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.

Straightforward to scale, has good auto-fill capabilities, and allows us to share passwords without them being visible to other team members
It would be good to have some kind of best use cases, tips, and tricks on the platform. In terms of implementation, it took us a little bit longer to implement it, but on the whole, we're happy with the product. There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company. It could be a little bit cheaper.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are utilizing CyberArk to secure applications, credentials, and endpoints."
"I would recommend implementing CyberArk Privileged Access Manager as it is the best so far."
"By implementing CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we wanted to secure the password data and password accounts. We could see the benefits of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager immediately after we deployed it and started using it."
"The technical support for this solution is very good. If I was to rate it on a scale of one to five, I would give it a five."
"Password rotation, session recording & isolation and on-demand privileges."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"The Password Upload Utility tool makes it easier when setting up a Safe that contains multiple accounts and has cut down the amount of time that it takes to complete the task."
"The access control feature and privilege and role-based assignment are outstanding."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
 

Cons

"I would like to see is the policy export and import. When we expend, we do not want to just hand do a policy."
"One thing that could be improved is to create of a better alternative for fixing group policy fees. We currently use Microsoft, but they have introduced new policies that may not be compatible."
"Some aspects of the administration need improvement, though they have recently made improvements to the API. However, the management with the interface and configuration are not so user-friendly. It has not changed much during all the years that CyberArk has been on the market. The management part, like platform management as well as PSM connectors definition and management, could be improved, even if it has already been done with the API."
"The product is complex and requires extensive configuration."
"The solution should be able to mitigate internal threats"
"The price is high compared to Azure Key Vault. It's the most expensive solution."
"In terms of mean time to respond, I acknowledge variable response time. The L1 team is proactive, yet the vendor often pushes to close incidents swiftly, even when issues remain unresolved."
"There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a pretty complex solution."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"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."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, certainly. But CyberArk is the leader in the market with regards to privileged access management. You pay a lot, but you are paying for the value that is being delivered."
"CyberArk is very expensive and there are additional fees for add-ons."
"CyberArk is one of the best PAM solutions and one of the most expensive, but it works better than the others, so the pricing is fair."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could be less expensive."
"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."
"The SaaS version of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is very expensive, but the on-premises version is relative, e.g. depending on the size of the environment, it can be a bit pricey, but it's relatively okay compared to the others."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing for CyberArk is on the higher side compared to other Privileged Access Management products. Something should be done regarding enterprise licensing for long-standing customers."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
