We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Password Safe and CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Password Managers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The performance is good."
"It is very easy to deploy. It's easy to use. That's the major thing I like about it."
"The best aspect of the product is the ability to onboard devices. You can scan the IP subnets and onboard all the devices. You can then segregate them if it's a network device or a firewall. If it's a Windows server or a UNIX, you can basically scan your IT infrastructure and onboard the efforts, which should be managed. Once they have been onboarded, then the session management and password management are easy and nicely configurable."
"BeyondTrust Password Safe is a good PAM tool."
"The solution protects organizations from internal and external threats."
"Session recording, password rotation, and password vaulting are the most valuable features."
"The CI/CD and REST API are also satisfactory; the solution has a full PAM feature set and they all work well."
"Its number one feature is discovery. The discovery engine in BeyondTrust is off the charts. When they perform a discovery, you know everything there is about a server, including what software is installed. For example, if you want to group all of your database servers together, you can do that by using discovery and Smart Rules. If a server has Microsoft SQL installed, it gets put into a group based on a Smart Rule. It makes it very easy to determine what is what in your environment. As organizations grow or acquire other companies and merge, they lose track of what they have. BeyondTrust can help you throw a rope around it very rapidly."
"CPM helps keep the password policy up to date."
"The most valuable feature is privileged session management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it's the best in the market. I haven't seen any other PAM solutions better than CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault."
"The password rotation and cyber gateway have been quite useful."
"The most valuable feature is the special management. It records the activity and the actions that we use for auditing."
"The interface is very simple to use."
"Our most valuable features would probably be key rotation, the SKM or SSH key manager, and account discovery."
"If properly set up, CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault has good stability, and is a very solid tool. It can run by itself. Its most valuable features are auto password recycling and PSM."
"We don't have much control over the appliance. When anything happens in the backend, we have to depend on the support team. We need to raise a case so that they can update the appliance. If we have control over it, we would be able to troubleshoot easily."
"We weren't aware that the Password Safe virtual appliance runs on a Windows server. As part of our monthly patching process, we ran into an issue. BeyondTrust Password Safe wasn't compatible with the patching we used to put on our server."
"It has crashed on us in the past."
"The integration with Secure Remote Access must be improved."
"We'd like to have incremental backups to ensure the solution's information is protected regularly."
"The pricing is not cheap, but it could be better."
"The database instance onboarding should be simplified. The problem is that you can scan the assets and databases inside a server, but you cannot onboard them or manage them with the smart tools. It has to be done manually. I think they should try to include more custom platforms."
"We face screensaver timeout issues and problems with the server. I would like the product to include a server visibility feature."
"I would prefer that this is a fully-managed service, rather than have to manage the software ourselves and keep it up to date."
"The initial setup could be simplified. Right now, in comparison to its nearest competitors, it's quite complex."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"The license is expensive."
"The challenge with the product is pricing since it's expensive. It also needs to improve the customization. We encountered some stability issues as well."
"The tool needs to improve its usage and interface. They need to have a modern and useful interface. I want the product to improve its integration capabilities as well since some of the integration features do not work always."
"Upgrading the product is very difficult, so this could be an area for improvement."
"I would like to see a simplification of the product."
