"The platform has a valuable feature for seamless integration."

"PSM enables after-hours monitoring."
"Session monitoring is excellent. It may be the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Super stable and easy to scale"
"I haven't really thought about anything that I want to use it for, that I couldn't use it for."
"Thus far I can say technical support is excellent. We haven't had any issues or difficulties."
"Service count rotation is probably one of my favorite features... The ability to automatically rotate any password I need to really helps with the entire enterprise strategy that we're pushing right now."
"Password Vault's policy configuration is very good - when you receive an attack, you can segment the structure of the project in order to isolate parts or users."
"They should add a key vault feature for the databases temporarily integrated into hybrid clouds."
"Sometimes it takes too long to retrieve the keys. The authentication process takes time."
"If the region where the Azure Key Vault data center is hosted goes down, it would be a cumbersome task since our company will have to come up with a different Azure Key Vault and migrate all the secrets or keys into it."
"The solution's usage can be a little better from the user interface point of view."
"The integration with Thales HSM is complex and is not out-of-the-box. Uploading the keys was quite a tedious process."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"The big problem with Azure Key Vault is key rotation. We haven't found a good way to synchronize the credentials between the databases and Key Vault."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"There is a little bit of confusion in the implementation part, especially when one tries to understand the actual working of the product."
"I think they can improve account onboarding. For instance, you have to use the Password Vault utility, whereas in Thycotic I think there is a feature in the user interface that allows you to upload your account with an Excel file. So I'd like to have a similar thing in CyberArk."
"The installation process should be easier and more user-friendly so that you don't need to hire a third party to deploy it."
"The tool needs to improve its usage and interface. They need to have a modern and useful interface. I want the product to improve its integration capabilities as well since some of the integration features do not work always."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do. I know if you do that, you add more knobs and dials to deal with, but that's just my personal approach: granular access."
"The session monitoring and recording feature is also a good feature feature, but we're currently experiencing an issue with session monitoring not working correctly. We're working with CyberArk to resolve it. We aren't able to view active sessions or historical recordings of sessions."
"In the next release, they could simplify the setup and I would like some tasks added like file sharing. When a client connects to CyberArk and wants to put a file on the server, they cannot."
"There was a situation when one of our presidents had an issue, but I can't recall the specifics."
