CyberArk Privileged Access Management vs. ManageEngine PAM360

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.

What our company likes the most about this product is the fact that our users can also store their own credentials in this tool without sharing them with other users--as well as its high level of database encryption. This is really a great product that you should have, which has all the basic functionality for password management.

• 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

• Providing preventive and detective security controls through approval workflows and real-time alerts on password access
• Meeting security audits and regulatory compliance
• Improving IT productivity many times by automating frequent password changes required in critical systems

Incentivized

• 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)

Incentivized

• Improve the privilege access monitoring analytics feature to identify the fraud activities better

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

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.
