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.

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.

A set of tools that allows you to manage user access to the Fiori apps and specify what users can do and see in the apps
Seamless integration is the most valuable feature. There is some functionality where you can go and enable and disable everything in no time.  You could use only SAP provided the API to extract. And there is one channel I experienced during the data migration, which allows us to create the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I personally find most effective in terms of security stem from the fact that it is easy to integrate and also the adoption is faster."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"As soon as it is implemented, it fundamentally changes how users access systems, providing immediate security benefits."
"Identity is the tool that offers the most seamless integration with UiPath Orchestrator and the most utility from an automation perspective."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"Overall, I would rate CyberArk Identity a nine out of ten."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"It has aided in troubleshooting by allowing logs to be extracted and sent to a correlation engine, such as QRadar, for notifications or alerts."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the provisioning of a lot of SAP systems, as it offers automated provisioning and the integration capabilities are good."
"Seamless integration is the most valuable feature. There is a there is some functionality where you could go and be enabled and disable everything, you can do it with no time."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"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."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"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."
"The automated provisioning only works well with the SAP products and there are some problems with the non-SAP products. Even if it is SAP, if it is a non-ABAP system, it is a little bit problematic."
"Only component, I would think the database is inbuilt. So you could use only SAP provided the API to extract. And there is one channel I experienced during the data migration, which is which allow us to create the customer or delete the Customer. And it won't allow for any change. The data migration needs improvement."

"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."
