A new way to perform multifactor authentication using specialized SaaS software
Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to One month I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors. I have been using SecurID tokens and wanted something that didn't require hardware authentication devices.…

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

"Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to."
"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"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."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"The user self-service program and the Office 365 provisioning service feature are the most valuable. It is a very easy and feature-rich solution that gives priority to the users and security."
"The UI is very simplified, and the documentation of CyberArk Identity is very crisp and clear."
"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."
 

Cons

"I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors."
"Some areas experience slowness based on the workload. There's a need to enhance network performance despite the good user experience with access management."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
