BeyondTrust Privileged Identity (Legacy) vs. CyberArk Privileged Access Management

Works great in a Wiindows/Linux environments. Easy to roll out and especially easy to update. Account manager stays in touch often. Monthly training on the product is a plus.

The system is great for enterprise or larger IT departments or teams where temporary or full access may be given using privileged IDs. Requirements for needing local admin access is also eliminated which can help with specific Windows workstation related tasks. It can be very useful when working with remote teams or contractors who may need temporary access to a system when required.

• Manage local accounts of workstations and servers.
• The web interface is easy for users of RED to use.
• The shared password list is a very nice feature that allows users to store credentials that have to remain static.

Incentivized

• Automatically discover new servers on the network and take control of the local admin password by vaulting it and ensuring nobody knows the password. A different password on every server.
• Automatically roll the password in a configurable manner - after each use, after a certain period of time, etc.
• Track and govern sensitive account usage by ensuring only properly authorized users can access the vault and obtain the credentials and then monitor usage.

Incentivized

• Not as slick as CyberArk
• Training is free, but could use a lot of improvement
• Documentation needs refinement

• GUI - right now everything is on one page/dashboard. Some level of folder/Safe type view would be great
• More options when storing passwords - especially for network based passwords
• Better integrations with vendors like Cisco so that admins dont need to really get the password from the vault (think Last Pass type add on)

Customer support and technical support have always been great when we require assistance. Especially when we come across issues that we're not familiar with.

CyberARK is superior in every way. Lieberman RED was selected by upper management without consulting with technical employees

It is known as one of the safest products in the market. It has good support and is also available as on-premise. You can run it virtually on VMWare (and probably on other hypervisors as well). You can have a second instance on bare metal and that makes it a very safe system.
