We performed a comparison between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and Ping Identity Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has helped us with our adoption with other teams, and it has also helped us to integrate it at the ground level."
"The password management feature is valuable."
"It gives us the capability to rotate passwords."
"The product is an important security measure against credential theft. It ensures session isolation and password rotation including pushing passwords to the endpoints."
"I found it valuable that CyberArk Privileged Access Manager can be integrated with PTA (privileged threat analytics), and this means that it will tell you if there's a risk to the logins and signs of risk and if risky behavior is observed. It's a good feature. Another good feature is the CPM (central password manager) because it helps you rotate the passwords automatically without involving the admins. It can go and update the scheduled tasks and the services. At the same time, if there's an application where it cannot do all of these, CPM will trigger an automatic email to the application owners, telling them that they should go ahead and change the password. This allows you to manage the account password that CyberArk cannot manage, which helps mitigate the risk of old passwords, where the password gets compromised, and also allows you to manage the security of the domain."
"Password rotation is the most valuable feature"
"All of the features of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager are valuable."
"Its' quite stable."
"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"it manages creds based on Organizational Units. That is, a "safe" is limited to specific OUs. That makes for very elaborate OU structure, or you risk exposing too many devices by putting most of them in fewer OUs."
"We need a bit more education for our user community because they are not using it to its capabilities."
"It can be made user-friendly, in the sense of the console is pretty outdated."
"It should be easier to install. It is a comprehensive product, which makes it difficult to install. You need to have their consulting services in order to get it all installed and set up correctly because there is so much going on. It would be nice if there were an easier way to do the installation without professional services. I suspect they get a fair amount of their money from professional services. So, there is not a huge incentive."
"I would like easier integrations for creating an online dashboard that executives would look at or are able to run reports from the tool."
"The usual workload is sometimes delayed by the solution."
"Currently, in Secure Connect, an end user is required to enter account information manually, and cannot save any of this information for future use."
"The solution could improve by adding more connectors."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."
