Have increased security by regenerating credentials after each use and gained confidence through session oversight
We do not specifically use the password vaulting feature of CyberArk Identity. The centralized user dashboard of CyberArk Identity has not been that important for us. If it would be possible to share accounts between vaults in CyberArk Identity, that would be very beneficial. Account sharing between vaults is one of the most important aspects for us. 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. We had sometimes an issue that really took days during the implementation to fix. That was something that I did not appreciate about the whole implementation. It should be much more straightforward, specifically because you're doing a SaaS implementation. I rate it a seven because vendor support is difficult to get. Basically, you have to go through a partner to get support with CyberArk Identity. That's another thing that they could improve.

Great validation and integrity features of the endpoint
Our primary use case of Safenet is for cybersecurity incidents, particularly for remote users.  I'm the customer sales leader and a key account manager and we are customers of Thales.  The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great. Whether you're using a Mac OS or other operating…

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 setup, via cloud, is simple."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
"CyberArk Identity provides identity governance and gives me control over who and how access to environments occurs, offering significant confidentiality in what is accessed."
"The solution has good technical support."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"Identity is the tool that offers the most seamless integration with UiPath Orchestrator and the most utility from an automation perspective."
"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
"I recommend this solution because it protects information."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The interface is easy to use."
 

Cons

"You can do many things in it, but you need a lot of knowledge about dependencies of many things, so it requires time and big knowledge, and for the customer, it's a tough task now."
"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 user interface could be improved."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"The scalability may not be there."
"I'd like to see more networking features, such as the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"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."
"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."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
