We used Thycotic in the past. Thycotic is a very basic password manager that did not provide the features we were looking for. The GUI wasn't too great, there wasn't much of reporting/monitoring, and the amin level management of thycotic was cumbersome.

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.

Pros
  • Managing Service Accounts. We like using CyberArk for using it when we need to remote into certain systems and the password is stored on CyberArk.
  • Managing Privileged Accounts. It allows our IT personal to use their privileged accounts without having to remember their passwords. It also keeps our staff compliant with complexities with passwords.
  • Using CyberArk as a jump host has saved us on licensing issues. It's also easy to use when needing to remote in and automatically signing you in.

Cons
  • The initial product cost is a little on the higher side, which might turn off small & medium enterprises.
  • As it talks about security, it has a lot of hardware/software requirements for the initial setup, which might make the rollout timeline a little lengthy.
  • Product should be easy to customize based on different industry's needs.

Usability
I think CyberArk is a great product and there are many different modules to incorporate. There are many great feature sets available right out of the box and you feel safer just implementing some of the basics. The more features you implement the better the product performs. There are definitely some implementation hurdles, but typically they are too difficult to figure out.

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
