Contractor at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Integrates well between AD and Unix, scalable, and easy to use
BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues. I recently received a new version a few weeks ago and it looks like they solved most of the problems. Some of the issues we had, lasted a very long time until they found a solution.

CyberArk manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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.
