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.

Offers single sign-on capabilities to users

Suppose you are totally dependent and have requirements where you have a cloud application or several applications for integration with the cloud. In that case, I will suggest the use of Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Oracle Identity Cloud Service has much scope for customization. If you have a high customization level, then I would suggest IAM. The tool's multifactor authentication capabilities are easy to implement. If a client has a banking system, they need a strong authentication service, and only a password is not required; the user has to authenticate via fingerprint, face recognition, or go for or any RSA token. Double authentication is required where the banking department has access to very critical applications, or else they cannot go ahead and give the password. It is very difficult to hack once you have MFA in place. You have to either give the print fingerprint or any RSA token, making it not so easy to hack the system. We suggest MFA to clients who have the most critical application with them. I recommend the tool for every client we have, but it depends on how they want to have it because some customers don't want to go for the cloud application, and they might be thinking about changing the cloud vendors. Suppose a company has some costs in mind, and if they have a large number of employees, like 50,000 or 1,00,000 users, then it will be costlier for them than having an on-prem tool, like IAM. If a customer has 5,000, 10,000, or 20,00 employees, Oracle Identity Cloud Service can be a cheaper tool than the IAM product. I will suggest Oracle Identity Cloud Service only for smaller organizations. The tool does not have any AI capabilities. I would recommend the tool to everyone. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."

"CyberArk Identity provides identity governance and gives me control over who and how access to environments occurs, offering significant confidentiality in what is accessed."

"The best features in CyberArk Identity that I appreciate most are the recent updates that have added features in the cloud privilege environment."

"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."

"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."

"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."

"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."

"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."

More CyberArk Identity pros

"Identity Cloud has simplified our migrations. Since we're primarily working with native Oracle solutions, we can adopt many features of Oracle Identity Cloud Management."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its single sign-on capabilities."

"Federation and Identity let us create users and send federation tools, giving the authentication and authorization to users. With the on-premise solution, I can do the installation, configuration, and integration of Identity Access Management. This gives us direct access. The integration with the single solution E-business suite is also very valuable."

"The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs."

"The most valuable feature is identity management."

"Onboarding of new employees, consultants, and partners has rapidly increased. We reduced the time to onboard them and the ease of onboarding has been improved. Therefore, we recognize there has been efficiency which has been brought into our organization."

"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."

"The most valuable features are the high stability and good performance."

Cons

"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."

"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."

"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."

"Room for improvement for CyberArk Identity might be on the support side, as they constantly improve with new features and remove redundant ones, integrating multiple steps into a single one for easier use; however, this is not just CyberArk Identity, as many vendors start with basic troubleshooting services without recognizing that knowledgeable users often reach out after exhausting those options."

"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."

"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."

"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."

"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."

More CyberArk Identity cons

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."

"Oracle needs to improve the GUI and many other aspects of the cloud console. It isn't as slick as Azure, Google, or IWS cloud. The documentation could be better, too."

"The initial setup was a little complex. At that time, the method of integration was a bit complicated due to the scripts that we were required to write for the integration."

"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."

"Self Service features are still limited in IDCS, and there is a need for more customization of the self-service screens."

"The protocol could be easier to use."

"The tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."

"We still see a lot of bugs in any of the versions that Oracle comes out with. So, there are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"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."

"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."

"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."

"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."

"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."

"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."

"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."

More CyberArk Identity pricing and cost advice

"The foundation tier that is offered with other cloud services subscriptions is fairly extensive and supports the use of identities, groups, and privileges in those cloud services."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"The tool's implementation costs totally depend on the number of users. The cost depends on how many users are going to use it, so a per-user cost model is needed for the tool."
