Featured Reviews

Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at MICRODYN AG
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.
Atul-Gujar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"Solution has a good UI."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"I appreciate the ease of use for support analysts."
"It provides an accountability to the individuals who are using it, knowing that it is audited and tracked."
"There are no issues with scalability. Our clients are very happy to use the product."
"It enables companies to automate password management on target systems gaining a more secure access management approach."
"It takes people out of the machine work of ensuring credentials remain up-to-date, and handles connection brokering such that human usage and credential management remain independent."
"The Vault offers great capabilities for structuring and accessing data."
"It supports lots of requirements in the privileged access management area."
"I love how easily we could operate within Password Vault and get things done. It was almost effortless."
 

Cons

"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"It should be easy to use for non-technical people. Its interface can be a bit difficult. Some parts of its interface are not very intuitive. Some of the controls are hidden, and instead of having a screen with all the controls for that account on it, you have to use menus and other similar things."
"The tool needs to improve its usage and interface. They need to have a modern and useful interface. I want the product to improve its integration capabilities as well since some of the integration features do not work always."
"As a customer, I might need a plugin for a specific product, or an application, and CyberArk might have already worked with some other client on it. There has to be some platform where it is available for everybody else to go and grab it, instead of my having to reinvent the wheel."
"They need to provide better training for the System Integrator."
"The PTA could be improved. Currently, companies often have multiple domains and sometimes it's difficult to implement CyberArk in this kind of infrastructure. For example, you can add CPM (Central Policy Manager) and PSM (Privileged Session Manager and PVWA (Password Vault Web Access) for access, but if you want to add PTA (Privileged Threat Analysis) to scan Vault logs, it is difficult because this component may be adding multiple domain environments."
"The architecture needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better automation in granting access, better tools, more efficient tools, to be able to customize the solution that CyberArk provides."
"Areas the product could be improved are in some of the reporting capabilities and how the reports are configured."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"Its price can be reduced."
"The solution is costly but we get what we pay for."
"It costs us around $200 per user."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
"Pricing and licensing depend on the environment."
"Compared to other solutions, it is costly."
