Sentiment score
6.7
Delinea Runtime Authorization offers scalable, flexible access management with reliable performance, supporting growth and high availability for all organizations.
Sentiment score
7.1
Idira Identity is highly scalable and adaptable, suitable for various company sizes, but architectural scalability can be complex.
If a larger organization such as Microsoft or Dell adopted it, there would be more privileged accounts, showing the product's potential to grow if issues in maintenance and crashing are resolved.
Iam Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
StrongDM's scalability is impressive; it is highly available, and we never perceived any latency issues.
Dev Ops Engineer And Solution Architect at Scania
StrongDM has very large and good scalability, capable of providing a million data in a second, showcasing its great scalability.
Senior Analyst at Toll Holdings Limited
When delving deep into the concepts, there is a lot to address and learn, especially when facing real-time scenarios.
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
You can scale it out pretty easily, and you can implement it very small.
Cloud Specialist at Perini Beheer
CyberArk Identity is definitely a scalable solution; it all depends on the money that you have, as with anything else.
Senior Cyber Security Specialist Architect at a outsourcing company with 11-50 employees

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.
Senior Cyber Security Specialist Architect at a outsourcing company with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Delinea Runtime Authorization requires improved customization, setup, integration, AI insight, MFA options, and enhanced dashboards for better enterprise management.
Idira Identity faces challenges with integration, usability, documentation clarity, and CyberArk struggles with reporting complexity and scalability issues.
StrongDM has limited MFA and passwordless options, relying heavily on time-based one-time passwords (OTP) or Duo, lacking support for true passwordless setups like biometrics or hardware YubiKeys, and it does not support per-session MFA.
Senior Analyst at Toll Holdings Limited
It would be beneficial to have better control and alignment between frequent updates and improved communication regarding possible negative effects on existing customer bases.
Senior Data Engineer at a non-profit with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is difficult to find documentation or materials to review how it works, and there is less product material available in the market.
Senior Network Security Engineer at EMAK For Computer Manufacturing (ECM)
It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration.
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity.
Head of IT at Skutin Solutions
There's a need to enhance network performance.
Senior Technology Manager at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Delinea Runtime Authorization offers cost-effective pricing and strong support, with beneficial licensing and access control for cloud management.
Idira Identity offers flexible, slightly expensive pricing with justified service quality and discounts, appealing to medium to large enterprises.
The setup cost was free, with technical staff aiding our onboarding, requiring us only to cover the license fee.
Dev Ops Engineer And Solution Architect at Scania
It was mentioned that while the product is rapidly gaining features, it might become cost-prohibitive for wider usage.
Senior Data Engineer at a non-profit with 1,001-5,000 employees
My thoughts on the pricing of StrongDM is that it is expensive.
Director at LivePerson
Regarding pricing, it can be quite a lot for small companies.
Access Management Analyst at Telefónica
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.
Head of IT at Skutin Solutions
For comparison, Okta was around five dollars per user.
Lead Identity Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Featured Reviews

AmitRathod - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Analyst at Toll Holdings Limited
Secure access has transformed our audits and weekend operations run smoothly
StrongDM does not support multi-port and distributed clusters, as the raw TCP resource type is strictly single-port and cannot handle protocols requiring multiple concurrent ports or distributed brokers like Kafka. Third-party client compatibility is another area for improvement, as StrongDM is designed to work with the standard Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection on Windows but may not fully support alternative RDP clients like the Windows Store Remote Desktop.Additionally, StrongDM has limited MFA and passwordless options, relying heavily on time-based one-time passwords (OTP) or Duo, lacking support for true passwordless setups like biometrics or hardware YubiKeys, and it does not support per-session MFA. These are the drawbacks that need improvement for StrongDM.
Radosław Szyszko - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Consultant at Clico
Modern access controls have streamlined daily MFA use and support complex privileged workflows
The area that is missing much is about the reporting part. I would rate Idira Identity in general about eight. It has a good set of features compared to other identity security platforms. It's well-composed on different layers but requires platformization to go further to make it easier to use. 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. It was very bad in the past. Now it's going better, and I expect that this platformization transition will help in succeeding more in the future.
