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.

Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement
I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven 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

"The best thing I like about CyberArk Identity is that it does not require heavy implementation, complex hardware, or complex training."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"Overall, I would rate CyberArk Identity a nine out of ten."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"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."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"It is very easy to use and is a trusted platform. It protects our platform, application, network, and infrastructure resources on any device."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."
"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
 

Cons

"There are some issues with CyberArk Identity. Sometimes, I have encountered glitches or bugs, which increased downtime."
"The user interface could be improved."
"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."
"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 could improve by having the ability to better manage the network, such as Cisco. There seem to be some issues in this area."
"It does not have global market penetration, and sometimes, there are support issues."
"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."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The pricing point is very good. I compared it with other products, and it does not require a heavy investment."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
