Giovanni Perini - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Specialist at Perini Beheer
Have increased security by regenerating credentials after each use and gained confidence through session oversight
We do not specifically use the password vaulting feature of CyberArk Identity. The centralized user dashboard of CyberArk Identity has not been that important for us. If it would be possible to share accounts between vaults in CyberArk Identity, that would be very beneficial. Account sharing between vaults is one of the most important aspects for us. 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. We had sometimes an issue that really took days during the implementation to fix. That was something that I did not appreciate about the whole implementation. It should be much more straightforward, specifically because you're doing a SaaS implementation. I rate it a seven because vendor support is difficult to get. Basically, you have to go through a partner to get support with CyberArk Identity. That's another thing that they could improve.

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

"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"The user self-service program and the Office 365 provisioning service feature are the most valuable. It is a very easy and feature-rich solution that gives priority to the users and security."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The UI is very simplified, and the documentation of CyberArk Identity is very crisp and clear."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"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 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."
"Good support for single sign-on protocols."
"I like that the solution is open source and you can use a commercial edition of it without any charge."
"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

"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."
"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."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"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."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated."
"Red Hat SSO's architecture could be updated."
"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."
"I think they could provide additional features in terms of users trying to manipulate the system with regard to security."
"Red Hat publishes much more and communicates its actions and plans. They could provide words, maps, and other resources."
"Security could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"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."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"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."
"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."
"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."
