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.

Helps me deal with a litany of access credentials, but the user interface is not well structured
Our primary use for this solution is password management. We have so many websites, passwords, and user IDs that it is impossible to remember them all This solution has helped us deal with the litany of access credentials, whether business or personal. The most valuable feature is that it stores…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk has the ability to change the credentials on every platform."
"It takes away all ambiguity around "known" admin accounts."
"The DNA scan is very helpful and provides a security baseline for your environment."
"The best feature is vaulting. CyberArk has a separate vault, which is their proprietary vault, which provides multiple encryptions for every password object, as well as tamper-proof recording."
"The central password manager is the most valuable feature because the password is constantly changing. If an outsider threat came in and gained access to one of those passwords, they would not have access for long."
"This is a stable, reasonably priced product, and it has good security features as well."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager has helped our organization remain compliant in the privileged access management space."
"The password vault and session monitoring are useful."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"There is a lot of complexity if we are installing the solution on-premises."
"There are upwards of six components you need to set it up. And you might need anywhere from two to five servers. It takes some work to set that up, especially in a larger environment."
"Improvements in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager should focus on simplifying installation and upgrade times, and also consider making professional services training more accessible to implementers and partners."
"This product needs professional consulting services to onboard accounts effectively based user profiles."
"The tool needs to improve its usage and interface. They need to have a modern and useful interface. I want the product to improve its integration capabilities as well since some of the integration features do not work always."
"The solution could improve by adding more connectors."
"The solution is stable, but some features in BeyondTrust are unavailable in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager."
"Performance of PIM could be better and intended for usability as well as security."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on the expensive side. It is very expensive."
"Although CyberArk Privileged Access Management is expensive, its protection capabilities outweigh the cost."
"This solution is expensive."
"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."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a six out of ten."
"CyberArk is very expensive and there are additional fees for add-ons."
"I would rate CyberArk's pricing a nine out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the market, but it's worth it."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
