Overall Satisfaction with CyberArk Privileged Account Security

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
  • Positive - environment is much more secure
  • Negative - need highly trained engineers to maintain it
  • Negative is ongoing costs
CyberArk is better in every possible way. ERPM is engineered for a workstation model. It treats directories like they are computers with a lot of local accounts. Also many settings are universal, so it is either on or off. You cannot customize a checkout time per account is an example.
It works well when an organization needs to keep track and randomize admin accounts. Also, it works better than LAPS for local workstation admin account management. It will allow for more than just one account. The auditing is robust vs. LAPS. Not a good solution for a small business. Too big of a tool for that scenario.
