Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."We have accomplished our security goals. We have two-factor authenticated and vaulted our important accounts, so people can't just steal stuff from us."
"The users have the ability to rotate passwords on a daily basis with a Reconcile Account. Or, if they want to do one-time password checkouts, we can manage those, check in, check out. I like the flexibility of the changing of the password, specifically."
"I really like the PTA (Privileged Threat Analytics). I find this the best feature."
"Password rotation, session recording & isolation and on-demand privileges."
"The most valuable feature is Special Monitoring."
"It supports lots of requirements in the privileged access management area."
"All access to our servers by both staff and vendors is monitored and recorded."
"The product is for hardening access and making the organization more secure, therefore reducing chances of a breach."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"The most valuable feature is the compliance, whether it's access compliance or the configuration compliance, to make sure that all of our devices are configured as they're supposed to be, to limit access as much possible, to follow least-access guidelines."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"Security review is the most important feature, because it offers a single pane of glass to analyze multiple firewalls."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"Stability is a huge concern right now. We are on a version which is very unstable. We have to upgrade to stabilize it. It is fine, but the problem is we have to hire CyberArk to do the upgrade. This costs money, and it is their bug."
"The continuous scanning of the assets is limited to Windows and Unix. We like to have the solution scan any databases, network devices, and security devices for privileged accounts. That would be very helpful."
"Many of the infrastructure folks who use the product dislike it because it complicates their workflow. They get a little less control, and they have to go through a specific solution. It proactively logs in for them, which obfuscates some of the issues that they may be troubleshooting."
"The documentation is rather basic and it is missing many use cases."
"We would, of course, always prefer it if the pricing was cheaper."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager difficulty depends on the environment that you are implementing it into. However, it typically is simple."
"CyberArk has to continue to evolve with that threat landscape to make sure that they're still protecting those credentials that are owned by those that have privileged accounts in the firms."
"Performance of PIM could be better and intended for usability as well as security."
"The support could be improved."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"The primary room for improvement would be to enable a web interface, which is not something which is there in the product. This is supposed to have come a year, a year and a half ago, but still has failed to come out. It still needs a client application to be installed on a workstation to be able to access that server and then run these reports. So I cannot extend that access to anybody. It has to be one administrator all the time. So unlike a web interface, where you can give multiple users simultaneous access and generate the various reports, that isn't a possibility at the moment."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"The price could be cheaper."
