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.
Upendar G - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The best thing I like about CyberArk Identity is that it does not require heavy implementation, complex hardware, or complex training."
"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"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 tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"Being able to integrate CyberArk Identity with Microsoft Defender is valuable."
"What I like most about CyberArk Identity is the model that is in place."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"I would tell others that this solution is reliable. If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"The product supports customization."
 

Cons

"The product is not cheap, especially if you opt for an on-premise deployment requiring a complex server infrastructure. On the other hand, choosing the software as a service version simplifies infrastructure requirements but necessitates being online all the time."
"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 OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"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's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"It does not have global market penetration, and sometimes, there are support issues."
"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
 

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."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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 point is very good. I compared it with other products, and it does not require a heavy investment."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The product is a little expensive."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"The tool is affordable."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
