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.

Needs to be easier to configure and to display logs more simply
We use only it for scanning files for viruses. That's the only feature we use in this product It needs to be easier to configure, it should be something that's working well with other sources. It should be something that allows me to see the logs simply. One to three years. Sometimes it doesn't…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features in CyberArk Identity that I appreciate most are the recent updates that have added features in the cloud privilege environment, including Secure Infrastructure Access, Secure Cloud Access, and Secure Web Sessions."
"We haven't encountered any problems with respect to the stability of this solution; it is very stable."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"Identity is the tool that offers the most seamless integration with UiPath Orchestrator and the most utility from an automation perspective."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."
"If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible"
"This product allows us to actually send it straight from our email to the other person's email in a safe way, where we can meet all our regulations and still keep the data in our control."
"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure."
"We use only it for scanning files for viruses."
"Safe-T is very good for users because it has a plug-in for Outlook."
"From a technical point of view, products are stable and scalable, and we do appreciate the personal touch the sales engineers (SE) support and development bring, as well as the personal touch of the sales support, the free online, and web-based training."
"It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files."
"If you need a solution for sending big files to customers or for receiving large files from them, this is a very good solution."
 

Cons

"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"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."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."
"In terms of improvement, they need to be much more strict regarding the roadmap, about timelines and when new features will be up in production."
"When we have something that we want improved, it takes a little bit of time until it can be fixed."
"Setting up Safe-T SDE is very complex. It is not straightforward, and it requires much understanding on the concepts of the product."
"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
"Better UI. A better UI for the people that manage all the processes of Safe-T. Some of the UI is not as intuitive as you would like it to be."
"The cloud solution is not that great especially with Swiss customers."
"I'm not sure what advice I would give others about this product because I don't like Safe-T."
 

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."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"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 pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"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."
