Quick Picks

Which one should you pick?

Three buyer profiles, three answers. Pick the row that fits.

SMBs and MSP-managed businesses

Pick: CyberFox

Under a few hundred endpoints, no dedicated identity team, and the real goal is removing local admin rights with just-in-time elevation. AutoElevate deploys via script in hours, not a vault migration project.

Enterprises and compliance-heavy organizations

Pick: CyberArk

Hundreds of privileged accounts across servers, cloud, and third-party vendors, plus audit mandates for session recording and credential rotation. Budget for an enterprise identity program (now under Palo Alto Networks after the February 2026 acquisition).
