Integrates well between AD and Unix, scalable, and easy to use
BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues. I recently received a new version a few weeks ago and it looks like they solved most of the problems. Some of the issues we had, lasted a very long time until they found a solution.

Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
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

"They've done a great job implementing all possible features; it's the best tool there is and no competitors come close to the level of sophistication and maturity of the product."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe has made companies a lot safer."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"The most valuable features of BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe are the ease of use and the API is very nice. Additionally, the interface is very good between AD and Unix."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"Secrets Safe is highly scalable without interruptions to the current infrastructure."
"The solution has good technical support."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"It has aided in troubleshooting by allowing logs to be extracted and sent to a correlation engine, such as QRadar, for notifications or alerts."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
 

Cons

"The product contains some bugs."
"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"The solution is relatively stable, but not all bugs have been fixed."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"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."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"It was pretty complex to implement CyberArk Identity. We had some help from a partner, and that helped a lot. But even for the partner, it was really difficult to streamline the process of implementing."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"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."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated. While I would rate CyberArk Identity and Okta on the same level, Okta's reporting is crisper and clearer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"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."
"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."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"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."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
