We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I haven't really thought about anything that I want to use it for, that I couldn't use it for.""Password Vault's main advantage is its scalability. We constantly see huge enterprises implementing something like this, and the privileged session management is an excellent piece. You can kind of watch videos of whatever an admin has done.""The most valuable feature is the special management. It records the activity and the actions that we use for auditing.""CyberArk probably has probably the best vault on the market because of the multiple layered security and each password getting its own encryption.""The password protection itself is the most important feature. It's something we didn't have before.""The tool has safe vaults. We keep our passwords in the Vault. The tool’s recording feature is also valuable for us.""Our most valuable features would probably be key rotation, the SKM or SSH key manager, and account discovery.""The password rotation and cyber gateway have been quite useful."

"I like Passportal's extensions. You can click the particular company you want and go through all the passwords and usernames associated with that company or the specific webpage you're on or their server or whatever. It's a whole lot faster.""Passportal is very stable."

Cons
"We require IAM (identify and access management) capability at the administrator level because we need more identification.""The license is expensive.""Having a cloud version would be very helpful. You have to invest a lot of money for the infrastructure hardware so the cloud version would help.""The architecture needs to be improved.""The initial setup can get complex.""What needs to be improved in CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is their customer support, particularly in terms of responsiveness, willingness to help, and being more understanding. The initial setup and upgrade process for the solution is complex and can only be done by CyberArk, so this is another area for improvement.""The interface could be improved it is not user-friendly, but they have improved but it could still improve. In the policies configuration, it would be a benefit to have more details.""CyberArk's license is too expensive. I rate it seven out of 10 for affordability."

"It goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else.""In the future, I would like the ability to have diagrams, such as those created by Visio, available directly in Passportal."

    Overview

    CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault, a vital component of the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager Solution (PAM), is designed to create, secure, rotate, and control access to privileged accounts and credentials used to access systems throughout an enterprise IT ecosystem. CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault enables enterprise organizations to better understand the scope of their privileged account risks and put controls in place to prevent malicious or inappropriate account or credential access.

    CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault uses a Central Policy Manager protocol (CPM) to perform the basic password management functions.

    • Verify Password Task - The CPM will pull the password from the vault and use it to log into the application or device to verify that the password is indeed correct and satisfies all the password safety protocols.
    • Change Password Task - The CPM will pull the password from the vault and create a new password that meets all preset protocols. It will send it to the device or application and then begin the process of changing it, using the same method that might be performed manually. The CPM will then update the password in the vault.
    • Reconcile Password Task - This task is utilized when there is a failure in either the Verify Password Task or the Change Password Task. Using a pre-established reconcile account from the vault, the CPM will use the reconcile account credentials to reset or fix problematic password issues due to changed passwords not being updated properly, new accounts being established, or any other failure with the above tasks.

    Enterprise organizations can utilize the easily adaptable policies and protocols to enforce granular privileged access controls, automate workflows, and rotate passwords at prescribed regular intervals without requiring any manual IT effort. Additionally, to satisfy compliance regulations, organizations can easily generate reports to prove that passwords are being changed regularly according to guidelines, meet strict password safety protocols, and report on which users accessed what privileged accounts, when, why, and what device they were using. Enterprise organizations can know at all times that data has remained secure at all times. CyberArk Password Vault will have enterprise organizations audit-ready at all times, keeping them safe and secure from risks while maximizing productivity and profitability.
