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.

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 feature is that it always provides flexibility, password quality and one-time user check-in and check-out."
"It is very simple to use."
"Comparing it to other providers, Cyberark provides a more user-friendly environment with many more features and benefits."
"The regulation of accounts is by far the most needed and valuable part of the application."
"The PSM is excellent and the ability to write your own connectors and plugins is invaluable as far as flexibility goes."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage many accounts and broker connections between devices without needing to know passwords."
"CyberArk probably has probably the best vault on the market because of the multiple layered security and each password getting its own encryption."
"It is a great product when it comes to security, and from the security point of view, I would advise a new user to use this tool and deploy it in your environment since the security is unbeatable."
"The solution is easy to use, the performance has been good, the integration capabilities have been good, and it is very stable and quite secure."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members, and the auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature; it works really well, and the ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."

Cons

"Better search functionality in the EPM console. It becomes difficult to search lengthy policies for specific items."
"We require IAM (identify and access management) capability at the administrator level because we need more identification."
"The product should be improved in order to support more platforms."
"The PTA could be improved. Currently, companies often have multiple domains and sometimes it's difficult to implement CyberArk in this kind of infrastructure. For example, you can add CPM (Central Policy Manager) and PSM (Privileged Session Manager and PVWA (Password Vault Web Access) for access, but if you want to add PTA (Privileged Threat Analysis) to scan Vault logs, it is difficult because this component may be adding multiple domain environments."
"Its implementation was very complex. It needs different servers."
"When something comes out, it's generally airtight and works as advertised. However, sometimes they are a little bit slow to keep up with what's coming out. In 2017, for example, they released support for Windows Server 2016, which had been out for a year or so."
"The tool's UI has bugs and lags. It needs to be improved. The deployment process can be complex due to multiple components for various functionalities, each requiring separate infrastructure management. To simplify this process, consolidating all these components into a single platform could be beneficial. The product's pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"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."
"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

"I haven't seen the numbers. I know it is not cheap, but I don't know what it is. I would rate it a six out of ten in terms of pricing. It is definitely more expensive than the other product, but it also provides more functionality, and it is modular too. So, we pay for the functionality we're actually going to use, and that's nice."
"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."
"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."
"It's not a cheap application. It's very expensive."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is expensive. There are no other fees other than the standard licensing fees."
"This solution is expensive."
"It can be an expensive product."
"The solution is available at a high price"
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
