We honestly haven't looked into much. We've been using CloudBolt [Software] for a long, long time. I think we briefly looked into Morpheus but figured it was too much effort to lift everything, communicate it, etc. We selected CloudBolt [Software] because, at the time (and …

We used Thycotic in the past. Thycotic is a very basic password manager that did not provide the features we were looking for. The GUI wasn't too great, there wasn't much of reporting/monitoring, and the amin level management of thycotic was cumbersome.

It is known as one of the safest products in the market. It has good support and is also available as on-premise. You can run it virtually on VMWare (and probably on other hypervisors as well). You can have a second instance on bare metal and that makes it a very safe system.

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.

  • 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.

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

We honestly haven't looked into much. We've been using CloudBolt [Software] for a long, long time. I think we briefly looked into Morpheus but figured it was too much effort to lift everything, communicate it, etc. We selected CloudBolt [Software] because, at the time (and still do), they served our very specific case. We also liked the ability to customize certain aspects of the deployments - that enabled our "power users" to really tweak things just right for their departmental tasks.
