Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."We are utilizing CyberArk to secure applications, credentials, and endpoints."
"The automatic rotation of credentials is probably the most useful feature."
"Central Password Manager is useful for agentless automated password management through AD integration as well as endpoints for different devices."
"This is a complete solution that can detect cyber attacks well."
"We like it for the ability to automatically change passwords. At least for my group, that's the best thing."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is privileged threat analytics."
"It gives us the capability to rotate passwords."
"The password vault and session monitoring are useful."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"I prefer the passing tool that sent an active directory console to a Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, then Fortinet FortiAuthenticator does not pass the locks."
"FortiAuthenticator is really good software that integrates very well with Fortinet products."
"Fulfilled our requirement at a good price."
"The first valuable feature is being able to see everything on one platform. This includes logs and authentication failure."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"FortiAuthenticator is easy to use."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution should be able to mitigate internal threats"
"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."
"We would, of course, always prefer it if the pricing was cheaper."
"It can be integrated with other systems, but it is not easy to integrate. It takes too long to integrate it. Its integration should be easier and simpler."
"CyberArk has a lot on the privileged access side but they have to concentrate more on the application side as well."
"The initial setup of CyberArk is a challenge if you do not have prior experience with it."
"If there is an area that has room for improvement, it's probably working with their support and getting people on the phone. That is hard to do with most products in general, but that seems to be the difficult area. The product is fantastic, but sometimes we want somebody on the phone."
"Their post-sale support area requires a big improvement. Customers cannot automate tickets directly with CyberArk. They have to come through the distributor or bring in partners who have access to the support portal. Basically, the support for post-sales implementation is there, but the role of CyberArk is very minimal. Customers have to rely on partners, which sometimes creates issues. Some of the vendors help you during the implementation process, but the CyberArk support team does not do that. They have 24/7 support for our region, but they help only if there is an emergency or there is a problem with their system. If the password vault is down or the system is down, they provide immediate attention. For almost everything else, they take more time to respond. They give low priority to service-related or migration-related questions."
"Other features that would improve the product are a single sign-on where people can use their Gmail ID to log-in, etc."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"The hardware aspect of the solution could be improved. We are not really able to understand the hardware capabilities of the device."
"There is room for improvement in stability and support."
"The only way the solution could be improved is if it were cheaper."
"I would like to see more ways to authenticate, such as adding facial recognition to the two-factor, where you log into your phone or another device."
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
