Find out in this report how the two Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"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."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"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."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the integration with external websites one-factor authentication."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"Okta Workforce Identity is easy to use and has a lot of components."
"Its integration components are most valuable. It integrates with everything in some way. There are some products, such as O365 or AD, with which it completely and 100% integrates. So, you can seamlessly create accounts across the board with some of these products. For some of the products with which it doesn't completely integrate, you can do some kind of interfacing."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"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."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"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."
"This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."
"The stability could be better."
"I would appreciate it if Okta Workforce Identity becomes more user-friendly. Its API technology is complicated. Certain applications may pose challenges in terms of integration, especially when they require IDP technologies that aren't easily codable. While I can't provide specific examples, some applications may not integrate with Okta Workforce Identity."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"In my country, there's a lot of stealing of mobile phones, and mobile phones are the authentication device through the Okta application. If someone should steal my mobile phone, which is very common in my country, he or she might have access to my company account. That's my concern."
