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.

Takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically but they should improve the application password management
Our use case is for privileged account password management It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk. The password management is good. They should improve the application password management.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspects of the solution include password management and Rest API retrieval of vaulted credentials."
"It is useful for protecting passwords. If you need to do access security management, you can first use the CyberArk console, and after that, you can connect the firewall interface or firewall command line. Similarly, if you need to do an RDP session, you need to first log in to CyberArk before connecting to the Windows RDP session. This way, the admin doesn't know the password, and that password is changed immediately. To change the password, you first discover the old password in the network, and after that, you can change the password."
"If your business/organization has crown-jewel data, this is the tool to use."
"I found it valuable that CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be integrated with PTA (privileged threat analytics), and this means that it will tell you if there's a risk to the logins and signs of risk and if risky behavior is observed. It's a good feature. Another good feature is the CPM (central password manager) because it helps you rotate the passwords automatically without involving the admins. It can go and update the scheduled tasks and the services. At the same time, if there's an application where it cannot do all of these, CPM will trigger an automatic email to the application owners, telling them that they should go ahead and change the password. This allows you to manage the account password that CyberArk cannot manage, which helps mitigate the risk of old passwords, where the password gets compromised, and also allows you to manage the security of the domain."
"The product has performed very well, and we will continue to invest in this space because the CyberArk tools are working well for us."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault are password vaulting and automatic rotation of passwords after use."
"We are able to rotate privileged user passwords to eliminate fraudulent use."
"PSM enables after-hours monitoring."
"It's more of a risk reduction. It takes passwords that are not being managed properly and manages them automatically which really reduces risk."
"Password vaulting and password recovery: The encrypted password protects the clear text passwords and the recovery checkout process provides an audit of when the password was used."
"I believe that the amount of malware that has been blocked and possible infections that have been avoided due to randomizing the accounts truly outweigh the cost of the product and yearly maintenance renewals."
"It is very easy to install and enumerate all machines from an Active Directory domain and begin changing passwords on domain and local accounts."
"It is built to be scalable to a virtually infinite capacity."
 

Cons

"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."
"However, there is still room for improvement."
"Updates have been somewhat difficult, resulting in challenges when moving from one version to another. The current version includes automatic updates."
"The DNA scan should be able to scan Unix machines for privileged accounts."
"When they took it to the cloud, they started cutting things out."
"The interface could be improved it is not user-friendly, but they have improved but it could still improve. In the policies configuration, it would be a benefit to have more details."
"The web access piece needs improvement. We have version 9.5 or 9.9.5, and now we have to upgrade to version 10."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The included session recording is not very robust."
"They should improve the application password management. The capability to manage high availability application passwords is its biggest shortcoming."
"One of the features that ERPM is capable of providing is giving users the ability to 'request' admin credentials on their machines for a specific purpose (provided you have removed all users from local admin on their machines)."
"Session recording generally works but intermittently stops."
"We want to manage DBA privileged IDs that access Oracle DBs. We have 100 DBs and 30 DBAs and there is no automated way to grant the access."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's pricing is reasonable."
"This product is very expensive."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a six out of ten."
"Network and security licenses are currently being managed by other outsource vendors, so they are facing some type of problems in the digital aspect."
"This solution is considered to be more expensive than others out there on the market today."
"The price of this solution is quite reasonable."
"The main problem for the tool is its licensing. I work for a really big company. When you try to develop this as a service, usually you work with leverage teams who are formed with dozens of members. You might dedicate one FTE, or less, for something, e.g., an antivirus administrator. You might have half an FTE's effort dedicated to administering the antivirus, but then you have a team of about 30 users who might access that ticket. The problem is that CyberArk eliminated the possibility of concurrent users years ago. This is a big problem for companies who work with leverage teams. You need to pay for everyone. 40 licenses are used by 20 or 30 people. This is a big problem because licenses are not precisely cheap."
