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.

A stable and flexible solution with some basic capabilities

I set up Red Hat Single Sign-On in half an hour. I had to install a single sign-on solution for a customer. I reviewed a list of all available products, which were no more than fifty, and analyzed them. I chose it because it was convincing, modern, and based on technology from 2015. I put my trust in this product, and after nine years, I feel confident in my decision. Deploying this solution usually takes half an hour. You need an operating system running, then deploy the packages and prepare the interfaces. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The straight-through approach of CyberArk Identity is very easy to start with; after you start with it, you can very easily onboard your privileged accounts, and from there on, you can advance further and make it more and more secure."

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

"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."

"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."

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

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

"What I like most about CyberArk Identity is the model that is in place."

More CyberArk Identity pros

"Good support for single sign-on protocols."

"The solution is flexible and has the same basic capabilities right out of the box. The most important feature of this product is that it is a Red double-sided product. One side is a well-known open-source project; the other is a Red Hat commercial product. The commercial product benefits from all the experience and contributions of the community, making it a very well-developed product."

"It is very easy to scale and use as you want."

"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to assign only one password for the user at a false value."

"Red Hat SSO has a lot of very concise, well laid out documentation, which is available in the free edition as well."

"Red Hat SSO integrates well with our other solutions. Using OIDC protocols and ITL integration, employees can authenticate with Red Hat SSO and access our microservices."

Cons

"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."

"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."

"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."

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

"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."

"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."

"The user interface could be improved."

"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."

More CyberArk Identity cons

"Red Hat publishes much more and communicates its actions and plans. They could provide words, maps, and other resources."

"The product’s technical support services could be better."

"Security could be improved."

"They could provide more checks and balances to find out if there have been any security lapses, e.g., if somebody is trying to break into the system. Some other products have these detection mechanisms in case someone is trying to hack into the system or find out a user's passwords."

"Red Hat SSO's architecture could be updated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."

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

"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 is acceptable. It is worth considering what we are protecting with the amount charged."

"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."

More CyberArk Identity pricing and cost advice

"Red Hat Single Sign On is expensive."

"It is a low cost product. This product can be used by non-profit organizations or universities, when they don't want to invest a lot of money."

"The license is around $8000 USD."

"If you want support, that is when you use the paid version. There are different support categories that you can pay for, which provide different support levels. E.g., there is a quick response if you pay a higher amount, where the response time is within a few hours."
