Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights

There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

An easy-to-deploy and affordable tool for access control monitoring

If I consider that most of the users are getting connected from a remote level and take into consideration that industries prefer to go for SaaS-based solutions and multi-factor authentication, I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360. If ManageEngine PAM360 can introduce multi-factor authentication, then it would be great from a security aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."

"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to control users with admin rights. Even if developers and senior folks maintain their admin rights, we can still manage their activities."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them."

"What sets CyberArk apart is its continuous innovation, staying ahead of the competition."

"The solution is scalable."

"It doesn't affect operational efficiency. If you set everything correctly, the user doesn't notice that it is in the background."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros

"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."

"We can use it remotely as well."

"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

Cons

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager could be improved by simplifying the administration process, specifically when setting up policies and applications."

"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."

"There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies."

"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."

"The tool should be more user-friendly."

"The installation process is pretty difficult."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons

"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."

"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."

"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."

"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."

"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."

"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."

"The product's license is easy to procure."

"The tool is a bit pricey compared to its competitors. My company does work with competitors, but I don't have hands-on experience with other software. I've just done some comparisons."

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."

"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."

"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."

"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice

"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."

"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."

CyberArk

Comprehensive privileged access management solution
Privilege misuse is a top cybersecurity threat today that often results in expensive losses and can even cripple businesses. It's also one of the most popular attack vectors among hackers, because when successfully carried out, it provides free access to an enterprise's underbelly, often without raising any alarms until the damage is done.

ManageEngine PAM360 empowers enterprises looking to stay ahead of this growing risk with a robust privileged access management (PAM) program that ensures no privileged access pathway to mission-critical assets is left unmanaged, unknown, or unmonitored.

PAM360 is a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to incorporate PAM into their overall security operations. With PAM360's contextual integration capabilities, you can build a central console where different parts of your IT management system interconnect for deeper correlation of privileged access data and overall network data, facilitating meaningful inferences and quicker remedies.
