We performed a comparison between CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager and Fortinet FortiClient based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that it does lifecycle management and that it will change to whatever the end target is."
"The product is stable."
"We can do both server and endpoint protection."
"Users can scale the solution."
"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."
"I like that you can remove the admin rights from the user's computer and have control over the environment. That means you can delete the local admins and grant them proper privileges with the console. So, they will get proper permissions for applications they need, but we don't have to do it. In the domain where we don't have control, the user can only do specified actions, but not all of them."
"The password rotation and the session recording are the most valuable features."
"This is the number one product for privilege account security."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."
"The integration capabilities are good."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"Fortinet FortiClient is easy to use, and the single-access managed login is pretty good."
"It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides."
"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution."
"CyberArk meets clients' need very spot-on. It covers everything customers ask for. As for improvements, honestly, the feedback's been really positive. I haven't heard any specific areas that need work."
"The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is not suitable for the current situation because when you compare it to OTP, OTP is the strongest password solution. You can use it as a one-time password, but you have to log into the password manager itself and if you don't change your password, it will be the weakest link in the security. In OTP, you don't have that weakest link."
"The solution can be complex to use at times."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a perfect solution, but CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux has many issues. Another area for improvement in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, specifically for Windows, is that there's no way for you to check credential theft from a text file, such as a notepad file."
"They need much better integration with Azure AD."
"Technical support is slow to respond when we run into issues."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
