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 correlation engine is good."
"This is a very stable solution. It is the most stable ESM that I have worked with."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"We use this solution for monitoring our network."
"We have seen a measurable decrease, by about 20 percent, in the mean time to detect and respond to risks."
"Investigating an incident has become super easy and helpful."
"The solution has good technical support."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"The support of CyberArk Identity is really good."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
 

Cons

"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"This is not a solution that I would recommend."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"The ArcSight Analytic is not so easy."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity could improve by having the ability to better manage the network, such as Cisco. There seem to be some issues in this area."
"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."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"This solution is expensive."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"The pricing is acceptable. It is worth considering what we are protecting with the amount charged."
"I think it is a fairly priced tool. I rate the tool between six and seven on a scale of one to ten where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"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."
