Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Automates our user provisioning process and integrates very well with other SAP products but needs better integration with non-SAP products
We use it to automate our user provisioning process. It is used for managing access of SAP users; for example, they can do password reset or assign technical rules to themselves. It is also used for identifying risks It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products. It…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best features in CyberArk Identity that I appreciate most are the recent updates that have added features in the cloud privilege environment."
"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."
"I had one machine that I could not use due to an invalid token. They resolved the problem immediately after I reported it, on the same day, within one hour. It is a very good experience."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"I faced some challenges during the initial setup of CyberArk Identity. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components."
"I faced some challenges during the initial setup of CyberArk Identity. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"It would be better if we could also manage other systems with it. Currently, you have to purchase plugins for it to work with other non-SAP systems. It would be good if there is an easy way to integrate SAP Access Control with other non-SAP systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"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 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."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"It is a part of our package with SAP. There is no extra cost in addition to the license."
