Mahmudul Hoque Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Engineer at intelQong Technology
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I think CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is very good and can be considered a market leader in this space."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager provides granularity. You can break things down into individual safes. You have specific access to safes by individual or group. The interface is with AD, with LDAP, or with local CyberArk passwords. You also have the ability to establish policies for your individual credentials."
"It helps our customers in their software requirement imports."
"Improved our user access and tracking, thereby safeguarding the organization and its customers."
"The logs and reporting features are impressive."
"As an end-user within the organization, I can't and I don't need to know the passwords of privileged accounts as CyberArk is taking care of the password/SSH Keys management on the target machines."
"The implementation of the PSM proxy has reduced the specific risk of "insider attacks" on our domain controllers and SLDAP servers by eliminating direct user login by an open secure connection on the user's behalf without ever revealing the privileged credentials."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Excellent."
"Easy to enter and track licensing, a history of successful and failed attempts, easy for the users, and low cost."
"It’s an excellent solution, with great security."
 

Cons

"The only problem involves granting access to people who are authorized to view it."
"Improved user-friendliness, granularity, and functionality would enhance the product further."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could improve the integration with other solutions and ease of use. Additionally, there should be a feature to have remote connections without a VPN."
"We would like to expand the usage of the auto discovery accounts feed, then on our end, tie in the REST API for automation."
"The solution is too big and complex for any businesses that are small or medium-sized. They should offer a more compact version or make a solution better suited to smaller businesses."
"I think having a distributed architecture would certainly help this solution."
"The installation process should be easier and more user-friendly so that you don't need to hire a third party to deploy it."
"Sometimes, when we install their product, the BFN (Bridge to Future Networks) to the component manager, we have issues."
"They could include a deployment mechanism."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a six out of ten."
"Quite expensive"
"It's per-company, license-based."
"Pricing is quite high and it could be improved."
"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 price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is expensive. There are no other fees other than the standard licensing fees."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
