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.

On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved. For example, when I export any data, there are only 50 columns available. What if there were more columns? Nozomi Networks does not provide that data, so I have to go to the query section. The AI is currently useful for writing queries in English that are converted into their coding language for queries. Sometimes it provides the correct data, and sometimes it does not understand the request. From my attempts, I would say 50 percent of the time it has given me the proper data, and 50 percent of the time it might need improvement. Every day or week, new threat intelligence and AI upgrades are being released for Vantage, and all those upgrades are being implemented. Things are getting better, but I believe there are areas of improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides the broadest point of view for privileged access management solutions in the market."
"Session monitoring includes recordings of all activities performed."
"I'm no longer the product owner for PAM, but I can say that the most useful feature is the vault functionality, which keeps all your passwords secure in a digital vault."
"CyberArk has resulted in a massive increase in our security footprint."
"With CyberArk, it allows us to streamline and create a workflow which allows them to automatically log into CyberArk, grab the credentials that they want, and it automatically sends their approval to their manager, who can click a couple buttons, approve, and the user is able to get their credentials."
"I really like the PTA (Privileged Threat Analytics). I find this the best feature."
"It supports lots of requirements in the privileged access management area."
"Password Vault is probably the top product in that space, and it's a monster to implement, but CyberArk is great at what they do."
"The feature I like best is its stability."
"I believe it is the best."
"Provides security for our operational technology environment for OT and IoT."
"The best feature of Nozomi Networks is that it has built OT-oriented protocols such as OPC UA, DNP3, Modbus, and Siemens S7, and for these protocols, Nozomi Networks identifies them very perfectly."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"The most valuable features of Nozomi Networks are the visibility of OT protocols and the versatility in finding the details of the assets feeding the tool."
"Nozomi Networks has the best AI-based detection and intrusion detection solution, as it is very robust, easy to deploy, and easy to use with a very user-friendly GUI and good support in terms of product and after-sales support."
"This is a good product and I definitely recommend it."
 

Cons

"Initial setup is complex. Lots of architecture, lots of planning, and lots of education and training are needed."
"It should be easy to use for non-technical people. Its interface can be a bit difficult. Some parts of its interface are not very intuitive. Some of the controls are hidden, and instead of having a screen with all the controls for that account on it, you have to use menus and other similar things."
"Their support can be better. Their SLA timings are higher than others."
"I'm not a fan of technical support with CyberArk. It's like jumping through red tape and hoops."
"If you don't know the product well, it might not be easy to set up, because CyberArk has several modules."
"The initial setup of CyberArk is a challenge if you do not have prior experience with it."
"It would be good to have integrations with other tools and firewalls, such as Zscaler and CrowdStrike. Although I am not fully aware of recent updates, more cross-platform integration would be valuable. A SOC analyst would like to have centralized access in terms of information flowing in even for privileged access management. They would like to have control over everything instead of opening four to five tabs for different sorts of information."
"If we actually implement agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, it will check the logs, and if any errors are coming, it automatically triggers alerts and gives the solution."
"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"Regarding the functionality of Nozomi Networks, the query syntax is very complicated. The syntax of the queries is very complex, so sometimes you will not get what you want."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"Proof of concept could be improved. It could be more tangible to the customer and the end users to have a video presentation or something like that."
"It should support more programmable logic controllers (PLCs)."
"The solution should include an integration library."
"On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I hope to learn how the pricing works so that I can understand it better, but I am certain it is not inexpensive."
"It costs us around $200 per user."
"Before we bought it, they were licensing each function individually, which got complicated and very expensive. When we decided to buy it, it was much more straightforward and still quite expensive, but it brings a lot of value and risk reduction to the organization."
"It's per-company, license-based."
"This solution is considered to be more expensive than others out there on the market today."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Overall, its pricing is really good. The main difference from all the other vendors is that they have one package that covers all the functionality and modules of the basic PAM, except the add-on modules like adware and server protection. It also doesn't include the licenses for domain controller protection or maybe an API call-related feature. For the basic privileged access management, the bundle pricing is really good, but when it comes to an agent-based solution for advanced cyber protection or application identity managers, it is expensive. Services are also very expensive if you hire the services team from CyberArk, but these guys are really good. For a couple of large banking projects, we had an experience with them. The banks wanted to have things quickly and efficiently, so we had to hire them. If we take four weeks, these guys can do everything on a weekend. They charge quite a big sum of money, but they know the system well."
"CyberArk is very expensive and there are additional fees for add-ons."
"The solution's pricing is good and cheaper than that of Claroty."
"I have not seen any competition in terms of pricing, and it is quite reasonable."
