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.

Automated access reviews have reduced hidden bot risks and create audit evidence seamlessly
CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla's access reviews, audit report generation, and compliance features are excellent. It creates audit and compliance evidence easily, which previously required substantial manual effort, but now the process has become very straightforward. The best feature is definitely the AI component, which includes evidence generation for audit and compliance, addressing one of our biggest challenges. We are able to easily gather all the details required by the audit team, and that is one of the best aspects. Additionally, being cloud-based means it is very easy to scale up without much downtime compared to our previous on-premises solution. CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing manual effort. We previously had many unnoticed non-human accounts that we could not deactivate due to their large number, but now that timeframe has drastically decreased, which is one of the greatest advantages. The AI-driven access reviews and automatic generation of compliance and audit documents are among the best features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best features in CyberArk Identity that I appreciate most are the recent updates that have added features in the cloud privilege environment, including Secure Infrastructure Access, Secure Cloud Access, and Secure Web Sessions."
"The features are really powerful, providing really good SSO and MFA features and implementation capability, plus an MDM solution, and the cloud-based setup is simple and scalable."
"What I like most about CyberArk Identity is the model that is in place."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"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."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is a very stable product, and I do not see a lot of issues with it most of the time."
"I enjoy the ease of setup and creation of a review. Being a user of the tool or kind of an admin of the tool, the ease of setup of an access review is valuable."
"It helps users work from anywhere, regardless of their location or country. Users do not need to be in their office geo-location to access applications or resources, which provides flexibility for accessing applications wherever they are."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla's access reviews, audit report generation, and compliance features are excellent."
"We had these spreadsheets all over the place, but now we have a library of evidence to consult when needed. Zilla keeps everything in one place. It's not scattered all over anymore."
 

Cons

"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process. The translation isn't always good, and it may have a completely different name. I've noticed this in the English to Spanish translation."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"More integrations would be better."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The primary issue I have experienced with CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is related to support."
"Maybe this is coming with their AI module, but I would like to see a feature that performs baseline analysis of permissions that may not fit into a role, and it attempts to group them into a role. We've run into problems with applications where someone has not created a role but assigned ad hoc permissions to a user. We still need to do some manual work to identify the group that the user belongs to. It would be amazing to have Zilla streamline that."
"There is still no automated way to de-provision access as a result of a review, but they are getting there in terms of making it unified. They are getting closer to that."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is lacking in the governance side of identities compared to competitors."
"For improvement, I would suggest enhancing the reporting functionality of CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla, as it could benefit from more customization or advanced filtering for auditing purposes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is acceptable. It is worth considering what we are protecting with the amount charged."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"It has been fair because we have been in from the beginning or close to the beginning. I know it is not truly an identity access management system yet, but its price was one of the appealing factors for us to purchase it at the time. It was reasonably priced."
