"It is a central repository. Therefore, if someone needs to access a server, then they go through CyberArk PAM. It provides a secure way to do this and CyberArk PAM records everything. For example, if you are connecting to a Linux server, then once you get into the Linux server and if it is integrated with CyberArk, it will automatically start recording everything that is being done. In most banks, seeing the recordings is very useful. If there are any gaps or something has happened which shouldn't have happened, then we can check the logs and videos. So, it gives security, in a robust manner, to the organization."

"The regulation of accounts is by far the most needed and valuable part of the application."

"Within the solution, I love the fact that everything is recorded. The configuration capabilities are great, too."
"It is a scalable product."
"More integrations would be better."

"The user interface could be improved."

"One of our current issues is a publishing issue. If we whitelist Google Chrome, all the events of Google Chrome should be gone. It is not happening."
"The solution could improve by adding more connectors."
"I would like to see is the policy export and import. When we expend, we do not want to just hand do a policy."
"The Vault's disaster recovery features need improvement."
"The one place where we found that this product really needs to improve is the cloud. Simple integrations don't exist, even today. We don't have anything specific on CyberArk for managing, SaaS products, SaaS vendors, SaaS credentials. I understand it's a vendor-based thing and that they have to coordinate with the other vendors to be able to do that, and there are integrations coming. But these are the major places where CyberArk definitely needs to invest some more time."
"We would like to expand the usage of the auto discovery accounts feed, then on our end, tie in the REST API for automation."
"The initial setup has room for improvement to be more straightforward."
