Room For Improvement

ArcSight Intelligence requires frequent updates, improved usability, better speed, enhanced scalability, lower pricing, and higher ranking compared to QRadar and Splunk.
CyberArk Identity issues include complex setup, weak authentication, poor integration, difficult scalability, and inadequate technical support and customer service.
Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity.
It does not have global market penetration, and sometimes, there are support issues.
Something they could improve is the management of multifactor authentication.
 

Setup Cost

ArcSight Intelligence is costly, suited for enterprises, and offers various licensing options with extra charges for new features.
CyberArk Identity pricing varies among users but is valued for strong security features by medium and large enterprises.
I compared it with other products, and it does not require a heavy investment.
Regarding pricing, it can be quite a lot for small companies.
If I am not going fully cloud, there are additional resources I will need to purchase, such as spinning more VMs or acquiring an HSM device to encrypt the vault.

CyberArk Identity offers robust security features and integrations at a low cost, enhancing identity management and operational efficiency.

Featured Reviews

Pravir KumarSinha - PeerSpot reviewer
Has essential threat detection capabilities, but the features for intelligence need enhancement
We integrated this tool with our security infrastructure. We installed it on a Linux server, where we have a Logger and ESM installed. With the Linux server as the hub, we manage all the configurations and rules, including those for email triggers. The logs are routed through a connector to the Logger, allowing us to monitor our infrastructure effectively. The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities. I recommend it to others and rate it a seven out of ten.
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.

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
