Network and Security Engineer
Security monitoring has uncovered unauthorized devices and now protects client networks
I think the best feature of Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security is that it ensures only the authorized devices and users are authorized to prevent any potential breaches. I think that clear definition is very essential for a lot of networks because it helps us understand who should be there and who shouldn't be. For our clientele, we were able to discover a lot of unauthorized devices that were on their network. This first of all helped them remove a lot of potential security breaches and cleared the bandwidth of the network as well. I think this has been one of the biggest cases that we have found. For most of the clients where we have deployed it, this has always been a common occurrence because a lot of people enter the network and then you don't know who is there, who has the access, and so on. I think this is the very reason I said what I said earlier.

Provides full visibility into user activity and ensures secure end-to-end access across critical systems
In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I see room for improvement as I am working in the on-premises networks, and now we are also having the cloud-based PAM. So there, everything is maintained by the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager team, and we are only maintaining the PSM servers. So it is already upgraded from the on-premises network to the cloud network. If you ask me what we can implement beyond that, I just need a few minutes to think about what new things, because it is already an end-to-end security on-premises itself. Now, when it comes to PCloud, Privileged Cloud, it is more secure than the on-premises networks because most of the things are handled using the cloud itself. So it is an already upgraded version; we do not need to implement something new. But if you think in that way, we can have a chance to implement our things. If anything could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I think we could build a small agent AI in my team, we could give access to these logs—the Vault logs, PSM logs, and CPM logs. Whenever the system is going down, the AI will automatically check. If we actually implement agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, it will check the logs, and if any errors are coming, it automatically triggers alerts and gives the solution. That is the best improvement I can think of because these days, most things are done by agent AI. So if we also implement this agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we can add more features.

Pros

"I think the best feature of Armis Centrix for OT/IoT Security is that it ensures only the authorized devices and users are authorized to prevent any potential breaches."
"Thus far I can say technical support is excellent. We haven't had any issues or difficulties."
"The access control feature and privilege and role-based assignment are outstanding."
"CyberArk PAM gives us a single pane of glass to manage and secure identities across multiple environments."
"This is a stable, reasonably priced product, and it has good security features as well."
"Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
"CyberArk is a more secure product - much better than Thycotic."
"Technical support is very well aware of this."
"With CyberArk, we can meet our compliance requirements reducing security risks without introducing additional operational complexity."
 

Cons

"I'm not exactly sure how scalable it is if you're managing multiple locations, but I think it still has some potential for improvement for multiple locations."
"It can be made user-friendly, in the sense of the console is pretty outdated."
"When they took it to the cloud, they started cutting things out."
"Perhaps improve the user registry integration. User registry integration is atypical in the sense that the product creates a copy of the user inside the product itself."
"The turnaround time for technical support is lengthy."
"I think having a distributed architecture would certainly help this solution."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's deployment is complex for resources with little experience. Tech support needs to be improved as well based on quality and knowledge."
"Initial setup was complex and time-consuming but the later versions are a lot faster to implement."
"Their support can be better. Their SLA timings are higher than others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is in line with its competitors, but all such solutions cost too much money."
"The product's licensing is yearly. I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"It is not a cheap solution. It is expensive as compared with other solutions. However, it is one of the best solutions in their domain."
"With the current model of licensing, for my use cases, sometimes it's hard to convince the management and get budget approvals for it. It's expensive and you're not getting anything new. It's just a control, but in terms of risk, you are covering a big impact on the company. Improvement in the licensing prices is something I would want to have."
"The pricing is slightly higher compared to other solutions, but it is reasonable because there are better security features."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is expensive. There are no other fees other than the standard licensing fees."
