1Password vs. CyberArk Privileged Access Management

1password is the best solution for storing your passwords and other sensitive data as well as sharing it with employees of your company easily and efficiently. It has a web interface for managing your passwords and users as well as user groups. 1password can be installed on almost any OS and integrated with all popular web browsers

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.

• 1Password's Watchtower service is a real value add - 1Password monitors the security news for evidence of security breaches containing your credentials and alerts you if you have been impacted. That is a huge value as it enables you to get out in front of a security breach and be proactive in protecting yourself.
• 1Password's core strength is that it makes it easy to practice good security hygiene by using strong, unique passwords for each site you interact with. This is something that all password managers do now, but offering an easy experience is key.
• 1Password's password sharing features makes it easy to share team credentials with other team members, and to decide who amongst the team gets access to the designated credentials.

• 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
• On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

• 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.

1Password is a great password manager and it helps us a lot in our every day duties at the company. Since implementing this solution we also feel way more secure when it comes to our own data or the data of our Clients.

The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

I haven't had to use the support team since using the product, so that's saying something. But I did reference the FAQs and information materials to help with the initial setup. All in all, I found all of the information and clarity I needed to get set up and begin fully using the platform.

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

I do have LastPass set up for our front office workers since their free version does fine for managing the few passwords they have. Since that computer is in an area accessed by most of the staff and visible to the public, I didn't want sticky notes with sensitive passwords laying around. The main advantage of that usage is that it does offer a free version, and with so little to manage, the paid 1Password would not be a good value for us there. But it does, of course, have its limitations. The interface is a bit clunky, and we don't have any desktop or mobile versions set up to try to sync with, just the one web browser based version, so I can't speak to the accessibility, but it does not "feel" as robust and easy to use as 1Password.

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

• Our business has over 500 different passwords that are required to log into other websites for billing. Allowing easy login to the different entities saves time and money.
• 1Password encrypts all the passwords, protects them, preventing hackers from obtaining all of the information and causing disruption to the business.
• Having multi-users save time and money because everyone will have access to all passwords at the tip of the finger without having to ask request passwords from other employees. Furthermore, employees who require the passwords on the field will also have access to the password. Furthermore, our IT department requires access to passwords to employee's computers in order to assist with troubleshooting. This allows the IT department to access computers remotely without asking for passwords receiving passwords over the internet.

• 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.
