We performed a comparison between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and ManageEngine PAM360 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."CyberArk has resulted in a massive increase in our security footprint."
"Securely protects our TAP/NUID and privileged access accounts within the company."
"It enables companies to automate password management on target systems gaining a more secure access management approach."
"The regulation of accounts is by far the most needed and valuable part of the application."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager's main benefit is it provides secure access to our servers. There are features to capture the user activity, it provides video recording processing. If the users are logged in to the server, we can see what activities they are performing. It's a very nice tool for Privileged Access Management. They have plenty of useful services and the solution has fulfilled our needs."
"Creating policies and the password rotation feature have been valuable. We don't have to memorize our password for the ADM account."
"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."
"The credentials management capability is key to ensuring that the credentials are kept secure and that access to them is done on a temporary and event-driven basis."
"We can use it remotely as well."
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"It should be easy to use for non-technical people. Its interface can be a bit difficult. Some parts of its interface are not very intuitive. Some of the controls are hidden, and instead of having a screen with all the controls for that account on it, you have to use menus and other similar things."
"Some aspects of the administration need improvement, though they have recently made improvements to the API. However, the management with the interface and configuration are not so user-friendly. It has not changed much during all the years that CyberArk has been on the market. The management part, like platform management as well as PSM connectors definition and management, could be improved, even if it has already been done with the API."
"It is easily customized, and that customization makes it very easy to start trying to shoehorn the solution into roles it was never intended to fill."
"It is very complex and difficult to set up the solution."
"This is probably a common thing, but they do ask for a lot of log files, a lot of information. They ask you to provide a lot of information to them before they're willing to give you anything at all upfront. It would be better if they were a little more give-and-take upfront: "Why don't you try these couple of things while we take your log files and stuff and go research them?" A little bit of that might be more helpful."
"There were a lot of manual steps in the initial setup which could have been automated. I read the 10.4 release that was sent out about a month or two ago, and I saw the steps required for upgrade have been reduced by about 90%. That was a big thing for me, but I still haven't seen that yet because we have not upgrade past 9.9.5."
"Over the past seven years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs with the product."
"There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a pretty complex solution."
"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."
"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."
