We performed a comparison between CyberArk Identity and Microsoft Entra ID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"The setup, via cloud, is simple."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"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."
"The two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security for our organizational data, so Microsoft Authenticator plays a crucial role in making our confidential data more secure."
"We haven't had any problems with stability. Everything works fine."
"We have about 80 users in the Azure Active Directory right now, however, we know that if it was necessary to scale it for hundreds or thousands of users, it wouldn't be a problem."
"The performance is good."
"The security features are great. They will report in advance to you in the case of suspicious activity."
"Every feature in Microsoft Entra ID plays a crucial role in overall security."
"Personally, I'm a great fan of Azure Active Directory due to the security and compliance features that are there in the classic or default Azure Active Directory."
"Coming from a traditional on-premises Active Directory infrastructure, it is purely a SaaS platform. It is global. It is evergreen. It is always evolving. It is core to the Microsoft Ecosystem."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"CyberArk Identity could improve by having the ability to better manage the network, such as Cisco. There seem to be some issues in this area."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"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."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"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 want to see more features to improve security, such as integrated user behavior analysis."
"The synchronization with the local Active Directory and synchronization with all of the users on the local and cloud could be better."
"There is no great solution in the cloud for Conditional Access authentication and RADIUS-type authentication."
"Microsoft Authenticator is as easy as Google Authenticator, but it is not open to all types of applications. Google Authenticator is integrated with other third-party platforms and applications, whereas Microsoft Authenticator is not. It should have more integration with third-party platforms and applications."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of its integration with the local Active Directory. There are some gaps in terms of the local Active Directory through which Microsoft is syncing our environment from our data center. There should be the availability of custom attributes on Azure Active Directory. In addition, there should be the availability of security groups and distribution groups that are residing on the local Active Directory. Currently, they are not replicated on Azure Active Directory by default."
"Azure AD needs to be more in sync. The synchronization can be time-consuming."
"Microsoft is working with Microsoft Identity Manager for Active Directory on-premise. It will be very important to have these identity management solutions directly in Azure Active Directory. It's very important to have some kind of Azure identity manager as a technology for identity and access management for working both in the cloud and inside the Azure suite."
"Four years ago, we had an issue with Azure AD. We wanted to reverse sync from Azure AD to on-prem Active Directory, but we couldn't achieve this. Azure AD could connect only in one way, for example, from your site to Azure. If you needed to do the reverse and connect from Azure to on-prem, there was no way to achieve it. We asked Microsoft, and they told us that they don't support it."
