Cloud automation has improved development efficiency and supports secure MFA and SSO
The best features in Google Cloud Identity are their cloud, their VMs, and their cloud VMs, which are too good compared to OCI. Using Google Cloud Identity is beneficial in terms of finance as we are always doing automation and AI, and it is definitely the best. I use multi-factor authentication with Google Cloud Identity. Regarding how Google Cloud Identity helps to improve security, I can say that security is something everyone is using. I do not feel any different. After this, everything will be JWT token and all things we are using. I do not feel any difference in there. I have used the SSO feature, single sign-on, with Google Cloud Identity. In a few words, how Google Cloud Identity affected user management within my organization is that it is not done for my organization but for one of my clients only. I already have the ADs there, but still, it is the best. I think the reporting tools of Google Cloud Identity are good. I cannot comment on these kinds of things for this particular product.

Automated lifecycle governance has reduced manual access work and strengthens audit readiness
CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla significantly reduces manual access management efforts due to day-to-day activities. RBAC and role mining actually reduce manual access management efforts significantly. RBAC is the best feature, and it provides AI capabilities. The second feature I value most is identifying lifecycle management for joiner, mover, and leaver scenarios. CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla has one feature that provides strong access reviews, compliance reports, automation, and audit readiness with centralized governance. Centralized governance means we can handle everything at one point, making it a very strong feature. This is integrated with another feature such as SaaS integrations for strong security posture and faster provisioning with reduced operational overhead. These are the four features I value most, and with all my three years of experience, I use and appreciate these four features most. The impact of automation on my access reviews is that it automates the provisioning and de-provisioning. If I were to perform manual tasks such as provisioning and de-provisioning without automation, it would require a lot of time to handle. With this automation, we easily accomplish provisioning or de-provisioning. We simply get the Active Directory users and create the VPNs, cloud, and enterprise applications without any manual intervention. AI-driven role management and RBAC automation significantly reduce service tickets. Without automation, I would need to handle tickets, which involve a lot of manual work and requires additional manual employees. Without automation, this leads to approval delays and manual access assignment efforts. Automated access reviews provide simple audit reports, and by complying with the report, it improves audit readiness while reducing operational workload for IT and security teams.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP, and it becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"Cloud Identity is a cloud-based Software as a Service model, so you don't need to worry about managing the infrastructure."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"It helps users work from anywhere, regardless of their location or country. Users do not need to be in their office geo-location to access applications or resources, which provides flexibility for accessing applications wherever they are."
"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."
"When we implemented CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla, we definitely achieved a lot in terms of security, mitigating business risk across all assets, saving time, and reducing the risk of account compromise and access compromise."
"After implementing CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla, it puts the organization at a very high security level by reducing risk and threats to platforms."
"Idira IGA is a very good solution for privileged access management and stands out against the rest."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is a very new and advanced way of giving the access to an end-user by AI-powered automation, which uses an AI profile to automatically discover and maintain job-appropriate permissions, which is a very helpful and powerful module in an enterprise business."
"The automation part of Idira IGA is what we love the most because it simplifies the use of the application and, with automation, we save a lot of time because it cuts our effort in half."
"The best feature is the secure logins and secure connections."
 

Cons

"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"Pricing is something that can be improved."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The integration should be made easier."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"I believe CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla can be improved by simplifying the workflow and the UI for managing access requests and approvals."
"There is room for improvement in CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla mainly related to automation complexity. Skilled people are required to handle these tasks."
"Improvement suggestions for CyberArk include addressing the on-premises deployment processes, which require a very skilled engineer to handle because of the complexity of the environments involved."
"Idira IGA could improve in the way access is provisioned for different users."
"The primary issue I have experienced with CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is related to support."
"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."
"Idira IGA platform itself is somewhat complex to understand initially, so the UI and user interface could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"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."
