CyberArk Privileged Access Management vs. Netwrix Privilege Secure

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.

Netwrix SbPAM is perfect for any company that has multiple system administrators and multiple locations. It allows the managers to control all admin roles in a central and controlled way. Privileged accounts are critical, so that is why SbPAM is perfect to know what your admins are doing.

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

My manager tried other products, but as far as I remembered, they were super expensive and too much for this type of organization.

• 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.

• Not sure about the ROI (I am not manager), but it is perfect to protect the company assets and information against foul play by a disgruntled employee.
