Automated lifecycle governance has reduced manual access work and strengthens audit readiness
CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla significantly reduces manual access management efforts due to day-to-day activities. RBAC and role mining actually reduce manual access management efforts significantly. RBAC is the best feature, and it provides AI capabilities. The second feature I value most is identifying lifecycle management for joiner, mover, and leaver scenarios. CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla has one feature that provides strong access reviews, compliance reports, automation, and audit readiness with centralized governance. Centralized governance means we can handle everything at one point, making it a very strong feature. This is integrated with another feature such as SaaS integrations for strong security posture and faster provisioning with reduced operational overhead. These are the four features I value most, and with all my three years of experience, I use and appreciate these four features most. The impact of automation on my access reviews is that it automates the provisioning and de-provisioning. If I were to perform manual tasks such as provisioning and de-provisioning without automation, it would require a lot of time to handle. With this automation, we easily accomplish provisioning or de-provisioning. We simply get the Active Directory users and create the VPNs, cloud, and enterprise applications without any manual intervention. AI-driven role management and RBAC automation significantly reduce service tickets. Without automation, I would need to handle tickets, which involve a lot of manual work and requires additional manual employees. Without automation, this leads to approval delays and manual access assignment efforts. Automated access reviews provide simple audit reports, and by complying with the report, it improves audit readiness while reducing operational workload for IT and security teams.

Have experienced ongoing challenges integrating with existing workflows despite strong foundational capabilities
I don't know how I would assess the impact of AI-powered threat detection for us. It has helped with security operations in general; I'm being very cagey here, Damian. You can understand why. Where I work, there is a directory services team. There is a security team. The security team may have several different departments in there. I think they are behind the times. That's about as far as what I would say. We may have the modern firewalls and detections and all the rest of it, but I think from a modern way of working, which the identity is a user which is any device, any place, anywhere, from anything, okay, securely, they're not quite up with that concept, in my opinion. The review rating is 8.

Pros

"When we implemented CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla, we definitely achieved a lot in terms of security, mitigating business risk across all assets, saving time, and reducing the risk of account compromise and access compromise."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is a very stable product, and I do not see a lot of issues with it most of the time."
"The features of CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla that I have found the most valuable include credential masking, time-bound access, and using it for the approval of workflows and audit trails for compliance-related tasks."
"We had these spreadsheets all over the place, but now we have a library of evidence to consult when needed. Zilla keeps everything in one place. It's not scattered all over anymore."
"Overall, CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla helps us automate user access reviews, provisioning, and de-provisioning for both human and machine identities across hybrid and multi-cloud environments."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla offers unique features and is mostly secure and automated, and I strongly recommend this product due to its eighty percent less impact on access reviews, which is useful for audits, compliance, and security governance."
"After implementing CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla, it puts the organization at a very high security level by reducing risk and threats to platforms."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is a very new and advanced way of giving the access to an end-user by AI-powered automation, which uses an AI profile to automatically discover and maintain job-appropriate permissions, which is a very helpful and powerful module in an enterprise business."
"The product enables organizations to synchronize users to Microsoft 365 products."
"I would evaluate the customer service or technical support with Microsoft for Entra products as well; we are a strategic partner, so we're one of 500 companies that can talk to them directly."
"We have various options available with Microsoft Entra, such as B2B cross-tenant guest member accesses, and we can invite users and perform activities from that area, while we are also dealing with Azure IaaS, infrastructure as a service, which has different IAM platforms existing with resources or subscriptions."
 

Cons

"Improvement suggestions for CyberArk include addressing the on-premises deployment processes, which require a very skilled engineer to handle because of the complexity of the environments involved."
"Maybe this is coming with their AI module, but I would like to see a feature that performs baseline analysis of permissions that may not fit into a role, and it attempts to group them into a role. We've run into problems with applications where someone has not created a role but assigned ad hoc permissions to a user. We still need to do some manual work to identify the group that the user belongs to. It would be amazing to have Zilla streamline that."
"Organizations with highly customized, long-standing legacy IGA tools may face a steep learning curve and complex data migration when moving to this modern AI-driven or cloud-native solution."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is lacking in the governance side of identities compared to competitors."
"The first thing that can be improved is the central admin console."
"There is a higher cost model for the initial setup as compared to the other ecosystem lock tools like Google Cloud or Azure Cloud identity."
"The primary issue I have experienced with CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is related to support."
"There is room for improvement in CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla mainly related to automation complexity. Skilled people are required to handle these tasks."
"Integration with other products must be made easier."
"Integration with existing IAM solutions has not helped our identity management processes; it's all of the things that are in front of Directory and Entra, such as SalePoint and other toolsets, give us one of the worst identity experiences I think I've ever come across, which is why I'm trying to change it."
"In my opinion, Microsoft Entra Workload ID can be improved in several ways."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has been fair because we have been in from the beginning or close to the beginning. I know it is not truly an identity access management system yet, but its price was one of the appealing factors for us to purchase it at the time. It was reasonably priced."
