Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of stability, there are no complaints.""Previously, we used to share passwords for service and normal admin accounts among team members. However, since we started managing it through the product, we've transitioned to individual admin accounts or implemented dual control for shared accounts. With dual control, exclusive checking and checkout options are available, and passwords are not stored in clear text anywhere in the credentials.""We use the solution for password vaulting, password rotation, session management, and secret management.""CyberArk's GUI is user friendly.""It's highly secure and very flexible. It gives us all types of storage options and it gives us a high level of security.""PSM enables after-hours monitoring.""The tool has safe vaults. We keep our passwords in the Vault. The tool’s recording feature is also valuable for us.""CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."

More CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault Pros →

"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords.""Support is helpful.""The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable.""Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network.""I really like the zero trust piece.""Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups.""The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature.""I like that you can change the password remotely."

Cons
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's deployment is complex for resources with little experience. Tech support needs to be improved as well based on quality and knowledge.""The price is high compared to Azure Key Vault. It's the most expensive solution.""We should be able to join small components.""To get it to a ten it should give other possibilities to select if you could follow the keystrokes. It should have a flexibility with things where people can use it a lot faster.""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.""Enhanced PSM support for Java based applications.""The technical support is very poor.""CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's GUI has certain shortcomings that need improvement."

More CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault Cons →

"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM.""Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better.""I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring).""As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned.""Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution.""This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments.""Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment.""What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."

    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.
