"The voice technology is very good."
"I like the integrations for external applications."
"All access to our servers by both staff and vendors is monitored and recorded."

This flexibility allows us to integrate with systems that we previously didn't consider integrating with, making it a significant advantage for us."
"Lessens the risk with privileged access."
"HelpSystems Powertech's feature that I have found most valuable is its flexibility. It is able to be extended. A lot of the products these days, especially the ones on the cloud, are limited and can't handle all the use cases. Often there is not even a way to customize the application to meet uncommon use cases and HelpSystems provides an infrastructure that lends itself to the ability to be customized."
"They can do a better job in the PSM space."
"There is a learning curve when it comes to planning out the deployment strategy, but once it is defined, it runs itself."
"It can be integrated with other systems, but it is not easy to integrate. It takes too long to integrate it. Its integration should be easier and simpler."
"CyberArk PAM could greatly benefit from an under-the-hood update; integrating machine learning algorithms could provide predictive insights."
"Report creation could be improved. The policies could be more customized."
"The turnaround time for technical support is lengthy."
"CyberArk has to continue to evolve with that threat landscape to make sure that they're still protecting those credentials that are owned by those that have privileged accounts in the firms."
"Over the past seven years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs with the product."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the support of the product. It's hard to get support for it. I think this is emblematic of the fact that they don't have a lot of employees who have long-term experience with it."
