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.

Takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically but they should improve the application password management
Our use case is for privileged account password management It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk. The password management is good. They should improve the application password management.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I love how easily we could operate within Password Vault and get things done. It was almost effortless."
"CyberArk is the key technology around which we have built our security management solution."
"Overall, as a partner in our digital transformation, CyberArk has been great."
"Once the product was deployed and we were able to give them all the tools that they have today, and they did not have to go through attestations and audits anymore and, when team members were coming in and leaving, all they had to do was put in a ServiceNow request to complete all the work, it was just something so different for them that all that friction just went away."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager’s ability to safeguard credentials is very important."
"Our most valuable features would probably be key rotation, the SKM or SSH key manager, and account discovery."
"The privileged support manager is the most valuable feature of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Password vaulting and password recovery: The encrypted password protects the clear text passwords and the recovery checkout process provides an audit of when the password was used."
"I believe that the amount of malware that has been blocked and possible infections that have been avoided due to randomizing the accounts truly outweigh the cost of the product and yearly maintenance renewals."
"It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk."
"It is very easy to install and enumerate all machines from an Active Directory domain and begin changing passwords on domain and local accounts."
"It is built to be scalable to a virtually infinite capacity."
 

Cons

"CyberArk definitely needs to improve user experience and reduce complexity."
"The issue of technical support is crucial, as there are not many specialized partners available in Brazil to provide this service. While English language support is of good quality, there is a significant shortage of partners capable of meeting the demand locally."
"It is easily customized, and that customization makes it very easy to start trying to shoehorn the solution into roles it was never intended to fill."
"The usual workload on the system is sometimes delayed by CyberArk, so any major work is getting delayed and may take twice the amount of time that it usually does."
"As we have not yet moved to the core licensing model, we don't have the benefit of PSM and a few other things that were not previously included."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do. I know if you do that, you add more knobs and dials to deal with, but that's just my personal approach: granular access."
"In complex network infrastructure environments, sporadic network disruptions could create issues accessing the various CyberArk network devices."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's deployment is complex for resources with little experience. Tech support needs to be improved as well based on quality and knowledge."
"We want to manage DBA privileged IDs that access Oracle DBs. We have 100 DBs and 30 DBAs and there is no automated way to grant the access."
"The included session recording is not very robust."
"One of the features that ERPM is capable of providing is giving users the ability to 'request' admin credentials on their machines for a specific purpose (provided you have removed all users from local admin on their machines)."
"They should improve the application password management. The capability to manage high availability application passwords is its biggest shortcoming."
"Session recording generally works but intermittently stops."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is in line with its competitors, but all such solutions cost too much money."
"The pricing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is quite expensive, and the pricing varies from region to region. In APAC, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be obtained for less than in North America, according to my understanding."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."
"Pricing and licensing depend on the environment."
"There are additional features added to our CyberArk Privileged Access Manager license. For example, features that allow us to integrate into various kinds of platforms."
"The solution is very expensive and requires a license. We pay for an enterprise license."
"The solution is available at a high price"
"Previously, the pricing was very meager. They started publicizing and advertising the solution, growing CyberArk, as an organization. They also changed their pricing with that growth, e.g., the pricier the product, the more people who will purchase it."
