Lead Consultant at Wipro Limited
Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea has very good support."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"The solution helps with auditing, and monitoring, and integrates with Splunk for log analysis. User activity logs are captured in CyberArk Identity and sent to external tools like Splunk for analysis and monitoring."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"From my perspective, platformization is an advantage because it's an experience that big customers can take advantage of, or the platformization part because it's easier to manage and easier to deploy because of that."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."
"What I like most about CyberArk Identity is the model that is in place."
 

Cons

"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The initial setup is a bit complex, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"You can do many things in it, but you need a lot of knowledge about dependencies of many things, so it requires time and big knowledge, and for the customer, it's a tough task now."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"At the moment CyberArk needs to enrich Conjur and it needs to be made more viable so that its adoption can be made much faster."
"This solution has MDM (Mobile Device Management) features, but they are weak."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"In terms of general user feedback, the more security you put in front of a user, the more they complain. So usability and the user experience are always a challenge. So there's always room for improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
