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

"What I like most about CyberArk Identity is the model that is in place."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"The user self-service program and the Office 365 provisioning service feature are the most valuable. It is a very easy and feature-rich solution that gives priority to the users and security."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"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."
"The support of CyberArk Identity is really good."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
"I think that this product was really designed with scalability in mind, and we currently have about 1.6 million users and I am not aware of a limitation."
"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 product was built to be scalable."
"Oracle Access Manager is a very efficient solution if you're working with Oracle applications like ELT, and so on."
"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
 

Cons

"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"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."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"Room for improvement for CyberArk Identity might be on the support side, as they constantly improve with new features and remove redundant ones, integrating multiple steps into a single one for easier use; however, this is not just CyberArk Identity, as many vendors start with basic troubleshooting services without recognizing that knowledgeable users often reach out after exhausting those options."
"The tool has issues with the third-party SMS gateway. The solution has its own SMS gateway. Integration support is a challenge when we don’t use their SMS gateway. The tool also needs to improve its scalability."
"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."
"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"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."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"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."
"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 of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"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."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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."
"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 product is a little expensive."
"The tool is affordable."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
