YB
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.
RJ
Senior Member Of Technical Staff at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Helps with compliance and improves operational flexibility
We have had both on-premises and SaaS models. The on-premise setup was a little difficult, but now that it has been moved to the SaaS model, everything is controlled by CyberArk. We just go and do our work. The initial on-premises setup took two weeks because it was an integrated effort. I had to spin up the servers and bring in the CyberArk Secrets Management resource to deploy the scripts. I then had to open networks and firewalls between CyberArk Secrets Management's on-premise servers and the application server. In the initial phase, it took two to three weeks, but it became easier when moving to the SaaS model. In terms of maintenance, it requires patching or upgrades, which happens one day in a month. If there is a failure, we have to roll back and try once again, which takes more time, but if everything goes smoothly, there is three to five hours of downtime.

"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"The granular controls of CyberArk Secrets Management are very niche in their development and very secure from the overall secret management perspective, offering high-level functionalities where we have control over user access, which can be tracked and monitored."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
 

Cons

"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"The product contains some bugs."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"We did not have a good experience with technical support because their numerous processes caused delays in engaging, leading to project delays or issues with production."
"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"CyberArk Secrets Management has a moderate pricing structure based on a per-tenant licensing model rather than a per-user account model like their PAM solution."
"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
