Featured Reviews

Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
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.

Owner at Syntlogo GmbH
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

"Being able to integrate CyberArk Identity with Microsoft Defender is valuable."
"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes me up to an hour and a half."
"Identity is the tool that offers the most seamless integration with UiPath Orchestrator and the most utility from an automation perspective."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"I find the CyberArk Identity portal quite intuitive; it has changed a lot over the last year and a half and if you think logically and understand your environment, it is easy to establish a suitable setup for yourself and all your vendors."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"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."
"I like that the solution is open source and you can use a commercial edition of it without any charge."
"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 integrates well with our other solutions. Using OIDC protocols and ITL integration, employees can authenticate with Red Hat SSO and access our microservices."
"It is very easy to scale and use as you want."
"Red Hat SSO has a lot of very concise, well laid out documentation, which is available in the free edition as well."
 

Cons

"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"It was pretty complex to implement CyberArk Identity. We had some help from a partner, and that helped a lot. But even for the partner, it was really difficult to streamline the process of implementing."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"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 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."
"The product’s technical support services could be better."
"I think they could provide additional features in terms of users trying to manipulate the system with regard to security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is acceptable. It is worth considering what we are protecting with the amount charged."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"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."
"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 solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"The license is around $8000 USD."
"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."
