Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
"Central Password Manager is useful for agentless automated password management through AD integration as well as endpoints for different devices."
"CyberArk has the ability to change the credentials on every platform."
"Technical support is very helpful whenever we have any questions."
"It is useful for protecting passwords. If you need to do access security management, you can first use the CyberArk console, and after that, you can connect the firewall interface or firewall command line. Similarly, if you need to do an RDP session, you need to first log in to CyberArk before connecting to the Windows RDP session. This way, the admin doesn't know the password, and that password is changed immediately. To change the password, you first discover the old password in the network, and after that, you can change the password."
"It has helped us with our adoption with other teams, and it has also helped us to integrate it at the ground level."
"CyberArk has allowed us to get the credentials and passwords out of hard-coded property files."
"For a while, there were individual IDs having privileged access. We wanted to restrict that. We implemented the solution so that it can be more of internal control. We can have session recordings happening and reduce our attacks."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"If you are an administrator or architect, then the solution is kind of complicated, as it is mostly focused on the end user. So, they need to also focus on the people who are implementing it."
"It can be made user-friendly, in the sense of the console is pretty outdated."
"For users to access a system via CyberArk Privileged Session Manager, a universal connector needs to be coded in a language called AutoIT and its support for web browsers is so-so. Other products like Centrify have browser plugins that can help automate the process when using their products."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"It should be easy to use for non-technical people. Its interface can be a bit difficult. Some parts of its interface are not very intuitive. Some of the controls are hidden, and instead of having a screen with all the controls for that account on it, you have to use menus and other similar things."
"Initially, there was a lot of hiccups, because there were a lot of transitions due to manual installations."
"As they grow, the technical support is having growing pains. One of the things is just being able to get somebody on the phone sometimes."
"The current interface doesn't scale that well, and has some screens still in the old layout."
"The product is very complicated."
