"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the vault. I am satisfied with the interface and the documentation."
"Right off the bat, the most valuable feature is the DNA scan. It gives us the ability to scan our environment and find the accounts that we're going to need to take under control."
"We are able to rotate privileged user passwords to eliminate fraudulent use."
"If any intruder gets inside, they would not be able to move around nor do lateral movements. It minimize any attack problems within our network."
"You can gradually implement CyberArk, starting with more easily attainable goals."
"Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
"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."
"It allows users to self-provision access to the accounts that they need."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"Over the past seven years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs with the product."
"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."
"They need to provide better training for the System Integrator."
"What could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the licensing model. It should be more flexible in terms of the users. Currently, it's based on the number of users, but many users only log in once in four months or once in five months. It would be great if the licensing model could be modified based on user needs. We even have users who have not logged in even once."
"The initial setup of CyberArk is a challenge if you do not have prior experience with it."
"We found a lot of errors during the initial setup. They should work to improve the implementation experience and to remove errors from the process."
"One of our current issues is a publishing issue. If we whitelist Google Chrome, all the events of Google Chrome should be gone. It is not happening."
"It can be made user-friendly, in the sense of the console is pretty outdated."
