A compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see, although I can't run it across all systems because some of them don't have all the required configurations.
This solution exposes things that are going on. Here's an analogy: the first time you look at drop of water in a microscope, you don’t know what things are floating around. You see things that you want to investigate, but you don’t know whether they're good or bad. With this solution, a compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see. He sees both the good and the bad, makes a determination of whether they're indeed good or bad, and then takes the necessary steps or actions to take the good and get rid of the bad. In this way, it allows him to do better things with regard to security control, certificates, role management, and other role-based access.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With this solution, a compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see."
"I find the discovery feature, which includes credential management, session management, monitoring, and remediation within a session, to be very valuable."
"Overall, I feel that this is a good product and I recommend it."
"I found it valuable that CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be integrated with PTA (privileged threat analytics), and this means that it will tell you if there's a risk to the logins and signs of risk and if risky behavior is observed. It's a good feature. Another good feature is the CPM (central password manager) because it helps you rotate the passwords automatically without involving the admins. It can go and update the scheduled tasks and the services. At the same time, if there's an application where it cannot do all of these, CPM will trigger an automatic email to the application owners, telling them that they should go ahead and change the password. This allows you to manage the account password that CyberArk cannot manage, which helps mitigate the risk of old passwords, where the password gets compromised, and also allows you to manage the security of the domain."
"I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager nine out of ten."
"This product has placed a new culture in my company by making employees more aware of IT compliance and cyber security."
"I would recommend CyberArk Privileged Access Manager."
"The solution is stable."
"Its' quite stable."

Cons

"Unfortunately, right now it's just eye candy and, despite the ability for a compliance manager to see things he wouldn't otherwise see, it still hasn't provided the benefits we had hoped."
"I would like to see better usability for non-technical people."
"The technical support is very poor."
"There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a pretty complex solution."
"Customers also want CyberArk's pricing to be better so that they can implement it further and have more licenses."
"There is a learning curve when it comes to planning out the deployment strategy, but once it is defined, it runs itself."
"The web interface has come a long way, but the PrivateArk client seems clunky and not intuitive. It could use an update to be brought up to speed with the usability of PVWA."
"We're still struggling with the use of RDP through PSMs."
"CyberArk definitely needs to improve user experience and reduce complexity."
