We use CyberArk across our IT department to manage passwords to privileged accounts. We also use it to manage non-rotating passwords to applications that require administrator-level access.
It solved for:
1. Rotation of passwords while maintaining the minimum requirements for the password. We automatically rotate admin-role passwords after x number of days and maintain complexity.
2. Password storage: Due to the cross-collaborative environment, we needed a location to store passwords for different applications.
3. Different Safes: Not all passwords should be seen by others - the concept of safes in Cyberark helped with RBA type control.
4. Monitoring/Alerting/Reporting

4. Monitoring/Alerting/Reporting
- Password segregation via RBAC
- Rotation of passwords
- View/reconcile/Verify passwords
- Options to store passwords
- 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)

We currently use CyberArk across the whole organization. We use it to manage our privileged accounts and our service accounts. It is also used for recording sessions that our Non-IT staff use when remoting into a server.
- 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.
- I'm not sure what could be done differently. There are some things that were once an issue that are no longer an issue. For instance, creating a short cut on the desktop for RDP through CyberArk. Since the upgrade and updates, we are now able to save shortcuts to our desktop.

We utilize CyberArk for privileged account management for sensitive and shared accounts across our technology organization. We utilize it for local admin passwords across multiple datacenters as well as any other set of credentials that might be utilized by multiple people. We use it to control, monitor and govern sensitive account usages and to ensure that nobody knows the password as much of the time as is possible.
- 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.
- It can be hard to work with the native back end vault which is reduced and hardened OS with minimal operating capabilities.
- Reporting could be better.

CyberArk Privileged Account Security helps a lot to maintain security by automatically changing passwords for our supported systems.
It also stores and manages passwords company-wide. That's really making admins lives' much easier. Also rarely used passwords are in one place and you don't have to search for them a long time. CyberArk itself can be secured by AD authentication combined with RAS two-factor authentication.

- storing password safely
- storing passwords in one central place
- "remembering" a password for a whole team and/or single persons
- securing access to certain passwords by groups or team
- performance is sometimes not very fast, but acceptable
- look and feel is a bit "old looking"

We are using CyberArk to manage the privilege accounts in our organization. It is being used by a specific department that deals with critical data sources.
- Identify and reduce the number of privileged accounts
- Eliminate shared/service accounts having non-expiring passwords
- Automatically changing privileged account passwords
- Automate password verification and reconciliation
- Frequently identify, change and verify hardcoded passwords
- Connect Target Systems directly without displaying passwords to users
- 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.

CyberArk is a great means to access and securely store passwords for a remote support team or third-party vendors. The version control and access controls help with analyzing who is accessing what and when, while having strong delegation controls. This is particularly helpful with providing access to other users or administrators to systems that may require temporary access or to a vendor to access when troubleshooting.
- The user interface is intuitive and easy to use.
- The local server/workstation account management is great with the ability to remove local admin accounts but still leverage admin privileges.
- Prevents unauthorized access and meets security requirements and allowing for robust and detailed reporting and audit logs.
- The copy button in a web-browser requires an add-on to the browser. The feature should be included without the add-on.
- Forced purchase of re-branded dell servers as account vaults is terrible.
- Reports are ok but requires some expertise to export data into a better reporting DB.
Cyber Ark is being used across the entire enterprise. It is used for administration credential protection and application integration to protect secrets and service accounts. This solution is solving the business problem of ensuring our most sensitive access is protected and we have a strong audit tool for when credentials are used.
- Credential Vaulting
- Application Integration
- Auditing
- There needs to be a better strategy and integration on the application development secret protection
- High availability needs to be a constant focus
It is used to check out highly privileged accounts with a randomized password. Being scaled to entire organization. It solves the problem of highly privileged accounts with a static password. If one of the accounts is compromised the password has an expiration and minimizes the amount of damage that can be done by limiting the time the account is active.
- Randomizes passwords
- Scales to enteprise level
- Keeps admins in check
- License model
- The vault is difficult to patch, because it cannot have your normal patching agents on it
- On going costs are high
