Featured Reviews

Julio Montero - PeerSpot reviewer
Access management system provides strong security and effortless user authentication
The solution can be deployed on cloud or on-premises. CyberArk is more on the cloud than on local hardware. The deployment is initially quite difficult. That said, when you are doing the implementation of CyberArk, there are so many tutorials that make the learning process very easy. The only complaint could be the language barrier. It's difficult if you don't have a very good level of English. Otherwise, it is very easy. You can have it set up within three months without much difficulty. It's hard to get started, however, once you get going, it gets easier. A full deployment takes half a year or less. There is some maintenance necessary. A company is constantly hiring and letting go of employees. The access is always changing, so access must always be adjusted. Or, if we need another law of filter, we would need to add those, or even take them away. That's another aspect of maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the CyberArk Identity portal quite intuitive; it has changed a lot over the last year and a half and if you think logically and understand your environment, it is easy to establish a suitable setup for yourself and all your vendors."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"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."
"The support of CyberArk Identity is really good."
"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."
"Overall, I would rate CyberArk Identity a nine out of ten."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"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."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
