Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can do both server and endpoint protection.""CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) 's most valuable feature is its ability to manage user application privileges and protect against ransomware attacks by controlling access to specific files and applications.""I have always found that CyberArk is a very tight, foolproof product compared to most other products available.""You can use it to strip users of their local admin rights and, at the same time, elevate applications for them.""The solution is scalable.""The solution's technical support is good.""Users can scale the solution.""We were able to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which helped to simplify our privileged access management environment."

"The solution is useful for security purposes.""The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response.""The product interacts well with other Sophos products we have.""The product’s ease of deployment is its best feature.""The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response.""It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.""It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically.""Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."

Cons
"We have had some major issues with the tool, but we have worked with the R&D teams and we have worked with support. There is room for improvement, especially on response times. But they're working on it and they're doing the best they can.""The product needs a streamlined user interface; improvements to the user interface can enhance user experience and make the solution more intuitive to navigate.""It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage.""The solution is very expensive.""It is hard to deal with technical support if you are not certified.""Performance could be better. We have a couple of problems with CyberArk right now. One of the problems is performance in our environment. Support also takes a long time to respond. If the user already has local admin rights, then I can't collect any events in the console from this device. There are also some options in CyberArk that are not working properly, and are not helpful in this case. I can't collect any information to create a proper policy for the device. I have to investigate everything manually, or even disable the local admin from the device. I can collect the events only after this, and it's very time consuming. In my case, it's a waste of resources.""CyberArk has some performance issues. For example, servers could not handle the solution when we first took CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager.""The solution's pricing could be better."

More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager Cons →

"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use.""The solution lacks technical support.""The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset.""The management console need improvement.""The update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good.""From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization.""The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques.""The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
  • "I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."
  • "Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
  • "The cost for CyberArk is very high."
  • "The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."
  • "The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
  • "We pay about $17 per user."
  • "CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
  • More CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."
  • "The pricing for this solution is ok."
  • "It may be possible to negotiate licensing cost based on volume."
