Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has also saved us time by having end-users troubleshoot issues through the MyCircle feature, and has definitely reduced the efforts of our administrators. It is saving us five to 10 minutes per incident.""The life cycle management of credentials is the aspect that we have found to be the most useful... The differentiator that Axiad provided was the ability to provide users a way to self-serve the updating of their credentials on their private keys. That was the feature we were most interested in and Axiad does an excellent job of it.""Aside from Active Directory, anything that is a multi-factor platform is handled through Axiad Cloud. It is critical for helping to enforce usage of authentication devices across our organization.""And when it comes to enrolling a user, it's super easy with One Click Issuance... It's so easy now that we can offload the process to our clients who can self-enroll. Previously, we would have to do the enrollment process because it was so complicated.""It's very user-friendly. We're issuing YubiKeys for our corporate users and they just plug it in, go to the Axiad Cloud portal, and click the issue button. It's a couple of steps.""What I have found most valuable is the overall way Axiad listened to our problems and helped us solve them. They provided guidance and expertise, with their experience, that enabled us to be successful in a very challenging space."

More Axiad Cloud Pros →

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface.""It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening.""I found the solution to be stable.""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 integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients.""The setup, via cloud, is simple.""The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."

Cons
"I would like a more modern look to the portal.""With their licensing model, it becomes hard to scale. For example, we couldn't roll it out enterprise-wide because if you scale it across more than 100,000 users, the cost becomes too exorbitant.""macOS is notoriously ever-evolving and it's difficult to keep pace with it as it pertains to certain kinds of crypto authentication. That's really not even on Axiad. That's a decision by Apple, but it makes it a moving target.""I'm looking forward to seeing how they move to FIDO U2F as their primary authentication method across all of their solutions.""We would prefer that the solution be hosted in Canada because we're a Canadian entity. That would be nice to have. It's not a feature, as such, but it would really make us a lot happier if it could be located in Canada.""There are just some minor tweaks that could be made on the front end. It would be cool to have nicknames for authenticator devices. If you have more than one, it's hard to discern what you have."

More Axiad Cloud Cons →

"More integrations would be better.""The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps.""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.""The tool has issues with the third-party SMS gateway. The solution has its own SMS gateway. Integration support is a challenge when we don’t use their SMS gateway. The tool also needs to improve its scalability.""In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one.""The user interface could be improved.""CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement.""The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Axiad's pricing was what we were expecting. It was at the right spot. They were competitive."
  • "It's very cheap on a per-year basis. The cards themselves last about three years and the license is on the order of double-digit dollars per user, and not hundreds of dollars per user, per year."
  • "The pricing is very competitive for what is offered at the level that we need. They are right there with what the industry standards are. They tend to be a little bit less, in terms of cost, when we are talking about security at government standards. So, I would say that they have a slight advantage on cost compared to the industry average. They are the lower cost solution and the best bargain out on the market today."
  • "Don't just focus on the hardware or software costs of acquiring a solution, but look at it from the perspective that so much of what it takes to run a PKI environment has to do with the people who are running it.... look at the total cost of ownership and not just the cost of acquisition."

  • "We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
  • "There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
  • "I would rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product’s pricing is expensive and is on a yearly basis. You will need to pay around 10,000 GBP for 500 users."
  • "The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
  • "There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
  • "In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
  • "CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
  • "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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Axiad Cloud is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has multi-factor authentication to help save companies time, it’s flexible, and easy to use.

    A Sr. Manager, Training Services at a transportation company, says what he finds most valuable about the solution is that “Users enroll themselves and re-enroll tokens when they expire, saving us time.

    Users also like that the solution helps eliminate the challenges of running and managing a PKI environment. “One of the things that we find the most valuable is not actually a feature, but it's the fact that we are not managing the environment ourselves. Because it is a managed solution in the cloud, it takes away a lot of the drudgery of having to run our own PKI environment,” mentions Tony V., Director of Information Technology Services at a government.

    Another PeerSpot user expresses how it’s improved work for his staff: “Our associates are very happy not to need their password for most situations anymore. "It's very user-friendly. We're issuing YubiKeys for our corporate users and they just plug it in, go to the Axiad Cloud portal, and click the issue button. It's a couple of steps,” says Dave P., Enterprise Security Architect at a retailer.
