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.

MFA boosts protection and has blocking capabilities but dependency on other solutions complicates deployment
The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks. The agent may have problems syncing, which complicates deployment, especially when users leave the organization, however, agents remain licensed since the server still maintains licenses. Additionally, compared to other endpoint managers like Thycotic, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks recording capabilities, which limits its functionality for critical applications. A feature that records activity, even when bypassing CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Airlock Digital Application Control brings many main benefits to the table that help improve the way the organization functions."
"Using the policy management tool provided by Airlock Digital Application Control is very beneficial and completely aligns with the compliance and governance expectations of the client."
"The product is stable."
"The password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its scalability."
"Our setup process is moving to the cloud, which is very good. It reduces complexity."
"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."
"This is the number one product for privilege account security."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"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."
"Some of the vulnerabilities that are meant for CVEs specific to Airlock Digital Application Control need to be addressed in newer versions."
"For an experienced system implementer it will take approximately one day. However, for somebody who is inexperienced it may take up to five days."
"What I would really like to see improved is the AIM (Application Identity Manager). I think that it could be simpler to use, and much more straight forward."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."
"A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good."
"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 should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be made more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"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."
"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."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."
"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
