Overall Satisfaction with CyberArk Privileged Account Security
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)
- It provided extra security for passwords in use and rotation of admin-level passwords.
- Complexity of passwords guranteed.
- Some basic integrations.
We used Thycotic in the past. Thycotic is a very basic password manager that did not provide the features we were looking for. The GUI wasn't too great, there wasn't much of reporting/monitoring, and the amin level management of thycotic was cumbersome.
In a department with cross collaboration, it was difficult to manage access. Folder structure inherited access information from parent folder - that could create additional challenges.
It also had no additional integrations.
