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

"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."

"CyberArk Identity is at the top."

"The support of CyberArk Identity is really good."

"Being able to integrate CyberArk Identity with Microsoft Defender is valuable."

"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."

"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."

"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 initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."

More CyberArk Identity pros

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Good support for single sign-on protocols."

Cons

"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."

"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."

"Something they could improve is the management of multifactor authentication. When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process."

"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."

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

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

"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."

"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."

More CyberArk Identity cons

"Security could be improved."

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

"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 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."

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

"It's not that affordable compared to Delinea or other products. They're less expensive and allow more customization. For the cost, it is expensive."

"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

"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."

"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."

"Red Hat Single Sign On is expensive."
