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.

Offers strong support and consistent updates improve security features
It is a heavyweight application. The product deployment and installation takes time, and the environment details are complex. ForgeRock is very quick to deploy on Tomcat, but Oracle Access Manager must be deployed on WebLogic, a heavyweight server. You cannot deploy Oracle Access Manager on Tomcat. If an organization has sufficient budget to spend on servers, then it is useful. For organizations that do not want to spend too much money on Oracle Access Manager, maintenance and upgrades take time, whereas with ForgeRock, that is the opposite as fewer resources are required. Being a heavyweight application, it will take more time for deployment and installation compared to ForgeRock or Okta. Okta is cloud-based, so it does not take much time. ForgeRock on-premise only needs deployment on a Tomcat server, making it less complex as it is a lightweight application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"The features are really powerful, providing really good SSO and MFA features and implementation capability, plus an MDM solution, and the cloud-based setup is simple and scalable."
"It has aided in troubleshooting by allowing logs to be extracted and sent to a correlation engine, such as QRadar, for notifications or alerts."
"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."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"I would tell others that this solution is reliable. If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"With the Access Management Suite, you get identity federation, virtual directory and various other things so we can combine all of our backend Active Directory and other pieces into a directory that looks like one directory, including external users, vendors, and outside people with whom we have partnerships."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
 

Cons

"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"This solution has MDM (Mobile Device Management) features, but they are weak."
"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."
"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
"Technical support needs improvement, they could be 200% better. The reason that most people are having problems is because of the support they provide."
"Oracle Access Manager is only suited for enterprise identity and access management but it should be able to all support customer identity and access management use cases as well."
"Customer Service: Poor. The EBS Access Gate support was delivered as a patch and support was not able to solve various problems, which I believe to be attributes to more current versions of OAM and WebLogic not being backwards compatible with the documented solution."
"Technical Support: Bad, when we have problems Oracle Support doesn't fix it."
"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"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."
"The pricing is acceptable. It is worth considering what we are protecting with the amount charged."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The tool is affordable."
