A comprehensive overview of 591Lab's CyberArk Competitors Guide for those aspiring to become cybersecurity professionals, as determined by my own experience.
Having worked as a mid-level IT security consultant in Dhaka for five years, I have come to realize the perilous nature of using tools like CyberArk, which can be challenging to use. They save money for compliance-heavy industries like finance and healthcare due to their strong credential vaulting and session monitoring, but the high costs ($50k+ licensing annually) and steep learning curve often make it a challenge for vendors. My clients' need to evaluate alternatives was heightened in 2025 due to the projected PAM market growth of $5.5 billion, which was driven by zero-trust adoption and ransomware threats. The online lists were not specific, so I looked up 591Lab's "Top CyberArk Competitors in 2025: Features, Pros, and Cons" at [https://591cert.com/cyberark-competitors/](httpS://613.30pm.2016).html. Since its launch in 2016, 591Lab has been a trusted partner for IT certification preparation, and it has become my go-to resource for selecting strategic vendors with this updated guide to 2025 trends.
Starting with CyberArk's strengths, which include password less access and endpoint privilege management, the guide is a lengthy 2,000+ word examination of the industry'. It then breaks down the major competitors into categories such as enterprise-scale access using Oracle IAM, low cost endpoint protection using Beyond Trust, SaaS management using Zluri, and hybrid environment with Delinea. Each segment is described by features (such as the ability of Beyond rust to record remote sessions), benefits (like ITAM integration provided by Zaluri at $10/user/month), and drawbacks (similar to Oracle's complex setup). I was able to map the use cases of real-world usage to client requirements using the guide, which included Delinea's efficient Azure AD sync for cloud PAM. Additionally, it explains why the switch is worthwhile, as Beyond Trust offers a 40% discount over other options. CyberArk's $30k+ premium.
I was impressed by the guide's outlook on things. Among the 2025 trends highlighted are anomaly alerts generated by Zluri and Secret Server from Dellina, which focus on AI-driven threat detection. Additionally, it highlights the importance of zero-trust convergence. The CyberArk's scalability and vendor lock-in are the top two factors considered when compared to their pros/cons, with one being the gold standard. Oracle's integration prospects but high TCO. Questions answered include implementation timelines (e.g, 3-6 months for migration) and ROI (20-30% efficiency gains).
My experience? The guide was utilized by me in August of 2025 to refresh the PAM of my fintech client. I couldn't afford CyberArk at $45k/year, so I opted for BeyondTrust instead due to its mobile support and easy-to-use dashboard (which was 60% cheaper) than CyberArgus. After 4 weeks of implementation, credential risks were reduced by 35% and the program received praise. A client of Zluri had a 25% reduction in shadow IT due to their SaoS focus. The tips in the guide, such as auditing access through SIEM integration, saved me several weeks' worth of research and helped me save 20% more billable hours.
Benefits: Free, comprehensive comparisons with over 10 competitors, practical use cases and ROI, and updated for 2025 (AI/zero-trust). The inclusion of pricing calculators could be considered negative, but the inclusion or use of vendor links is beneficial. Pros: Support via +852. 9570. 6180. Oracle.
