One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications.

"I would like to see is the policy export and import. When we expend, we do not want to just hand do a policy."
"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."
"There is a learning curve when it comes to planning out the deployment strategy, but once it is defined, it runs itself."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could improve the integration docking, it should have more layers. For example, integration with OpenShift."

"I'm not a fan of technical support with CyberArk. It's like jumping through red tape and hoops. Quite frankly, it's almost like when you call CyberArk you get the Help Desk or the level-one. I'm a level-one. I got the CCD, I know how to do the initial troubleshooting. When I call CyberArk it's because I can't figure the problem out. So I need a level-two, three, four. I don't need you to tell me, "Hey, open a ticket and then give me logs.""
"It's a big program. To scale excessively, locally, on an on-prem application, takes a lot of servers."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"Technical support could be improved."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Its technical support could be better."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
