AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that CyberArk Privileged Access Manager excels in "Password Vault" functionality, achieving a high score of 9.7, which reviewers mention provides robust security for sensitive credentials. In contrast, AWS Secrets Manager, while effective, does not reach the same level of user satisfaction in this area.
  • Reviewers mention that CyberArk's "Multi-Factor Authentication" feature scores an impressive 9.2, ensuring enhanced security for privileged accounts. AWS Secrets Manager also offers multi-factor authentication, but users on G2 indicate that its implementation is not as seamless as CyberArk's.

AWS Secrets Manager lacks this specific functionality, which some users find limiting for their auditing needs.
  • G2 users highlight that CyberArk's "Centralized management" feature scores 9.0, making it easier for administrators to manage user roles and permissions. In comparison, AWS Secrets Manager, while offering centralized management, does not provide the same level of user satisfaction, scoring lower in this area.
  • Reviewers mention that CyberArk's "Approval Workflows" feature, rated at 8.8, streamlines the process of granting access, which is crucial for maintaining security protocols.

Our organization mostly used it for saving sensitive information e.g private key or rds credentials. The best feature is to rotate your credentials without any hassle. The lambda custom code feature is great for rotation.
