Identity governance has strengthened privileged access controls and supports ongoing compliance
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.

Access reviews and lifecycle policies have streamlined privileged account oversight and onboarding automation
I am not using the access review agent feature in Microsoft Entra ID Governance because that is in preview right now, and I do not know if that is available. My perception of Microsoft Entra ID Governance's ability to handle large volumes of users access and management tasks is good. There is a slight delay from creation of the actual access review to how long it takes to complete the actual review. For us, we are a large organization with over ten thousand employees. If we are doing a review on a larger group that has thousands of employees inside of it, it takes a while to actually complete, and then it becomes a headache for managers. If there were a way to condense that or decrease the amount of time it takes to do it, that would be better. We inspect thousands of people. Microsoft Entra ID Governance can be improved, and I actually have two tickets in with you now about improvements. I would have to dig it up because I do not know off the top of my head, but you can find it. We have two tickets that have been put in by the FastTrack team that I work with for identity governance. I think it was something about the ability to stop reviews early. When you create an access review now, and you put a time gate on it, say it is the end of this week, once the access review is finished, the managers went in there and finished the access review, you cannot finish it until the end of the week. That is a slight problem because we do not get a notification for people that are on the identity side that they have actually finished that, and I think there are two tickets in for that right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the single sign-on service."
"The solution gives me the capability to automatically move guest accounts from the tenant without any manual intervention."
"It is compliant with our RVRT and CSV guidelines."
"The solution is fully scalable, supporting everything from small companies to large enterprises."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID Governance is access reviews."
"The features of Microsoft Entra ID Governance have benefited our organization because we have ServiceNow in our organization and we have been able to create integrations through Lifecycle Management to do onboarding and offboarding easier."
"The most valuable features are multifactor authentication and account creation for the Exchange environment in Office 365."
"Access reviews are an essential feature of Entra Governance. Additionally, privileged identity management is one of its most valuable features. Just-in-time access, or Jet GIT, is integral to this system. Moreover, user behavior analytics stands out as one of its top features."
 

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."
"If you want to conduct access review of database-based applications, then you cannot do that."
"The solution lacks the feature to work well with third-party applications."
"Even though we have almost the full package, there are some bugs."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Governance could be providing more granular control over security policies."
"If you want to conduct access review of database-based applications, then you cannot do that."
"Sometimes, the solution is not super reliable."
"There are some areas where improvements are necessary. Even though we have almost the full package, there are some bugs."
"The product's workflow approval process needs improvement."
 

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."
"There are no additional costs besides the standard licensing fees."
"The solution's pricing is not low but reasonable."
"In the education sector where I work, the annual cost for my Google and Microsoft environments is approximately $35,000. This covers the needs of 3,400 students and 800 faculty and staff members."
"While other products give the pricing for their application, Microsoft Entra ID Governance has a per-user-based license model."
