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.

Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"The UI is very simplified, and the documentation of CyberArk Identity is very crisp and clear."
"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."
"We haven't encountered any problems with respect to the stability of this solution; it is very stable."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"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 straight-through approach of CyberArk Identity is very easy to start with; after you start with it, you can very easily onboard your privileged accounts, and from there on, you can advance further and make it more and more secure."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"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 MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"The product supports customization."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
 

Cons

"This solution has MDM (Mobile Device Management) features, but they are weak."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"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."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated. While I would rate CyberArk Identity and Okta on the same level, Okta's reporting is crisper and clearer."
"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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 solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"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."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"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."
"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."
"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 tool is affordable."
