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.

Comprehensive dashboards have enabled detailed asset visibility and proactive risk mitigation
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

"Previously, we didn't have any password rotation policy for application IDs, but once we implemented CyberArk, we created a policy and now every two weeks we are rotating the password without business impact, which gives us one place to store the keys to the kingdom so if there is any breach we know where it is and what to do."
"It is one of the best solutions in the market, and ever since I started using this solution, there has not been any compromise when it comes to our lab."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has been helpful in managing over 125,000 privileged accounts in a single environment for our client, and we have multiple CyberArk environments for different clients with different numbers of accounts."
"AIM has been a great help in automating password retrieval which removes the need for hard-coded credentials."
"We are able to know who is accessing what and when; having accountability."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the best solution for safeguarding sensitive patient data in healthcare, providing visibility and traceability that enhance compliance."
"I love how easily we could operate within Password Vault and get things done. It was almost effortless."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager indeed helps meet compliance and regulatory requirements for customers, especially in the financial sector, by aligning with PCI DSS standards."
"Nozomi Networks is an easy-to-use and powerful tool."
"The network visualization feature of Nozomi impacts security operations positively."
"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."
"I believe it is the best."
"I chose Nozomi because it is far ahead of other competitors, like Curator and Elastic."
"This is a good product and I definitely recommend it."
"Provides security for our operational technology environment for OT and IoT."
"It brings visibility into the OT environment because most of the enterprises only have methods to check their IT environment."
 

Cons

"Initial setup was complex and time-consuming but the later versions are a lot faster to implement."
"The initial setup of CyberArk is a challenge if you do not have prior experience with it."
"Making the reports more editable would be beneficial."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"The price is high compared to Azure Key Vault. It's the most expensive solution."
"It could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I encounter issues, and I do not know what the issue is."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be improved because I have experienced one issue where a user connected through RDP to a Linux server and the PAM could not fetch any commands or key store logging from the Linux server, which works fine on Windows servers."
"The reporting should be improved. There should be more customization. The report should show how we are going to mitigate the risk because we cannot show the system environment to each and every auditor."
"We have faced downtimes, crashes, or performance issues with certain implementations."
"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."
"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"Nozomi Networks should improve its pricing."
"Creating custom queries is time-consuming."
"On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved."
"Nozomi Networks currently offers add-ons, such as ARP agents, that can be installed on machines to expand the information we receive from sensors. However, these are part of a licensing structure, which can be costly."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an affordable platform."
"The product’s pricing is feasible for enterprise customers. The pricing is expensive for smaller businesses. You need to pay additional costs for service implementation and local support."
"Compared to other solutions, it is costly."
"Since CyberArk is at the top of the Gartner list, the cost is indeed on the higher side, but customers must discern which entities are essential to purchase. They should weigh the cost against the quality received."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"With the current model of licensing, for my use cases, sometimes it's hard to convince the management and get budget approvals for it. It's expensive and you're not getting anything new. It's just a control, but in terms of risk, you are covering a big impact on the company. Improvement in the licensing prices is something I would want to have."
"There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
"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."
