We performed a comparison between Check Point Infinity and CyberArk Privileged Access Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise."
"The Check Point Infinity security architecture enables organizations to fully implement all of the Zero Trust Principles."
"It is a scalable product."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"Our network security posture has improved significantly due to several factors. We've seen a 25% reduction in security incidents due to Infinity's advanced threat prevention capabilities. Additionally, the platform's automation features led to a 20% increase in operational efficiency, allowing our security teams to focus on more strategic tasks."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"We can add our environments and can configure and manage them easily which is why administrators are happy with this tool."
"Infinity is a technical console where we have to log in, and we can navigate to all the products very easily because it is written in a normal installation. People who know about the product can click and take care of their activity."
"They just released Marketplace, and they are constantly releasing updates to the components and adding new components, like Conjur. This is something that we ran into with Secret Server and DevOps, so it is already scalable, but becoming more so in the future."
"The most important feature is managing the credentials and implementing those policies which rotate the credentials. Session Manager is also key in not letting the users have access to those credentials. Instead, CyberArk actually manages everything by itself."
"Automatic password management, which will automatically change passwords based on compliance requirements."
"The voice technology is very good."
"CyberArk is a very stable product and it's a stable product because it has a simple design and a simple architecture that allows you to leverage the economies of scale across the base of your infrastructure that you already have implemented. It doesn't really introduce any new complex pieces of infrastructure that would make it that much more difficult to scale."
"When we started with RPA, there was a requirement that every credential and the bots themselves be protected through the PAM system. From the get-go, we've had CyberArk in the middle... We've got a pretty robust RPA implementation with our PAM platform. Users, bots, the credentials — everything is managed via our PAM solution."
"We also use CyberArk’s Secrets Manager. Because AWS is the biggest area for us, we have accounts in AWS that are being rotated by CyberArk. We also have a manual process for the most sensitive of our AWS accounts, like root accounts. We've used Secrets Manager on those and that has resulted in a significant risk reduction, as well."
"The automatic password management is the most important feature. The second most important feature is the ability to enforce dual control on the release of those passwords. The combination of these two features is the most important thing for us because we can show that we're in control of who uses any non-personal account, and when they do so."
"There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."
"Technical support is something that needs improvement."
"The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths."
"The solution's reports should be easy to understand and work with."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"While Check Point Infinity is a robust and innovative solution, some areas could benefit from improvement. One area is the user-friendly integration of privacy-focused features."
"The console at the beginning also has the section on where to save the logs, however, if by mistake we choose a very remote area, this detail cannot be corrected unless the change of data center where the logs are housed, which is requested through support, which can become a management difficulty."
"We'd like to see support for fiber connections."
"It can be made user-friendly, in the sense of the console is pretty outdated."
"There was a functionality of the solution that was missing. I had noticed it in Beyond Trust, but not in this solution. But, recently they have incorporated something similar."
"The major pain point that we have is the capacity of CyberArk due to the sheer volume of NPAs that we are managing. We are a large organization and we have hundreds of thousands of non-personal accounts to manage. We have already found out that there are certain capacity limitations within CyberArk that might introduce performance issues. From my perspective, something that would be valuable would be if the vault could hold more passwords and be more scalable."
"The initial setup was a bit complex."
"It needs better documentation with more examples for the configuration files and API/REST integration"
"It's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."
"Report creation could be improved. The policies could be more customized."
"The greatest area of improvement is with the user interface of the Password Vault Web Access component."
