Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are no issues with scalability. Our clients are very happy to use the product."
"We are utilizing CyberArk to secure applications, credentials, and endpoints."
"Central Password Manager is useful for agentless automated password management through AD integration as well as endpoints for different devices."
"The product is for hardening access and making the organization more secure, therefore reducing chances of a breach."
"I appreciate the ease of use for support analysts."
"I'm no longer the product owner for PAM, but I can say that the most useful feature is the vault functionality, which keeps all your passwords secure in a digital vault."
"We've written over a hundred custom connectors ourselves that allow us to do all types of privileged session management for various applications. On top of that, the rest of the API-based central credential providers allow us to get away from credentials that may be hard-coded in the script or some application."
"The regulation of accounts is by far the most needed and valuable part of the application."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"The solution is highly stable and scalable"
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."
"The admin interface of the Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) is moving from an old style (the classic interface) to a new style (the v10 interface) and unfortunately, this process is quite slow."
"We don't often contact technical support, but when we do it, the response could be faster and better."
"If you are an administrator or architect, then the solution is kind of complicated, as it is mostly focused on the end user. So, they need to also focus on the people who are implementing it."
"Over the past seven years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs with the product."
"The turnaround time for technical support is lengthy."
"The product is very vaulting-focused. I'd love to see it expanding its capabilities a bit further into areas like just-in-time elevation, and access with non-vaulted credentials."
"The Vault's disaster recovery features need improvement."
"The scalability, sometimes, is lacking. It works really well for more static environments... But for an environment where you're constantly spinning up new infrastructure or new endpoints, sometimes it has a hard time keeping up."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
