Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."Allows secure, logged access to highly sensitive servers and services."
"Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
"CyberArk has the ability to change the credentials on every platform."
"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."
"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."
"CyberArk has been easy for us to implement and the adoption has been good. We've been able to standardize a bunch of things. We've been able to standardize relatively easily with the use of the platforms and managing the policies."
"The combination of CPM and PSM resolves a lot of use cases."
"The solution is stable."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"A very robust product."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"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 initial setup was a bit complex."
"CyberArk has a lot on the privileged access side but they have to concentrate more on the application side as well."
"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."
"The scalability, sometimes, is lacking. It works really well for more static environments... But for an environment where you're constantly spinning up new infrastructure or new endpoints, sometimes it has a hard time keeping up."
"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."
"Its pricing is a big challenge here. When it started, the product came in at a very low cost. Now, they are the leaders in the market, so the cost has grown and is quite huge."
"We would, of course, always prefer it if the pricing was cheaper."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
"This is not a next-generation firewall."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"The SD card could be more secure."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
