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.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution allows me to give access and privileges to each user individually"
"The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"We can do both server and endpoint protection."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its high performance, it's the best identity security platform. The security is good. It's easy to showcase the feature and capabilities and compare it with other competitors. It competes well with other solutions. Additionally, it is a complete solution."
"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."
"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."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has had a positive impact on my customers' security posture."
More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pros
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
More WALLIX Bastion pros
 

Cons

"It is hard to deal with technical support if you are not certified."
"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."
"One area that has room for improvement is in managing the credentials for network devices."
"The product's threat protection and defense capabilities need enhancement."
"We have had some major issues with the tool, but we have worked with the R&D teams and we have worked with support. There is room for improvement, especially on response times. But they're working on it and they're doing the best they can."
"The installation process is pretty difficult."
"Can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."
"The CyberArk team is working on a feature to identify devices without the Endpoint Privilege Manager running, which is currently missing."
More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager cons
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
More WALLIX Bastion cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"We pay about $17 per user."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."
More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager pricing and cost advice
