Cloud infrastructure at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
Centralized credential management has transformed password rotation and streamlined compliance
1Password Business provides seamless integration with multiple services, AWS accounts, and enables easy management of the password vault and passwords. The automatic password rotation feature is particularly valuable, as rotated passwords are automatically updated to the 1Password Business vault. The time savings achieved through 1Password Business is significant, eliminating 10 to 15 hours of workforce time weekly and approximately 50 hours monthly. Previously, dedicated users were required to rotate passwords, share them with others, and notify stakeholders when passwords expired. This information no longer needs to be shared via email, and the time previously spent on these tasks has been substantially reduced.

Has strengthened privileged access control and improved audit visibility through session monitoring and password rotation
On the identity product side, it is awesome. However, they can improve in the documentation parts. For example, if there is a migration process, I can see the maximum customers are moving from self-hosted to on-premises or from on-premises to the cloud. It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration. A clear overview document would assist us in understanding more about the tool, configurations, and automations to enhance our security. Regarding the initial setup of CyberArk Identity, I faced some challenges. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components. I could not find the proper documentation in the community portal.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"1Password Business has positively impacted my organization, as it has improved security and helped by providing better passwords with the generated passwords."
"1Password Business has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to access and exit accounts, create new accounts, and share information across teams, all in a secure manner."
"1Password Business satisfies all my wants and needs and I feel very confident that it's providing me with good security."
"The most valuable feature of 1Password is the one that automatically generates a password and MFA for me when I try to enter them, instead of going and hardcoding it."
"1Password Business has positively impacted my organization, as it has improved security and helped by providing better passwords with the generated passwords."
"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"The overall experience with 1Password Business has been smooth and positive."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"The solution helps with auditing, and monitoring, and integrates with Splunk for log analysis. User activity logs are captured in CyberArk Identity and sent to external tools like Splunk for analysis and monitoring."
"The UI is very simplified, and the documentation of CyberArk Identity is very crisp and clear."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes me up to an hour and a half."
"The best features in CyberArk Identity that I appreciate most are the recent updates that have added features in the cloud privilege environment."
"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
 

Cons

"1Password Business can be improved by reducing the cost. I would recommend making it half the current cost, and I would be very happy with that change."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"I would improve the search engine of 1Password to make it clearer or less confusing."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"I choose a nine out of ten because I think some of the UI is a bit confusing, and the tutorials and documentation for 1Password Business are not the best."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"I faced some challenges during the initial setup of CyberArk Identity. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"The product needs to leverage the cloud more, especially in the financial sector, where cloud adoption might be limited. Proper reporting within the cloud is essential. The tool should be more user-friendly to expedite access for users. The current agent-based system poses challenges if a user loses access to the server, making tasks difficult to perform. It should also improve technical support."
"The product is not cheap, especially if you opt for an on-premise deployment requiring a complex server infrastructure. On the other hand, choosing the software as a service version simplifies infrastructure requirements but necessitates being online all the time."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"In terms of general user feedback, the more security you put in front of a user, the more they complain. So usability and the user experience are always a challenge. So there's always room for improvement."
"Room for improvement for CyberArk Identity might be on the support side, as they constantly improve with new features and remove redundant ones, integrating multiple steps into a single one for easier use; however, this is not just CyberArk Identity, as many vendors start with basic troubleshooting services without recognizing that knowledgeable users often reach out after exhausting those options."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"The pricing is acceptable. It is worth considering what we are protecting with the amount charged."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"It's not that affordable compared to Delinea or other products. They're less expensive and allow more customization. For the cost, it is expensive."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
