Lasantha Wijesinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
We have visibility and control through real-time user behavior analytics
It took us some time to realize its benefits because there was a learning curve for us. It took us about a year to get our heads around this product and start effectively using it. It is a journey. It takes at least five years for any company to make this product very useful and reach maturity. It is not only the product's fault. The company needs to have a vision, and the company culture needs to go with it. Senior leadership needs to support the vision. You need to have lots of ingredients for success. If everything is in place, you will see success after one year. In the first year, it is a struggle for everybody. My company was bought by a bigger company, and they were very new to privileged access management. Everybody was struggling. The advice I would give is to have a good vision for privileged access management. You need dedicated teams, senior management support, and proper company policies and standards before implementing the solution. Start building knowledge slowly and avoid jumping into the deep end without preparation. I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager a nine out of ten.

Very good synchronization, good stability and good scalability
There are a few aspects of management that could be improved, however, I don't use them so much. It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Increased our insight into how privileged accounts are being used and distributed within our footprint."
"We are able to rotate credentials and have privileged account access."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The best feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is its core function: automatically managing and securing credentials."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault are password rotations and password encryptions."
"We are able to know who is accessing what and when; having accountability."
"Because we now have the ability to grant access to management utilities like DNS Manager, Sequel Studio, and MMC, in a secure fashion, without system admins being required to continually reenter various passwords that are stored who knows where, it has really made the system admin's job much easier. It has made the PSM's job much easier. It has made the auditor's job and the security team's job and the access manager's job significantly easier, because we're able to move much more quickly toward a role-based access management system, and that is really streamlining the whole onboarding/offboarding management process."
"We can make a policy that affects everybody instantly."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
 

Cons

"We have had some performance and stability issues. We have had instances where things weren't as they should be, however, we worked closely with the development support teams once the issues were escalated and managed to find either a resolution or a workaround to stabilize the solution."
"In the next release, they could simplify the setup and I would like some tasks added like file sharing. When a client connects to CyberArk and wants to put a file on the server, they cannot."
"The only problem involves granting access to people who are authorized to view it."
"The documentation is rather basic and it is missing many use cases."
"They are taking two to three days for resolution are too slow. Customers, including myself, do not want to wait this long for solutions."
"I would like to see improvement in the custom connector for integration with different devices."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could improve the integration with other solutions and ease of use. Additionally, there should be a feature to have remote connections without a VPN."
"The lead product has a slow process. There are some reports and requirements from CyberArk which are not readily available as an applicable solution. We have made consistent management requests in the logs."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is in line with its competitors, but all such solutions cost too much money."
"This solution is considered to be more expensive than others out there on the market today."
"Payments have to be made on a yearly basis toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"The solution is available at a high price"
"It is not a cheap solution. It is expensive as compared with other solutions. However, it is one of the best solutions in their domain."
"If you are looking at implementing this solution, buy the training and go to it."
"If you want a Ferrari, it will cost you. The solution is really nice, so it costs the client, but in the long run, it is very good. If you buy a solution that costs a lot to maintain because it is not stable, and you are frequently asking for consultant support, it costs more."
"I have heard from my leaders that CyberArk is costlier in terms of licensing. The support and maintenance are also costly. We use their premium support, but for the price we pay, we do not get the value."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
