Centralized policies have strengthened zero trust controls and improved audit visibility
There are a few areas of Airlock Digital Application Control that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future. The first thing is that the new version release schedule is quite repetitive, deploying a new agent within a couple of months. This makes it difficult for us to keep in touch because we have a controlled environment, and everything must be done via change management. We cannot upgrade the server or stay up to date with the latest version all the time. Airlock Digital Application Control should release updates but also provide ample time for organizations to adapt to the latest version. The second area for improvement I think about is regarding the workflows. The workflows require careful tuning during initial rollout, especially in dynamic environments like what we have. My impression of the granular policy control offered by Airlock Digital Application Control is that it can still be improved. Granular policy control is much better for control and application. For metadata rules to work, all endpoints must be on a particular version or higher. Unfortunately, in our environment, we do not have all machines using the same client version, which becomes a problem. If you go to Airlock Digital Application Control, they have an answer that the best thing you can do is use the granular policy if you have all agents and endpoints on the same version. That is something we need to work upon. Granular policy is much better to control and apply, and this is my experience.

Strengthening financial services infrastructure by safeguarding and integrating with ecosystems
We use CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to complement a privilege access management solution in order to avoid golden ticket attacks and strengthen services against attacks. It serves as a complement to our asset management solution. The architecture of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is beneficial for integrating with all customer ecosystems; it's easy to deploy, and achieving that level of integration and control is more challenging with other solutions. The ability of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to safeguard our financial services infrastructure is very important, as we need to record actions on privileges in our information systems. Regarding the granularity of the managed controls in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, we have different levels of features to define compensations and capabilities, which help us verify configurations and access, ultimately keeping the safety of rights intact. Our initial challenge with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is to comply with Colombian regulations in the financial sector, particularly identifying users and managing password changes and rotations. We needed to certify the identities and provide necessary information for government investigations, if required. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very important for helping our organization meet compliance and regulatory requirements. We have to comply with international regulations such as SOC, but also with local regulations unique to the financial sector, which is crucial for us due to the high risks involved. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has helped us reduce the mean time to detect within our organization. That's our main goal. Regarding MTTD, the solution provides enough information to enhance our overall detection process. We have an 85% improvement in MTTD. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps ensure data privacy through strategies that manage information in real-time. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps save costs by avoiding risks and future expenses associated with security incidents. It's essential to communicate the value of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to users, as its controls help improve system security. My role at the company involves service and sales activities.

Cons

"Some of the vulnerabilities that are meant for CVEs specific to Airlock Digital Application Control need to be addressed in newer versions."
"In Airlock Digital Application Control, there are areas for improvement which, more specifically being a security tool, relate to the performance issues that end-user devices are experiencing because of the tool."
"The first thing is that the new version release schedule is quite repetitive, deploying a new agent within a couple of months, which makes it difficult for us to keep in touch because we have a controlled environment and everything must be done via change management."
"Airlock Digital Application Control has room for improvement in detecting and setting a standard environment when updates for programs are released."
"Performance could be better. We have a couple of problems with CyberArk right now. One of the problems is performance in our environment. Support also takes a long time to respond. If the user already has local admin rights, then I can't collect any events in the console from this device. There are also some options in CyberArk that are not working properly, and are not helpful in this case. I can't collect any information to create a proper policy for the device. I have to investigate everything manually, or even disable the local admin from the device. I can collect the events only after this, and it's very time consuming. In my case, it's a waste of resources."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."
"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."
"The product is expensive."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution."
"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."
"The tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
