Centralized access has improved privileged control and visibility yet still needs better integrations
While the access control capabilities are useful, streamlining some configuration and policy management workflows could enhance the user experience for administrators. A simpler interface for creating access policies and quickly identifying unusual activities would make day-to-day administration more efficient. Stronger integration with existing identity data and secret management could be a significant improvement for Idira Privileged Access Manager. Deeper integration with cloud solutions would make it easier to correlate privileged access activity with other security events. I would also appreciate more flexible reporting and dashboards so administrators can swiftly see access patterns and unusual privileged access from a single view.

Granular access controls and real-time session oversight have strengthened our compliance posture
I find the session recording feature of senhasegura Session Management awesome compared to BeyondTrust. Regarding automation in senhasegura Session Management, when configured properly, if you have done anything wrong, you will get an alert message stating that we need to do something because it is a dangerous situation, and it will not accept any wrong configuration until it is perfect. With reporting, senhasegura Session Management real-time reporting assists organizations in handling compliance violations as they are already compliant with the NCA, National Cyber Authority, and they have received the green signal for them. I assess the effectiveness of senhasegura Session Management in implementing granular access control as very good. I have found that they made it very easy to configure. There is no issue; anyone with a basic knowledge of IT can implement senhasegura Session Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are two main ways CyberArk Privileged Access Manager Server Control has been helpful to us."
"Because we now have the ability to grant access to management utilities like DNS Manager, Sequel Studio, and MMC, in a secure fashion, without system admins being required to continually reenter various passwords that are stored who knows where, it has really made the system admin's job much easier. It has made the PSM's job much easier. It has made the auditor's job and the security team's job and the access manager's job significantly easier, because we're able to move much more quickly toward a role-based access management system, and that is really streamlining the whole onboarding/offboarding management process."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the vault. I am satisfied with the interface and the documentation."
"The accounts are maintained automatically. Hence, resource and administration costs are less."
"This is a complete solution that can detect cyber attacks well."
"CyberArk probably has probably the best vault on the market because of the multiple layered security and each password getting its own encryption."
"The combination of CPM and PSM resolves a lot of use cases."
"PSM (Privilege Session Manager."
"I trust senhasegura Session Management and believe that every customer and partner trusts the product; definitely, they will grow on the product."
 

Cons

"The PTA could be improved. Currently, companies often have multiple domains and sometimes it's difficult to implement CyberArk in this kind of infrastructure. For example, you can add CPM (Central Policy Manager) and PSM (Privileged Session Manager and PVWA (Password Vault Web Access) for access, but if you want to add PTA (Privileged Threat Analysis) to scan Vault logs, it is difficult because this component may be adding multiple domain environments."
"When something comes out, it's generally airtight and works as advertised. However, sometimes they are a little bit slow to keep up with what's coming out. In 2017, for example, they released support for Windows Server 2016, which had been out for a year or so."
"The installation is not straightforward. It's complex."
"We had an issue with the Copy feature... Apparently, in version 10, that Copy feature does not work. You actually have to click Show and then copy the password from within Show and then paste it. We've had a million tickets and we had to figure out a workaround to it."
"The performance of this product needs to be improved. When the number of privileged accounts increases, i.e., exceeds 2000, then the performance of the system reduces."
"​It's hard to find competent resellers/support."
"We require IAM (identify and access management) capability at the administrator level because we need more identification."
"They are taking two to three days for resolution are too slow. Customers, including myself, do not want to wait this long for solutions."
"Support is one of the drawbacks or weak points I have noticed in senhasegura Session Management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The SaaS version of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is very expensive, but the on-premises version is relative, e.g. depending on the size of the environment, it can be a bit pricey, but it's relatively okay compared to the others."
"Our risk is definitely significantly lower. Also, our resources are low."
"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 cost is high compared to other products."
"Quite expensive"
