Provides full visibility into user activity and ensures secure end-to-end access across critical systems
In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I see room for improvement as I am working in the on-premises networks, and now we are also having the cloud-based PAM. So there, everything is maintained by the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager team, and we are only maintaining the PSM servers. So it is already upgraded from the on-premises network to the cloud network. If you ask me what we can implement beyond that, I just need a few minutes to think about what new things, because it is already an end-to-end security on-premises itself. Now, when it comes to PCloud, Privileged Cloud, it is more secure than the on-premises networks because most of the things are handled using the cloud itself. So it is an already upgraded version; we do not need to implement something new. But if you think in that way, we can have a chance to implement our things. If anything could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I think we could build a small agent AI in my team, we could give access to these logs—the Vault logs, PSM logs, and CPM logs. Whenever the system is going down, the AI will automatically check. 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. That is the best improvement I can think of because these days, most things are done by agent AI. So if we also implement this agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we can add more features.

With a great support team and stability, the tool also offers scalability to its users
The initial setup was easy. One just needs to write the initial configuration. Then, in senhasegura's cloud applications, you can use it. I just deploy it in PoC environments or demo environments and not for production. Hence, it takes much less time than I imagine when comparing its deployment in production. I think it can be deployed in two or three days. My company has partnered with senhasegura. We just downloaded the main machine for virtual use. Then, we get the key to install it. Before, you just need to try the general configuration. Then, you will have the web applications ready. Then, you can just discover the accounts or any devices that you want to manage the accounts and manage the credentials.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The DNA scan is very helpful and provides a security baseline for your environment."
"You can easily manage more than 4000 accounts with one PSM."
"It is scalable."
"Technical support has been very responsive in navigating challenges. It is very easy to open a ticket."
"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."
"Technical support is excellent; one of the most knowledgeable and well-trained support staff."
"Rather than multiple tools for maintaining regulatory compliance around passwords and privileged accounts, we have centralized as much as possible with CyberArk. This is now a one stop shop for end users to access their elevated credentials."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is excellent for meeting compliance and regulatory requirements."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was somewhat complex."
"They could improve CyberArk Privileged Access Manager by providing more reports. If I need to know the 10 most-used accounts for this week, that functionality can be made available in the reports."
"Better search functionality in the EPM console. It becomes difficult to search lengthy policies for specific items."
"In complex network infrastructure environments, sporadic network disruptions could create issues accessing the various CyberArk network devices."
"Initial setup is complex. Lots of architecture, lots of planning, and lots of education and training are needed."
"There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a pretty complex solution."
"Integration of this tool with SAML is a problem, as there is a bug."
"CyberArk has two disadvantages; the first is that it's insanely expensive and the other is it's very complex."
"In Linux credential discovery was a bit hard, but after Senhasegura's latest update, it is much easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive."
"I would rate the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager seven out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Its price is high. I have also worked with Delinea. CyberArk is comparatively expensive compared to other PAM solutions, such as Delinea, especially during renewal."
"CyberArk provides all the features bundled. This is compared to other vendors who provide them as a different license for each functionality."
"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."
"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."
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"I have heard from my leaders that CyberArk is costlier in terms of licensing. The support and maintenance are also costly. We use their premium support, but for the price we pay, we do not get the value."
