Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."I love the ability to customize the passwords: the forbidden characters, the length of the password, the number of capital, lowercase, and special characters. You can customize the password so that it tailor fits, for example, mainframes that can't have more than eight characters. You can say, "I want a random password that doesn't have these special characters, but it is exactly eight characters," so that it doesn't throw errors."
"The threat analytics is an important feature."
"It provides an accountability to the individuals who are using it, knowing that it is audited and tracked."
"PSM (Privilege Session Manager."
"Central Password Manager is useful for agentless automated password management through AD integration as well as endpoints for different devices."
"I find value in notifications from CyberArk when passwords fail verification and have other issues."
"AIM has been a great help in automating password retrieval which removes the need for hard-coded credentials."
"The voice technology is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the dashboards and their visibility, easy configuration, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the reports are very important and helpful."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is the best solution from the perspective of email security."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The setup was easy."
"Its anti-phishing functionality is the most valuable. Certainly, the biggest problem I have is phishing."
"There is no downtime."
"As a cloud-based product, it can scale well."
"The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."
"Over the past seven years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs with the product."
"The tool’s pricing and scalability can be better."
"The turnaround time for technical support is lengthy."
"The authentication port is available in CyberArk Alero but not Fortinet products."
"There is some stuff that we still have not fully integrated, which is our AIM solution. We are having all types of issues with it. I have been working with Level 3 support on it, but otherwise, from a functionality perspective, everything has been working except for the AIM solution."
"Initially, there was a lot of hiccups, because there were a lot of transitions due to manual installations."
"Some aspects of the administration need improvement, though they have recently made improvements to the API. However, the management with the interface and configuration are not so user-friendly. It has not changed much during all the years that CyberArk has been on the market. The management part, like platform management as well as PSM connectors definition and management, could be improved, even if it has already been done with the API."
"Proofpoint Email Protection has a new approach to email security with its API feature. Currently, it only works with Office 365. In the future, it would be beneficial if it also works with Gmail, as Check Point is currently the only brand that has API email security for Gmail. It would be beneficial if Proofpoint Email Protection could add this integration, they would be more competitive with other vendors."
"The accessibility of Proofpoint Email Protection, particularly access to product trials, could be improved. It's hard to get a trial for Proofpoint Email Protection, and many customers prefer not just to do the POC or demo but try the product out."
"The stability and UI are the two areas of the solution with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution should add post-sales training."
"Proofpoint has a lot of false alarms."
"The largest complaint that we hear from our customers is that there is no local support."
"The false positives are an issue."
