Lasantha Wijesinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
We have visibility and control through real-time user behavior analytics
It took us some time to realize its benefits because there was a learning curve for us. It took us about a year to get our heads around this product and start effectively using it. It is a journey. It takes at least five years for any company to make this product very useful and reach maturity. It is not only the product's fault. The company needs to have a vision, and the company culture needs to go with it. Senior leadership needs to support the vision. You need to have lots of ingredients for success. If everything is in place, you will see success after one year. In the first year, it is a struggle for everybody. My company was bought by a bigger company, and they were very new to privileged access management. Everybody was struggling. The advice I would give is to have a good vision for privileged access management. You need dedicated teams, senior management support, and proper company policies and standards before implementing the solution. Start building knowledge slowly and avoid jumping into the deep end without preparation. I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager a nine out of ten.

Streamlined access management through integration and simplified setup
Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers. It integrates well with single sign-on (SSO) and Ansible Playbooks, allowing me to manage inventories easily. Teleport provides a straightforward setup process with a single command line, making it easier to manage the onboarding and offboarding of team members.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The AI capabilities, including advanced threat detection features, are very helpful for us. They reduce human effort and errors, allowing us to quickly identify and respond to threats."
"The whole concept of Zero Trust and implementing it with CyberArk, which somewhat adheres to the 'never trust, always verify' principle, is very valuable. I really appreciate this aspect. Moreover, the just-in-time access is impressive, allowing access for a specific time."
"The established sessions on the target systems are fully isolated and the privileged account credentials are never exposed to the end-users or their client applications and devices."
"It is a central repository. Therefore, if someone needs to access a server, then they go through CyberArk PAM. It provides a secure way to do this and CyberArk PAM records everything. For example, if you are connecting to a Linux server, then once you get into the Linux server and if it is integrated with CyberArk, it will automatically start recording everything that is being done. In most banks, seeing the recordings is very useful. If there are any gaps or something has happened which shouldn't have happened, then we can check the logs and videos. So, it gives security, in a robust manner, to the organization."
"One of the best features of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the capability of Privileged Session Manager (PSM) because it provides visibility into user activities, audit ability, and traceability."
"It has a lot of good tools, including everything we need."
"Customer support has been very helpful and responsive."
"It allows users to self-provision access to the accounts that they need."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
 

Cons

"Areas the product could be improved are in some of the reporting capabilities and how the reports are configured."
"The stability depends on the infrastructure it is installed on, which is important because CyberArk does not have the hardware appliance."
"There are some options in the web portal where they can improve the user experience. For example, in remote, there is a parameter called 'access to remote machine.' When we put host names in that field, we are not able to search it. It"
"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."
"CyberArk reporting is notoriously poor, offering about 5 reports out of the box. I am certified in Delinea, which includes 60 reports plus a custom report generator out of the box. Improved reporting would be beneficial."
"The installation process should be easier and more user-friendly so that you don't need to hire a third party to deploy it."
"Customers also want CyberArk's pricing to be better so that they can implement it further and have more licenses."
"We have had some performance and stability issues. We have had instances where things weren't as they should be, however, we worked closely with the development support teams once the issues were escalated and managed to find either a resolution or a workaround to stabilize the solution."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is costly but we get what we pay for."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is expensive. There are no other fees other than the standard licensing fees."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is perceived to be somewhat overpriced compared to similar market products. It is a little bit overvalued. It could come down a little bit for my liking. However, the industry-leading reputation and the quality of service justify the high price point to some extent."
"I focus more on the technical side, but I hear customers say that if CyberArk was more affordable, they might have acquired more licenses. Some clients consider alternative solutions due to pricing concerns."
"Pricing and licensing depend on the environment."
"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."
"With reducing the privileged account access, there has been a huge improvement. They are now bringing more accounts on a little at a time."
"There are additional features added to our CyberArk Privileged Access Manager license. For example, features that allow us to integrate into various kinds of platforms."
