Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can write different types of policies for custom business needs or any developer needs. If they need certain functions allocated, they can be customized easily."
"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 technical support for this solution is very good. If I was to rate it on a scale of one to five, I would give it a five."
"The ability to develop and deploy applications with no stored secrets is very valuable."
"Our go-to solution for securing against the pass the hash attack vector and auditing privileged account usage."
"We can make a policy that affects everybody instantly."
"It takes people out of the machine work of ensuring credentials remain up-to-date, and handles connection brokering such that human usage and credential management remain independent."
"We are able to know who is accessing what and when; having accountability."
"The solution is simple to use."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The admin interface of the Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) is moving from an old style (the classic interface) to a new style (the v10 interface) and unfortunately, this process is quite slow."
"The initial setup of CyberArk is a challenge if you do not have prior experience with it."
"It should be easy to use for non-technical people. Its interface can be a bit difficult. Some parts of its interface are not very intuitive. Some of the controls are hidden, and instead of having a screen with all the controls for that account on it, you have to use menus and other similar things."
"This product needs professional consulting services to onboard accounts effectively based user profiles."
"Over the past seven years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs with the product."
"In the beginning, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager didn't have a multifactor authentication feature, so that was an area for improvement, but now it's part of the solution. Having just one console for two CyberArk products would be good, particularly for the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and the CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, with the latter being a product for endpoint management that supports the workstations and allows you to manage workstations. In the next update of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, it would be good to have a local agent where you can manage all users and processes, and have an agent on the servers such as Linux and Windows."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"I'd like to see a more expansive SSH tunneling situation through PSMP. Right now you have an account that exists in the vault and you say, "I want to create a tunnel using this account." I'd like to see something that is not account-based where I could say, "I want to create a tunnel to this machine over here," and then authenticate through the PSMP and then your tunnel is set up. You wouldn't need to then authenticate to a machine."
"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
