Featured Reviews

Erik Aceiro - PeerSpot reviewer
An excellent solution for B2C connection between our customers with an easy setup
Today we use home basic authentication and authorization, and we would like to move away from cloud and use some kind of IDP to improve authentication and authorization for our customers. So, for example, we can use the social logging feature in Auth0 to improve the customer experience. The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly. So if you use one measure like active user format, you need to talk to the support from Auth0 to check the price.

Allows Linux and Unix administrators to login with single password
The solution helps with auditing, and monitoring, and integrates with Splunk for log analysis. User activity logs are captured in CyberArk Identity and sent to external tools like Splunk for analysis and monitoring. It is integrated with tools like Splunk and Dynatrace for the analysis of risk behavior and user activity. The pushing teams receive automated reports to assess factors such as login times and server activity in the last 60 days. The licensing for IAM and PAM tools is based on headcount and usage. Users who are not actively utilizing the resources may have their access revoked. This approach helps manage budgeting and reduces the risk impact on the organization by implementing protocols to mitigate threats.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"It offers stronger security and flexibility with API keys, which are generated on runtime."
"The most important feature for me was the ease of use, as it needed to be easy to integrate into my platform."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"If we had to develop our own and manage it, it would take years of development and maintenance. In those terms, it’s definitely beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"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 identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
 

Cons

"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"I find it surprising that there is no access to a standard user profile."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"The tool's price should be improved."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"More integrations would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am pretty happy with the pricing model of Auth0. It is very clear for me. Considering our scale, the features that we are using, and additional features that we bought, we still find it great. If you split the costs for the whole year and calculate the number of people you needed to hire, it always comes out to be much lesser than what we would have spent on building our own solution."
"The tool is cheaper compared to competing solutions. Those alternatives tended to be more expensive. Consequently, Okta purchased it because it was considerably cheaper. The solution even offered some free services while still providing excellent functionality."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
"Pricing of Auth0 is a pain point. Their pricing model is very confusing, at least for an enterprise. I don't like their pricing model. I think it's too aggressive. It's not very cheap for a service that only does authentication."
"There are different price levels: B2B, B2C, and enterprise. The basic plan is about $1,500 per month."
"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."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"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."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
