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

"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."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"The setup, via cloud, is simple."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"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."
"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."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"The most valuable features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application. You should be able to relegate what group has a certain level of access and another group has a different level of access. Currently, everyone has the same access. I believe this feature is supposed to be in version 7."
"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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."
"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
