Julio Montero - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Chandan Tripathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for making logins more secure by using multifactor authentication but extremely expensive
There is room for improvement in a few areas. Firstly, it lacks support for OIDC and OS capabilities, making it less versatile for integrating various applications. Secondly, there are some limitations in the number of supported applications. Lastly, it doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility.

"I found the solution to be stable."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"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."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."
"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."
"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."
"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."
 

Cons

"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"To enhance the product, they can consider improving the user interface of the software and possibly the customer support team. Sometimes, there is a delay in handling my inquiries via email, which could be addressed for better service."
"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 user interface could be improved."
"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."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"Sometimes, we encounter issues with other applications that are not compatible with RSA SecurID Access and require expert troubleshooting. At those times, we need additional support from an implementation perspective. This is an area where Oracle can improve as there is no substitute for reliable and efficient support."
"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."
"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."
"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
