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.

An easy-to-use tool that offers its users strong security on the password management front
In my company, we use the solution's dictionary rule to see the availability of passwords or for the integration to other external systems with two-factor authentication The most valuable feature of the solution is that it's a standard product to help our customers implement a solution and to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"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 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."
"The setup, via cloud, is simple."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes me up to an hour and a half."
"The solution is very customizable."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"It does have advantages over the other products that we are seeing. Other products don't have the out-of-the-box OTP option, whereas One Identity Password Manager has the out-of-the-box OTP option. It also has a cloud-based solution for generating OTPs. So, the customers can either opt for their own SMS gateway, or they can use the One Identity OTP option where they don't have to have an SMS gateway. With other products, customers must have their own SMS gateway."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"What I found most valuable in One Identity Password Manager is its easy use. It's a flexible solution. It also supports many languages, including Arabic."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"In terms of general user feedback, the more security you put in front of a user, the more they complain. So usability and the user experience are always a challenge. So there's always room for improvement."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Some areas experience slowness based on the workload. There's a need to enhance network performance despite the good user experience with access management."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"The tool has issues with the third-party SMS gateway. The solution has its own SMS gateway. Integration support is a challenge when we don’t use their SMS gateway. The tool also needs to improve its scalability."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"One Identity Password Manager could improve the integration with other technology, it is complex for integrating. There needs to be more connectors or adapters. There is limited out-of-the-box customization."
"An area for improvement in One Identity Password Manager is the management gap since Quest is no longer under Dell, and One Identity is under Quest. The management gap resulted in poor support, which needs improvement."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"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."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"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."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"Its price is on the cheaper side. It has a perpetual license, and everything is included in the license. You only have to pay separately for the SMS gateway or the OTP part."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
"The price of One Identity Password Manager is average. There are other solutions that are more expensive, such as ARCON and others that are less expensive."
"The licensing for One Identity Password Manager depends on the customer's requirement. For example, it could be one year, or it could be three years. In general, One Identity Password Manager is not an expensive product. Pricing for it is competitive."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
