Customization involves making changes to fit customer requirements. Maintenance usually involves sometimes having issues with different connectors, mostly the Active Directory and LDAP connectors. Periodic aggregation of accounts and applications sometimes go through issues with firewalls. Sometimes they do not work, and you need to make sure your connectors are all in sync, especially your LDAP and AD connectors. Sometimes there could be some issues occurring between these two connectors, so there will be maintenance on that side, making sure they are working on a regular basis based on your monitoring plan. Taking backups regularly and periodic backups are essential. Both the support rating and the overall product rating for CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is eight out of ten. Eight means they have complete processes in place to help support, they have resources available, and there is a method to contact them and get response quickly. In that regard, eight is appropriate because they reuse some of their main PAM components which is very good, and compared to other products which I ranked around nine, they should be at eight.

Excellent support, beneficial integration, and low maintenance
I have found IBM Cloud Identity Service to be highly scalable. It can handle thousands of users. IBM solutions are truly enterprise-grade. You don't find a lot of use cases for small businesses, or even sometimes medium businesses, the price point does not fit smaller businesses. The implementation effort, it's hard to find that cost-benefit.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is a very stable product, and I do not see a lot of issues with it most of the time."
"I enjoy the ease of setup and creation of a review. Being a user of the tool or kind of an admin of the tool, the ease of setup of an access review is valuable."
"We had these spreadsheets all over the place, but now we have a library of evidence to consult when needed. Zilla keeps everything in one place. It's not scattered all over anymore."
"One of the most valuable features of IBM Cloud Identity Service is that it delivers integrations with the commercial SaaS software that's available."
"It is stable. We can automate many of our daily operations with it, and we don't have to manage many things manually."
"It is multiple identity and access management, so all of the applications are valuable. It's also part of the automated process."
 

Cons

"Maybe this is coming with their AI module, but I would like to see a feature that performs baseline analysis of permissions that may not fit into a role, and it attempts to group them into a role. We've run into problems with applications where someone has not created a role but assigned ad hoc permissions to a user. We still need to do some manual work to identify the group that the user belongs to. It would be amazing to have Zilla streamline that."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is lacking in the governance side of identities compared to competitors."
"There is still no automated way to de-provision access as a result of a review, but they are getting there in terms of making it unified. They are getting closer to that."
"IBM Cloud Identity Service is going in the right direction with the product. They need to keep building out the integrations and having the library is very critical."
"The initial setup is complex, it's not straightforward. It takes months because it's not straightforward."
"Everything can be more stable and secure. There could also be more account features. I would like to be able to do more things through it to manage users' accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has been fair because we have been in from the beginning or close to the beginning. I know it is not truly an identity access management system yet, but its price was one of the appealing factors for us to purchase it at the time. It was reasonably priced."
"The price of the solution is expensive for non-enterprise companies. IBM's always going to be a little more expensive, you're going to be paying a premium. However, depending on the organization's needs, there's probably a benefit there to do even with the price being the way it is."
