Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes me up to an hour and a half.""The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface.""I found the solution to be stable.""The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward.""I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users.""CyberArk Identity is a mature product.""The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients.""The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."

More CyberArk Identity Pros →

"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program.""The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies.""Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives.""Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great.""This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite.""We have found the solution is capable of scaling.""For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic.""I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."

Cons
"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.""I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform.""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.""The user interface could be improved.""They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature.""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.""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.""We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."

More CyberArk Identity Cons →

"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands.""Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers.""When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to.""Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions.""Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities.""They need to integrate more with security options.""In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune.""There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
