You apply the full intermediation principle. So, you must pass through CyberArk PAM to get access to the target system. You don't need to know the password, and everything that you do is registered and auditable. In this case, no one gets to touch the password directly. Also, you can implement detection and response behavior in case of a breach."
"The vault is almost a set-and-forget solution."
"The auditing and recording functionality along with stringent password-change policies and one-time password use has made compliance with customer requirements a much clearer and easily managed process."
"It is good, it fits our needs, and there is not anything else out in the market that can match it."
"CyberArk's capabilities and functionality outperform other solutions."
"The benefit is knowing where your accesses are, who has access to what, and it provides improved security around having your credentials locked down and rotated regularly."
"It is a scalable product."
"The password protection itself is the most important feature. It's something we didn't have before."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"CyberArk has two disadvantages; the first is that it's insanely expensive and the other is it's very complex."
"However, there is still room for improvement."
"CyberArk has a lot on the privileged access side but they have to concentrate more on the application side as well."
"The initial setup could be simpler but it may not be as effective."
"Perhaps improve the user registry integration. It is already fine, but a bit atypical."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in the report section."
"It's not a cheap application. It's very expensive."
"Areas the product could be improved are in some of the reporting capabilities and how the reports are configured."
"In Linux credential discovery was a bit hard, but after Senhasegura's latest update, it is much easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"It can be an expensive product."
"The price of CyberArk support could be a little bit less. Otherwise, pricing is fine."
"The pricing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is quite expensive, and the pricing varies from region to region. In APAC, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be obtained for less than in North America, according to my understanding."
"From a client perspective, CyberArk's pricing is fair but there is a significant increase each year. They should limit the price increase because this could potentially drive customers to other partners. Price changes should be at defined intervals. There should not be sudden jumps."
"With reducing the privileged account access, there has been a huge improvement. They are now bringing more accounts on a little at a time."
