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.
Ravi Shekharan - PeerSpot reviewer
Helped reduce our operational costs and increase our efficiency, but it can be more user-friendly
Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system. This is one area where Gurucul UEBA could improve. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the tool itself could provide or assign user-based or asset-based CI ratings to allow for a more accurate assessment of alert severity. In our environment, we forward these logs, events, and alerts to SIM, where the CI rating is already present. Therefore, if we need to closely investigate a UEBA case directly, it becomes problematic. Gurucul UEBA should proactively incorporate asset-based or user-based CI severity into its design. Gurucul UEBA needs to be more user-friendly. I would like Gurucul UEBA to be able to integrate with legacy-based identity systems and systems that are performing network-based access control. This would require additional integration and playbook models.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"It has aided in troubleshooting by allowing logs to be extracted and sent to a correlation engine, such as QRadar, for notifications or alerts."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"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."
"The user self-service program and the Office 365 provisioning service feature are the most valuable. It is a very easy and feature-rich solution that gives priority to the users and security."
"Being able to integrate CyberArk Identity with Microsoft Defender is valuable."
"The reporting feature was the key differentiator. I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
"If you are genuinely looking for a UEBA solution, you should choose Gurucul confidently if your need is strictly UEBA."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
"I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
 

Cons

"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"To enhance the product, they can consider improving the user interface of the software and possibly the customer support team."
"More integrations would be better."
"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."
"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"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."
"Technical support is good but can improve. I would rate it six to seven out of ten. The main issue is response time, which can take three to four hours even for simple queries."
"It could be more stable."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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."
"The price of Gurucul is competitive."
"The price is fair. In fact, I believe it was on the cheaper side when compared to the competition."
