Offers Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and supports single sign-on (SSO) across multiple applications but dependency on Identity Connectors for seamless federation can be cumbersome
CyberArk Identity could improve by allowing federation directly or seamlessly, without the need for an Identity Connector. Instead of building separate Azure Connectors, if they could just federate, that would be nice. However, for this kind of feature to work, the customer's environment would need specific configurations. Basically, they could improve the federation capabilities to handle multiple domains separately, instead of just one. Right now, if you're working with one domain, it's okay. But for multiple domains, it becomes a bit complicated. In the on-premises version, you can curate more than one domain seamlessly. However, the SaaS version of CyberArk Identity requires more configuration. Moreover, CyberArk Identity is relatively new. They haven't been in the market for more than two or three years. They're still under development and not yet a fully-fledged product. They're constantly adding features, but they haven't yet achieved complete account management capabilities for all types of accounts, which is likely due to their competition. So, while they are actively promoting it, not many customers are using CyberArk Identity yet.

Automates our user provisioning process and integrates very well with other SAP products but needs better integration with non-SAP products
We use it to automate our user provisioning process. It is used for managing access of SAP users; for example, they can do password reset or assign technical rules to themselves. It is also used for identifying risks It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products. It…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"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."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products."
 

Cons

"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."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"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."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"The user interface could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"The tool has issues with the third-party SMS gateway. The solution has its own SMS gateway. Integration support is a challenge when we don’t use their SMS gateway. The tool also needs to improve its scalability."
"It would be better if we could also manage other systems with it. Currently, you have to purchase plugins for it to work with other non-SAP systems. It would be good if there is an easy way to integrate SAP Access Control with other non-SAP systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"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."
"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."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"It is a part of our package with SAP. There is no extra cost in addition to the license."
