"It gives us the capability to rotate passwords."

"It is a scalable product."
"I like all the features with Proofpoint, such as how it filters the spam and marketing mail, lost reality mail, blocks phishing attacks, blocks malicious attachments, and stops phishing links. Also it can defend against the business email compromise impersonation technique. It is a complete solution for all email attacks. It filters for the bad, malicious attachments. If there is any executable file, it can be deleted. It is a good, complete solution."
"They have customized security rules, mature rules, anti-virus protection, as well as email authentication similar to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC."

"I would love them to improve their UI customizing features."
"We had an issue with the Copy feature... Apparently, in version 10, that Copy feature does not work. You actually have to click Show and then copy the password from within Show and then paste it. We've had a million tickets and we had to figure out a workaround to it."
"More additional features as far as the REST is concerned, because we have something which was the predecessor to REST. A lot of the features which were in the predecessor have not necessarily been ported over to REST yet."
"The current interface is not very intuitive."
"We don't often contact technical support, but when we do it, the response could be faster and better."
"CyberArk PAM could greatly benefit from an under-the-hood update; integrating machine learning algorithms could provide predictive insights."
"The one place where we found that this product really needs to improve is the cloud. Simple integrations don't exist, even today. We don't have anything specific on CyberArk for managing, SaaS products, SaaS vendors, SaaS credentials. I understand it's a vendor-based thing and that they have to coordinate with the other vendors to be able to do that, and there are integrations coming. But these are the major places where CyberArk definitely needs to invest some more time."
"We would, of course, always prefer it if the pricing was cheaper."
"The product's deployment is complex and requires technical knowledge."
"The flexibility of the solution can be improved."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"The email DLP portion could be a bit easier."
"The reporting section could be enhanced. I like some reports but if they could allow us to create custom reports with more flexibility it would enhance the reports more."
"The largest complaint that we hear from our customers is that there is no local support."
"The incident reporting on offer needs to be improved. It's lacking right now. It should be on the platform somewhere."
