    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.

    [Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter)] does very well for internal scanning for vulnerabilities, however it needs to be combined with Tenable.io in order to do cloud scanning.

    Pros
    Cyberark
    • 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
    Cyberark
    • 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)

    • Centralized vulnerability management with sensors.
    • Network health assessment and Incident response.
    • For alerting or notification, it should also support the SMS gateway.

    Usability
    Cyberark
    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.

    We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud with theirs. Tenable io product as well.
