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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk is one of the best PAM solutions and one of the most expensive, but it works better than the others, so the pricing is fair."
"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."
"All other top solutions in the Gartner Magic Quadrant were evaluated and CyberArk came up as the best and most mature choice."
"I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is session recording."
"It's been a fantastic product and it's been easy to use."
"The solution is very good for protecting full levels of data privacy."
"The integrations are the most valuable aspect of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager. The software offers pre-built integrations, and our team can also create custom connectors. This flexibility allows us to integrate with systems that we previously didn't consider integrating with, making it a significant advantage for us."
"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."
"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Excellent."
 

Cons

"I sometimes require learning resources when there is a new solution for CyberArk."
"From what I can see, the Systems Integrator is useless. When I ask for the information, nothing is given to me."
"The pricing is too expensive and should be reduced."
"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."
"The tool’s pricing and scalability can be better."
"We don't often contact technical support, but when we do it, the response could be faster and better."
"I would say there are scalability issues. After the solution is deployed, resizing it is difficult."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in the report section. I also work on other tools, such as Thycotic, which allows you to create customized reports for your organization's needs. In CyberArk, there are limited reports, whereas in Thycotic or some of the other PAM tools, because the database is different, you can customize the report based on your needs through SQL queries."
"They could include a deployment mechanism."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's licensing is yearly. I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"CyberArk provides all the features bundled. This is compared to other vendors who provide them as a different license for each functionality."
"Payments have to be made on a yearly basis toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"The pricing for CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is quite expensive, and the pricing varies from region to region. In APAC, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be obtained for less than in North America, according to my understanding."
"CyberArk has been Gartner's number-one pick for the past ten years, so you can infer that their pricing is higher than everyone else. When you are the best, you will charge appropriately for it."
"The pricing is slightly higher compared to other solutions, but it is reasonable because there are better security features."
"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."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is more expensive than its competitors, such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, and ManageEngine PAM360."
