Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

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

"The features I have found most valuable are its capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"We use this solution for monitoring our network."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"The stability of the solution is perfect."
"This is a very stable solution. It is the most stable ESM that I have worked with."
"The best features in CyberArk Identity that I appreciate most are the recent updates that have added features in the cloud privilege environment, including Secure Infrastructure Access, Secure Cloud Access, and Secure Web Sessions."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes me up to an hour and a half."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"The features are really powerful, providing really good SSO and MFA features and implementation capability, plus an MDM solution, and the cloud-based setup is simple and scalable."
"CyberArk Identity provides identity governance and gives me control over who and how access to environments occurs, offering significant confidentiality in what is accessed."
"I find the CyberArk Identity portal quite intuitive; it has changed a lot over the last year and a half and if you think logically and understand your environment, it is easy to establish a suitable setup for yourself and all your vendors."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The features that I personally find most effective in terms of security stem from the fact that it is easy to integrate and also the adoption is faster."
 

Cons

"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"You can use this solution for limited use cases. But for more advanced use cases, there are other solutions which are better than ArcSight."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"The ArcSight Analytic is not so easy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"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."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"This solution has MDM (Mobile Device Management) features, but they are weak."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
