Sentiment score
7.2
Exabeam is stable with high ratings, though some users face processing delays and downtime affecting SOC monitoring.
We no longer have our data infiltrated by unauthorized persons, and tracking actions within the system has become very easy.
When you have it in the cloud, you have CyberArk every time you need it.
With a stable network, due to the redundant data centers across the globe, it is a lot easier to use as a SaaS solution.
These problems were not frequent, and the last six to eight months have been stable.

CyberArk Identity requires enhancements in integration, scalability, usability, and support, focusing on mobile management, interface, and multifactor authentication.
Exabeam needs better flexibility, integration, clearer documentation, enhanced dashboards, faster support, improved UI, and reduced false positives.
Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity.
There's a need to enhance network performance.
For CyberArk Identity, you need knowledge of their scripting language to pull different sets of reports.
Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management.
I have explored the SaaS version; it offers many new features.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find CyberArk Identity's pricing expensive but justified by comprehensive features and unmatched service for large organizations.
Exabeam offers reasonable pricing with flexible models, though not the cheapest, it's competitively priced compared to some competitors.
Regarding pricing, it can be quite a lot for small companies.
The pricing is acceptable.
If I am not going fully cloud, there are additional resources I will need to purchase, such as spinning more VMs or acquiring an HSM device to encrypt the vault.
 

Valuable Features

CyberArk Identity offers seamless integration, strong security, and user-friendly features for enhanced identity protection and operational efficiency.
Exabeam excels with advanced analytics, intuitive interface, seamless integration, automation, and machine learning for enhanced security and ease of use.
It impacts zero trust security strategies. It prevents lateral movements in the organization.
The two-factor authentication is very important, but the fact that every account is being regenerated every time we use it is the most important security feature for us.
It is the most powerful access management system.
Exabeam's AI capabilities, like the natural language mode, convert natural language into Exabeam queries, enhancing ease of use.
The product offers useful features like the dashboard, timeline, and session views, which enhance our security tools.

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.
Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.
