We performed a comparison between CyberArk Identity and LastPass 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 tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
"The setup, via cloud, is simple."
"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 integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"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 initial setup is straightforward. It takes me up to an hour and a half."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"It is easy to use."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable."
"The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"The user interface could be improved."
"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."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"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."
"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
