Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
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.

Provides secure secret management with granular controls and professional support
The tool is very good, but the commercialized training, which is paid, could be improved. Regularizing those trainings as part of a global alliance between the customer, SI partner, and CyberArk would be more profitable, allowing relevant SMEs to be trained better. There are training courses available that sometimes provide coupons on a yearly basis. If those coupons increase from about 10 to 20 people, it would provide better opportunities for SI partners Tech Mahindra to train resources and gain visibility with customers. There are indeed paid training courses for partners, and while they shouldn't be entirely free, the coupons can make them free. Increasing those coupons would allow more resources to be trained rather than limiting them to just two or three.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I had one machine that I could not use due to an invalid token. They resolved the problem immediately after I reported it, on the same day, within one hour. It is a very good experience."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"We haven't encountered any problems with respect to the stability of this solution; it is very stable."
"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"I find the CyberArk Identity portal quite intuitive; it has changed a lot over the last year and a half and if you think logically and understand your environment, it is easy to establish a suitable setup for yourself and all your vendors."
"The solution has good technical support."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"The granular controls of CyberArk Secrets Management are very niche in their development and very secure from the overall secret management perspective, offering high-level functionalities where we have control over user access, which can be tracked and monitored."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved."
"CyberArk Identity could improve by having the ability to better manage the network, such as Cisco. There seem to be some issues in this area."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"This solution has MDM (Mobile Device Management) features, but they are weak."
"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."
"Something they could improve is the management of multifactor authentication. When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process."
"I faced some challenges during the initial setup of CyberArk Identity. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components."
"It was pretty complex to implement CyberArk Identity. We had some help from a partner, and that helped a lot. But even for the partner, it was really difficult to streamline the process of implementing."
"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"The tool is very good, but the commercialized training, which is paid, could be improved."
"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."
"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"We did not have a good experience with technical support because their numerous processes caused delays in engaging, leading to project delays or issues with production."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"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."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product’s pricing is expensive and is on a yearly basis. You will need to pay around 10,000 GBP for 500 users."
"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."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"CyberArk Secrets Management has a moderate pricing structure based on a per-tenant licensing model rather than a per-user account model like their PAM solution."
"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
