It is easy to scale on the cloud. It is difficult to expand it on-premises. 

We have 30 people using the solution in my company.

At this point, we do not have plans to increase usage.

It is a scalable solution.

We upgraded the solution even though we had subscribed to the product for ten years in our company. In our company, we wanted around 50 employees to be able to operate the solution.

It is a highly scalable solution.

My company has around 500 uses of the solution and 3,000 to 4,000 accounts, which can be scaled up to 10,000 or 15,000 accounts.

My company does not have plans to increase the usage of the solution.

Senior Leader at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

The scalability of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is okay. The distributive vault is what would affect the scalability and there were some issues with that that I've run into.

We only have a small number of users in the current company I am working at, and the previous company I was working for had hundreds of users using the solution. 

We do not plan to increase the usage of this solution.

CyberArk is highly scalable. You don't need to worry about being dependent on only one server because you can deploy to multiple ones and manage it with all of them. If one fails, you can still use your access, so I think it's scalable.

We aren't using the solution extensively, but we plan to expand, and we'll definitely we'll continue with the same solution.

I would say there are scalability issues. After the solution is deployed, resizing it is difficult. Therefore, proper sizing at the planning stage is important.

PAM Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

CyberArk is very scalable. It's one of the things that I love and it's also one of the things that I hate about CyberArk.

For example, it's a standalone vault that is practically uncrackable. If you want to do a password rotation you need to have a central password manager. It's called a CPM.

If you want session recordings you have to have a PSM. They can be run on the same server, but eventually, the performance is going to be an extensive task. 

A CPM is performing verification on passwords continuously, and to start stacking server roles on top of each other. 

If you're a semi-vault in a small environment, with one server running CPM, PSM, and PDWA all on one box, it would be no problem with less than 10 administrators and only 70 servers.

With other small or larger organizations that have hundreds of servers rendering that capability or that flexibility, you would have to have a dedicated CPM and dedicated PDWAs, which is the administrator web interface.

For a medium-sized company where you want to do a session recording for all the administrator access, it will cause a problem. It will require multiple PSM servers and if you don't have a good administrator who documents the build process well, or they don't update it, then the problem shows when you build a new PSM. If they don't add all the applications to it then you're going to get an intermittent error across the low-balanced PFMs, where eight of the ten work, but two of them don't because they didn't install the SFQL agent. It's a very complex program, albeit very scalable.

If you're a multinational corporation, you can have your vault in one location and have PSMs distributed where the systems are in the data centers. Then, the PDWAs and the CPMs would be in the data centers and you would have the PDWAs where the user populations are. Rather than having one single appliance or one single box that does everything, you end up having boxes distributed all over. This means that they have to do synchronization and it works out very well most times.

We have small to large company clients. We have clients that have tens of thousands of administrative accounts and 1000 or so servers, to clients as small as having 70 servers with maybe only 750 to 1500 accounts.

I didn't think we'd be here. However, it's incredibly scalable. We are able to use it in two different environments: one is IT and one is OT. And the scalability, as a whole, has been able to translate to an enterprise-wide process, so it's been really great to see. We're hoping that, should we acquire anything or divest something, it would be that easy to actually deal with it in terms of scalability.

I have not encountered any scalability issues; we have actually scaled down since the new releases. Where previously we had CPMs & PVWAs throughout the world, we now have load-balanced CPMs and PVWAs in just two locations.

I've only used it for a few months, so it's hard for me to say how scalable Password Vault is. Those who've used it longer and deployed it on more endpoints could answer that question better.
