A highly scalable solution with good features, like session recording
What is our primary use case?
My company uses CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault for our servers and when our IT partners try to access our mission critical systems. We have also integrated the product with software tools used for authentication purposes. Our company's IT uses LDAP credentials to log in to the PVWA application while also being able to use granted privileges on one or more servers.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is session recording.
What needs improvement?
There is a little bit of confusion in the implementation part, especially when one tries to understand the actual working of the product. The ones involved in the implementation of the product did not show the people in our company how they work on the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault for a year and six months. The product is used in my company. I use CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault Version 12.0. I am a customer of the product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
We upgraded the solution even though we had subscribed to the product for ten years in our company. In our company, we wanted around 50 employees to be able to operate the solution.
How are customer service and support?
From my end, I have not used technical support. I don't know if my colleagues have faced any problems because of which they had to contact technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation took place over a period of three months.
The solution is deployed on-premises.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is a very expensive product.
I believe that the charges for maintenance and support are already included in CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's pricing policy.
What other advice do I have?
I will tell those planning to use the solution that it is a very expensive solution. Due to the cyber security constraints of the product, most of the companies are forced to update by paying money to CyberArk, which I feel is one of the problematic areas in the product. Feature-wise, it is a very good product.
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.
