Helps with compliance and improves operational flexibility
We have had both on-premises and SaaS models. The on-premise setup was a little difficult, but now that it has been moved to the SaaS model, everything is controlled by CyberArk. We just go and do our work. The initial on-premises setup took two weeks because it was an integrated effort. I had to spin up the servers and bring in the CyberArk Secrets Management resource to deploy the scripts. I then had to open networks and firewalls between CyberArk Secrets Management's on-premise servers and the application server. In the initial phase, it took two to three weeks, but it became easier when moving to the SaaS model. In terms of maintenance, it requires patching or upgrades, which happens one day in a month. If there is a failure, we have to roll back and try once again, which takes more time, but if everything goes smoothly, there is three to five hours of downtime.

We had an issue once with Pulumi Enterprise versioning where one of the versions didn't work for us. I had to downgrade the Pulumi Enterprise version to make things work. I suggest ensuring that the higher versions of Pulumi Enterprise always work without issues. When the Pulumi Enterprise seminars and webinars happen, they're always dedicated to other time zones. Having a time zone for Australia Perth time would be nice because all the seminars are always at 2:00 a.m. in the morning for me at Perth or maybe after 5:00 p.m. or before 8:00 a.m. would be ideal. I enjoy attending the Pulumi Enterprise seminars, but they're just at odd times.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."
"The granular controls of CyberArk Secrets Management are very niche in their development and very secure from the overall secret management perspective, offering high-level functionalities where we have control over user access, which can be tracked and monitored."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"Before using Pulumi Enterprise, our deployment time was between thirty minutes to an hour, and now we can change anything in our cloud environment in just a few minutes, like two or three minutes, generally reducing time by about sixty to seventy percent."
"Pulumi Enterprise is way better than Terraform in my opinion because it has a declarative syntax that Terraform does not have, which is really valuable."
"Pulumi Enterprise is a great tool for infrastructure as code deployments, and you can do it with any programming language, so it's quite useful."
"If you have a complex infrastructure or a big team, start using Pulumi Enterprise without any second thought."
"<p>Pulumi Enterprise increases efficiency and reliability by providing seamless automation processes and tools while considering security and making secure infrastructure easy.</p>"
"Pulumi Enterprise has had a positive impact on my organization in terms of agility, standardization, and governance in the infrastructure-as-code area."
"<p>Pulumi Enterprise positively impacts my organization as it enables us to manage stacks across different environments.</p>"
"Pulumi Enterprise has positively impacted my organization because it has saved considerable time."
 

Cons

"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"The tool is very good, but the commercialized training, which is paid, could be improved."
"We did not have a good experience with technical support because their numerous processes caused delays in engaging, leading to project delays or issues with production."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"We had an issue once with Pulumi Enterprise versioning where one of the versions didn't work for us. I had to downgrade the Pulumi Enterprise version to make things work."
"I think the cost was very high when I had discussions with the customers."
"<p>Additionally, I sometimes struggle to see what we are paying for; we use Enterprise, but does the money justify what you are being offered when you have Terraform for free which offers a majority of the features already?</p>"
"Pulumi Enterprise has some issues worth mentioning. The stacks can grow and the execution time appears to grow exponentially when the number of resources increases."
"<p>I have not seen any specific outcome or benefit that I have measured so far, such as saving time, reducing errors, or helping my team in a measurable way.</p>"
"Additionally, I think the modules part is a bit weak."
"In the past year, I remember instances when Cloud Code searched for documentation from Pulumi and usually returned a non-existent parameter, which caused me to spend a lot of time finding and removing the incorrect parameter."
"I think debugging can sometimes be less intuitive; for example, because you're executing actual code to produce infrastructure, there's a mental gap between the code I'm writing, the Pulumi Enterprise engine, the desired state that we're after once the code actually executes, the provider, for example, in this case Azure, and the cloud resource."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Secrets Management has a moderate pricing structure based on a per-tenant licensing model rather than a per-user account model like their PAM solution."
"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
