Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."On the EBB user side, we were able to secure all the server root passwords and admin for Windows. This was a big win for us."
"For a while, there were individual IDs having privileged access. We wanted to restrict that. We implemented the solution so that it can be more of internal control. We can have session recordings happening and reduce our attacks."
"It improves security in our company. We have more than 10,000 accounts that we manage in CyberArk. We use these accounts for SQLs, Windows Server, and Unix. Therefore, keeping these passwords up-to-date in another solution or software would be impossible. Now, we have some sort of a platform to manage passwords, distribute the inflow, and manage IT teams as well as making regular changes to it according to the internal security policies in our bank."
"The product has allowed us to improve both the management and access to privileged credentials, while also creating a full audit trail of all activities happening within isolated sessions of all tasks and activities taking place within the solution."
"I appreciate the ease of use for support analysts."
"I like the integrations for external applications."
"The combination of CPM and PSM resolves a lot of use cases."
"It enables companies to automate password management on target systems gaining a more secure access management approach."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Web Isolation is the user-friendliness of the solution."
"It's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."
"I would like to see is the policy export and import. When we expend, we do not want to just hand do a policy."
"The product documentation has to be more precise in certain aspects with explanations for functionality limitations along with reference material or screenshots."
"The support services could act faster when people reach out to resolve issues."
"There is a learning curve when it comes to planning out the deployment strategy, but once it is defined, it runs itself."
"If there is an area that has room for improvement, it's probably working with their support and getting people on the phone. That is hard to do with most products in general, but that seems to be the difficult area. The product is fantastic, but sometimes we want somebody on the phone."
"The current user interface is a little dated. However, I hear there are changes coming in the next version."
"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."
"Symantec Web Isolation could improve by reducing licensing costs."
