CyberArk Privileged Access Management vs. Devolutions Server

I always recommend CyberArk based on my experiences at several different jobs and industries. It does a great job of helping you create all kinds of use cases and approval flows for accessing and using privileged accounts. It also does a great job securing local admin passwords on servers. End-users of the system are able to quickly and easily start utilizing the more secure method of obtaining credentials in minimal time with minimal overhead/tax on their work time.

We love using Devolutions Server as our Privileged Access Management solution! We were able to use it initially for our Information Technology team and after that, we expanded the use to other teams outside of IT, like our Database Admins, etc. Integrating Devolutions Server with Remote Desktop Manager allows our Systems Admins & Engineers to support our environment without having to keep passwords in an Excel file or on Post-It notes! :)

• storing password safely
• storing passwords in one central place
• "remembering" a password for a whole team and/or single persons
• securing access to certain passwords by groups or team

• Multiple way to access your data
• Easy server management
• Of course easy and secure access/storage of your data

• The initial product cost is a little on the higher side, which might turn off small & medium enterprises.
• As it talks about security, it has a lot of hardware/software requirements for the initial setup, which might make the rollout timeline a little lengthy.
• Product should be easy to customize based on different industry's needs.

• We would like to see some additional reporting options.

I think that we will stick with this service for as long as possible.

I've been an engineer and architect in the Identity space for many years and CyberArk is the #1 tool I've found to help me secure accounts and credentials. I've architected CyberArk and built the implementation from the ground up twice in previous roles and found it here upon my arrival at my current job. I wouldn't want to have to live without it as it helps me sleep at night

Manage Engine's Password Management solution can accomplish the same features however, their system is cumbersome and not as user friendly to operate. It is however great for small teams. Pleasant Solutions Password Manager Pro can accomplish some of the same things, but the web browser interface is not user friendly at all

They don't have the same "Server" option as Devolutions, so you can only access data from the computer program.

• A positive impact is passing SOX audits when it comes to privileged account management. Making sure we are compliant with password expiration policies and complexities.

• ROI was higher when I used the password server
• The time to set up took a while since the importing from out password vault would not work properly
• The server worked quickly reducing our response time
