Stephen Hui - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Architect at DataAssure
Has all necessary functionalities, is sophisticated and mature; still contains some bugs
There are still some bugs in the solution but a lot less than there used to be. Unfortunately, CyberArk and BeyondTrust are in fierce competition. Many customers have already adopted CyberArk, but they need a proven remote access solution and are likely to go with BeyondTrust. Both solutions can be used, it's just more work for IT to manage them. CyberArk is still leading the market share globally, and BeyondTrust is always classified second, followed by Delinea or Thycotic.
Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Secrets Safe is highly scalable without interruptions to the current infrastructure."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe has made companies a lot safer."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"CyberArk Identity provides identity governance and gives me control over who and how access to environments occurs, offering significant confidentiality in what is accessed."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"The solution is relatively stable, but not all bugs have been fixed."
"The product contains some bugs."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"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 product needs to leverage the cloud more, especially in the financial sector, where cloud adoption might be limited. Proper reporting within the cloud is essential. The tool should be more user-friendly to expedite access for users. The current agent-based system poses challenges if a user loses access to the server, making tasks difficult to perform. It should also improve technical support."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"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."
"I faced some challenges during the initial setup of CyberArk Identity. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"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."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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."
"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."
"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."
