ROI

Sentiment score
5.2
CyberArk Identity boosts resource efficiency and security, achieving up to 85% savings and enhancing strategic focus for users.
Sentiment score
5.3
Tenable Cloud Security is financially beneficial, offering cost-effective services and positive outcomes despite lacking specific recent metrics.
I have seen over 30% return on investment due to the improvement in operational efficiencies through automation, which enhances productivity.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.5
CyberArk Identity's support is praised for effectiveness but needs improvement in response times and engineer expertise consistency.
Sentiment score
3.4
Tenable Cloud Security support receives mixed reviews with praised efficiency and availability, but some note delayed and inconsistent assistance.
They resolved the problem immediately after I reported it, on the same day, within one hour.
They respond immediately when requests are raised, and they are always available for priority one tickets.
I received prompt responses and support, which I would rate as very good.
With Element, if you need a feature, you can discuss it with them, and if implementation is possible, you will have that feature within a month or two, depending on complexity.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
CyberArk Identity is praised for scalability and adaptability, suiting various enterprise sizes despite occasional performance lags.
Sentiment score
5.8
Tenable Cloud Security excels in scalability, praised for handling assets efficiently, but faces challenges in larger multi-cloud setups.
We can use it on different phones and computers, demonstrating its scalability.
When delving deep into the concepts, there is a lot to address and learn, especially when facing real-time scenarios.
You can scale it out pretty easily, and you can implement it very small.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
CyberArk Identity is praised for stability and reliability, rated highly by users for consistent performance with minimal issues.
Sentiment score
7.8
Tenable Cloud Security is stable and reliable, with high ratings and prompt resolution of minor bugs, say users.
We no longer have our data infiltrated by unauthorized persons, and tracking actions within the system has become very easy.
When you have it in the cloud, you have CyberArk every time you need it.
With a stable network, due to the redundant data centers across the globe, it is a lot easier to use as a SaaS solution.
In situations where there was a platform issue, they fixed it immediately and provided a complete explanation for the occurrence.
 

Room For Improvement

CyberArk Identity needs enhanced reporting, integration, ease of use, federation capabilities, onboarding, and intuitive user interface.
Tenable Cloud Security needs improved speed, automation, integration, clearer licensing, better support, and AI-powered features for multi-cloud environments.
It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration.
Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity.
There's a need to enhance network performance.
Adding capabilities for the scanner to automatically pick up changes and add assets automatically would be valuable.
The only complaint I hear in the market is from resellers that Tenable management team in Brazil doesn't play fair with the channel and resellers.
 

Setup Cost

CyberArk Identity pricing is higher but competitive, offering robust services appealing to larger companies needing strong security management.
Tenable Cloud Security is favorably received for its fair pricing, offering good value for enterprise cloud security solutions.
Regarding pricing, it can be quite a lot for small companies.
The pricing is acceptable.
If I am not going fully cloud, there are additional resources I will need to purchase, such as spinning more VMs or acquiring an HSM device to encrypt the vault.
 

Valuable Features

CyberArk Identity enhances security and operations with robust integration, SSO, MFA, and user-friendly features for improved team productivity.
Tenable Cloud Security offers comprehensive vulnerability detection, asset management, and integration, enhancing security and compliance with proactive monitoring.
It impacts zero trust security strategies. It prevents lateral movements in the organization.
The two-factor authentication is very important, but the fact that every account is being regenerated every time we use it is the most important security feature for us.
It is the most powerful access management system.
The automatic integration capabilities, particularly with DNS, Azure, and AWS, are extremely valuable.
Perhaps the best functionalities are related to promoting a deeper analysis of the environment where applications are running in terms of creating a double armor of security to block threats that may come in the cloud with Tenable Cloud Security.
The best features Tenable Cloud Security offers in my experience are automatic scanning, frequent scanning, and automatic finding, which I find valuable.

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.
Antonio Scola - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration
I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.
