It has improved our system and network policy monitoring
They should improve on the following: * Timely resolution of issues and proper support once a ticket has been generated. * Systems appearing on the network which are not part of the domain controller. These should be monitored. * Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked. * Logger monitoring should be separated from ESM monitoring. * Ability to integrate with cloud-based applications and monitor cloud-based events. * Ability to log and notify tailored rules via SMS/email. * Provide more ArcSight training and workshops.
Julio Montero - PeerSpot reviewer
Access management system provides strong security and effortless user authentication
The solution can be deployed on cloud or on-premises. CyberArk is more on the cloud than on local hardware. The deployment is initially quite difficult. That said, when you are doing the implementation of CyberArk, there are so many tutorials that make the learning process very easy. The only complaint could be the language barrier. It's difficult if you don't have a very good level of English. Otherwise, it is very easy. You can have it set up within three months without much difficulty. It's hard to get started, however, once you get going, it gets easier. A full deployment takes half a year or less. There is some maintenance necessary. A company is constantly hiring and letting go of employees. The access is always changing, so access must always be adjusted. Or, if we need another law of filter, we would need to add those, or even take them away. That's another aspect of maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"The correlation engine is good."

"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Being able to integrate CyberArk Identity with Microsoft Defender is valuable."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"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 feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"The setup, via cloud, is simple."
 

Cons

"Their support team could be better."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"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."
"To enhance the product, they can consider improving the user interface of the software and possibly the customer support team."
"Something they could improve is the management of multifactor authentication. When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"More integrations would be better."
"When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process. The translation isn't always good, and it may have a completely different name. I've noticed this in the English to Spanish translation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive."

"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
