It has improved our system and network policy monitoring
They should improve on the following: * Timely resolution of issues and proper support once a ticket has been generated. * Systems appearing on the network which are not part of the domain controller. These should be monitored. * Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked. * Logger monitoring should be separated from ESM monitoring. * Ability to integrate with cloud-based applications and monitor cloud-based events. * Ability to log and notify tailored rules via SMS/email. * Provide more ArcSight training and workshops.
Julio Montero - PeerSpot reviewer
Access management system provides strong security and effortless user authentication
The solution can be deployed on cloud or on-premises. CyberArk is more on the cloud than on local hardware. The deployment is initially quite difficult. That said, when you are doing the implementation of CyberArk, there are so many tutorials that make the learning process very easy. The only complaint could be the language barrier. It's difficult if you don't have a very good level of English. Otherwise, it is very easy. You can have it set up within three months without much difficulty. It's hard to get started, however, once you get going, it gets easier. A full deployment takes half a year or less. There is some maintenance necessary. A company is constantly hiring and letting go of employees. The access is always changing, so access must always be adjusted. Or, if we need another law of filter, we would need to add those, or even take them away. That's another aspect of maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The correlation engine is good."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"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 feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"Overall, I would rate CyberArk Identity a nine out of ten."
"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"The interactive dashboard is complicated and you need to have training in order to use it, so I think that it could be made easier to use."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"The product is not cheap, especially if you opt for an on-premise deployment requiring a complex server infrastructure. On the other hand, choosing the software as a service version simplifies infrastructure requirements but necessitates being online all the time."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."

"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"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."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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."
