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.

Offers security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed
There are a couple of things. One is the BreachWatch feature. It's one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords. So, it checks the passwords and helps improve them. There's also a security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed. Some people haven't changed their passwords for months, even though applications force them to change every 45 or 90 days. So you can catch those issues and warn them. Most applications allow for rotation, but some don't. I've seen people use the same password for years. At least Keeper tells us these passwords haven't been rotated, and we can warn them to change them manually since we can't force people to change the password.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were able to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which helped to simplify our privileged access management environment."
"This is the number one product for privilege account security."
"Their customer support was excellent."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The product is stable."
"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."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment. That means you can delete the local admins and grant them proper privileges with the console. So, they will get proper permissions for applications they need, but we don't have to do it. In the domain where we don't have control, the user can only do specified actions, but not all of them."
"We like that you can distribute the applications and decide how you want to run those applications based on their criticality, and that division was really, really helpful as it has actually reduced almost 30% of calls to the IT help desk."
"BreachWatch feature is one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords."
 

Cons

"The solution can be complex to use at times."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."
"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."
"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."
"One area that has room for improvement is in managing the credentials for network devices."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."
"They need much better integration with Azure AD."
"The final implementation was challenging because we had to roll it out to three different departments within the same umbrella, each with its own domains."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."
"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"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 tool is priced high. I would rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"It's good value for money."
