Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."The most valuable feature of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is privileged threat analytics."
"I really like the PTA (Privileged Threat Analytics). I find this the best feature."
"There are no issues with scalability. Our clients are very happy to use the product."
"It has the ability to scale out. We have scaled out quite a bit with our product and use of it to get to multiple locations and businesses, so it has the breadth to do that."
"We are able to rotate privileged user passwords to eliminate fraudulent use."
"It enables us to secure accounts and make sure they are compliant."
"I found it valuable that CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be integrated with PTA (privileged threat analytics), and this means that it will tell you if there's a risk to the logins and signs of risk and if risky behavior is observed. It's a good feature. Another good feature is the CPM (central password manager) because it helps you rotate the passwords automatically without involving the admins. It can go and update the scheduled tasks and the services. At the same time, if there's an application where it cannot do all of these, CPM will trigger an automatic email to the application owners, telling them that they should go ahead and change the password. This allows you to manage the account password that CyberArk cannot manage, which helps mitigate the risk of old passwords, where the password gets compromised, and also allows you to manage the security of the domain."
"We are maintaining compliance in PCI, SOX and HIPPA, which is a big thing. Auditors really like it, and it has made us stay compliant."
"I work a lot with Fortinet products and I call the support often. They are very quick to respond and the support is very good."
"We have a perpetual license for 2FA."
"It integrates very tightly with the rest of the Fortinet ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"Intuitive interface and easy to deploy."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"For someone concerned with multifactor authentication, I'm satisfied with the product."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is an easy-to-use solution."
"The one place where we found that this product really needs to improve is the cloud. Simple integrations don't exist, even today. We don't have anything specific on CyberArk for managing, SaaS products, SaaS vendors, SaaS credentials. I understand it's a vendor-based thing and that they have to coordinate with the other vendors to be able to do that, and there are integrations coming. But these are the major places where CyberArk definitely needs to invest some more time."
"Initially, there was a lot of hiccups, because there were a lot of transitions due to manual installations."
"We had an issue with the Copy feature... Apparently, in version 10, that Copy feature does not work. You actually have to click Show and then copy the password from within Show and then paste it. We've had a million tickets and we had to figure out a workaround to it."
"Areas the product could be improved are in some of the reporting capabilities and how the reports are configured."
"The current interface is not very intuitive."
"PAM could be more user-friendly and CyberArk could update the documentation to include more real-world examples. You have to learn it yourself through trial and error. In particular, the online documentation should have more information about troubleshooting."
"More additional features as far as the REST is concerned, because we have something which was the predecessor to REST. A lot of the features which were in the predecessor have not necessarily been ported over to REST yet."
"The major pain point that we have is the capacity of CyberArk due to the sheer volume of NPAs that we are managing. We are a large organization and we have hundreds of thousands of non-personal accounts to manage. We have already found out that there are certain capacity limitations within CyberArk that might introduce performance issues. From my perspective, something that would be valuable would be if the vault could hold more passwords and be more scalable."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"They could expand FortiAuthenticator's capabilities to accommodate a broader range of environments."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"No SMS gateway from the ISP"
"We had issues trying to integrate the keys properly during the initial setup."
"I don't have any issues with this solution, but it may need a better, more user-friendly interface or better design of the platform."
