Overall Satisfaction with CyberArk Privileged Access Management

I have used CyberArk Privileged Access Management to manage all Windows local administrator accounts and all UNIX root accounts for servers. We were an organization that used to have the same password for all servers, and it was not very secure. We also use this solution to manage database, ILOs, websites, etc...

Pros

  • Managing local administrator accounts for Windows Servers
  • Managing local root accounts for Unix Servers
  • Managing service accounts for Windows Servers
  • Managing IIS Application pool passwords for Windows web servers.

Cons

  • The management of Safes could be a little more simplistic.
  • Creating custom connection components are sometimes tricky.
  • Setting up remote vendors can be a little cumbersome.
  • It has made local servers much more secure and helps with prevent horizontal attacks.
  • Cyberark is easy to scale up once the software is in place and setup.
  • The high initial investment and complex setup is a negative impact.
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.
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.

I would highly recommend user CyberArk for managing local root and administrator accounts. I also think it does a great job creating secure connection to remote devices and being able to record the session for audit purposes.

Setting up management for various websites can be difficult if there isn't an already pre-built connection component created in the community market. It can still be created, but takes a lot of time to troubleshoot.
