    If you are looking for something relatively inexpensive to lock down specific computers, it would be a useful tool. If the computers themselves aren't too locked down, implementation and management shouldn't be too difficult.

    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.

    Pros
    ContentWatch
    • The client is relatively light weight and doesn't impact other applications.
    • The client isn't easily bypassed, so the user's are kept under restrictions.
    • The configuration is relatively simple and easy to deploy.

    • 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.

    Cons
    ContentWatch
    • Our primary policy is a restricted list, so that does as advertised. We had one location that had blocks based on categories (adult, illegal, etc). We continually had issues with sites getting completely blocked due to unrelated content. For example, Yahoo had a beer ad on the page, alcohol was blocked, so Yahoo became blocked for the period of time that ad was displayed. We had this happen multiple times and eventually switched to a different solution at that location.
    • I've had issues with their cloud portal not working. I don't have to edit our configuration often, but on numerous occasions, i was unable to get the configuration page to load after login, sometimes for days. The platform just wasn't stable when I needed it to be.
    • We run many of our remote rooms as frozen (after logoff they reset to the image). This works fine most times, but when content protect needs a configuration change pushed down, someone needs to go 'thaw' the computers, download the updated configuration, and re-'freeze' the computer. It would be nice if that information was just dynamic from the cloud and didn't need to be pulled down.
    • The categorization used for policies is very limited and not flexible or easily customizable.
    • I could never get the usage reporting to work.

    • 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)

    It’s very usable once the complexity of deployment has completed. It is a useful tool that is easy to learn and the user interface is laid out well. It works with SSO for our organization which makes secure login very fast as well. It works well across our need of on premises systems and cloud very quickly.

    I've been an engineer and architect in the Identity space for many years and CyberArk is the #1 tool I've found to help me secure accounts and credentials. I've architected CyberArk and built the implementation from the ground up twice in previous roles and found it here upon my arrival at my current job. I wouldn't want to have to live without it as it helps me sleep at night

    At the time ContentProtect was selected, Forcepoint (Websense at the time) didn't have an inexpensive or cloud type product. The same can be said with Cisco, at that time. Recently, we have reevaluated and are going to be transitioning to Forcepoint's mobile client and removing ContentProtect from our environment. The cost is actually now less and we will be able to get both more dynamic control and also give us more detailed reporting on the traffic from clients.

    These other vendors have most of the safe features, but there were some things that I think CyberArk performed better while evaluating the other solutions. AWS secret manager was not available in one of the products and this was definitely needed in my environment. Also, bulk loading of accounts had a lot more flexibility in CyberArk than the other solutions. They offer both API and GUI options where the other vendors may not offer both.

    Return on Investment
    ContentWatch
    • It was a relatively inexpensive and simple solution when we needed one relatively quickly, which is a positive. The inexpensive price has kept it in the environment.
    • The lack of reliable reporting has lead to the need for an alternate monitoring solution in a few cases. Network level reporting was used, which is a separate expense, configuration.
    • Time has been lost waiting on the portal and then troubleshooting support tickets when sites that shouldn't have been blocked have been blocked. It has resulted in changes for locations that needed dynamic category filtering as opposed to a finite list.
    • The blocking of sites based on add traffic or sub-sites (rather than just blocking that content like other solutions) has resulted in downtime during classes when those sites were listed in the lesson plan and had previously worked.
