CyberArk Privileged Access Management vs. Transmit Security CIAM Platform

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.

Transmit Security hides nicely in the taskbar until needed. It works behind the scenes. It is seamlessly integrated into the Macs functionality. Transmit Security has helped us keep our systems secure while helping make our job easier all round. We would not change it for anything else now. It is our go-to FTP client.

• 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)

• Updates were not happening as often, but that could be because they were not needed.
• Some settings were being lost and had to be re-entered, but that has since been resolved.
• Interface has improved tremendously since first it launched.

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

It has seldom been we needed any support with Transmit Security, but when we did, they were on it. We got help in minutes rather than hours or days like other suppliers in this marketplace. Indeed, their support convinced us in the beginning that we had made the right decision.

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.
