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

"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."

"The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes me up to an hour and a half."

"From my perspective, platformization is an advantage because it's an experience that big customers can take advantage of, or the platformization part because it's easier to manage and easier to deploy because of that."

"We haven't encountered any problems with respect to the stability of this solution; it is very stable."

"I found the solution to be stable."

"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."

"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 integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."

More Idira Identity pros

"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 most valuable feature is identity management."

"It's an excellent product and the integration adapts well with all things around the solution."

"IDCS has enabled the users of the other cloud services and has allowed administrators to manage access to services, applications, and grant privileges via IDCS groups."

"Identity Cloud has simplified our migrations, and 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."

"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."

More Oracle Identity Cloud Service pros

Cons

"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."

"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."

"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."

"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated."

"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."

"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."

"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."

"The user interface could be improved."

More Idira Identity cons

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

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."

"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."

"The protocol could be easier to use."

"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 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 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."

"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 of CyberArk Identity is competitive."

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

"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 is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."

More Idira 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."
