Access Management Analyst at Telefónica

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.

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

"I found the solution to be stable."

"CyberArk Identity is at the top."

"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."

"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."

"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 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."

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

"The setup, via cloud, is simple."

More CyberArk Identity pros

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

"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."

"Good support for single sign-on protocols."

"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

"Some areas experience slowness based on the workload. There's a need to enhance network performance despite the good user experience with access management."

"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."

"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."

"To enhance the product, they can consider improving the user interface of the software and possibly the customer support team."

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

"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."

"At the moment CyberArk needs to enrich Conjur and it needs to be made more viable so that its adoption can be made much faster."

"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."

More CyberArk Identity cons

"Security could be improved."

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

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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 of CyberArk Identity is competitive."

"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."

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

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

More CyberArk Identity pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Red Hat Single Sign On is expensive."

"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."

"The license is around $8000 USD."
