Helps to react promptly with monitoring and alerting capabilities
We use Ermetic for monitoring and alerting.  The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time.  Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms.  I have been working with the solution…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."
"The features that I personally find most effective in terms of security stem from the fact that it is easy to integrate and also the adoption is faster."
"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."
"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."
"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."
"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."
"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."
"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."
 

Cons

"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"More integrations would be better."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"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."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"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."
"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."
"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."
"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."
"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."
"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."
"The product must provide more features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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's not that affordable compared to Delinea or other products. They're less expensive and allow more customization. For the cost, it is expensive."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"The tool's pricing is fair."
"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
