"Among the features that have helped improve our security posture are storing secrets in a secure location to create a trusted situation, trusted resources, and incorporating identity access management so that we know who has access to what."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and enabling our clients to manage keys."
"The product's integration capabilities are good."
"The solution uses the encryption technique to store the secret information data that uses EPCE. There is also one feature that monitors Azure Key Vault."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Key Vault is the secret storage of data."
"The centralized storage and secure storage are features we like."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is session recording."
"Our privileged accounts are now stored in a more secure location and lateral movement within the network have been lessened."
"I love how easily we could operate within Password Vault and get things done. It was almost effortless."
"CyberArk's GUI is user friendly."
"CyberArk probably has probably the best vault on the market because of the multiple layered security and each password getting its own encryption."
"Previously, we used to share passwords for service and normal admin accounts among team members. However, since we started managing it through the product, we've transitioned to individual admin accounts or implemented dual control for shared accounts. With dual control, exclusive checking and checkout options are available, and passwords are not stored in clear text anywhere in the credentials."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"Password Vault's main advantage is its scalability. We constantly see huge enterprises implementing something like this, and the privileged session management is an excellent piece. You can kind of watch videos of whatever an admin has done."
"The platform's configuration process could be easier."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"If multiple clouds are to be used it can be difficult and a third party should assist in the implementation."
"Many times, the first round of support itself will fail, and they will bring some more competent people in the subsequent support. So it gets into a hierarchical mode. By then, we will lose a good amount of time. The technical support needs improvement."
"Currently, our company has to add the secrets manually, one by one, in Azure Key Vault, which is a tedious process."
"While it's very reliable in terms of stability, there's always room for improvement."
"The solution's usage can be a little better from the user interface point of view."
"Sometimes it takes too long to retrieve the keys. The authentication process takes time."
"The initial setup could be simplified. Right now, in comparison to its nearest competitors, it's quite complex."
"The only problem involves granting access to people who are authorized to view it."
"The price is high compared to Azure Key Vault. It's the most expensive solution."
"I would prefer that this is a fully-managed service, rather than have to manage the software ourselves and keep it up to date."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do. I know if you do that, you add more knobs and dials to deal with, but that's just my personal approach: granular access."
"Upgrading the product is very difficult, so this could be an area for improvement."
"There are upwards of six components you need to set it up. And you might need anywhere from two to five servers. It takes some work to set that up, especially in a larger environment."
"CyberArk's license is too expensive. I rate it seven out of 10 for affordability."
