Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS.""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 tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization.""The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward.""The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff.""The initial setup is straightforward. It takes me up to an hour and a half.""The setup, via cloud, is simple."

"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions.""The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability.""The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol.""AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system.""The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing.""Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked.""We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well.""It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."

Cons
"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.""They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature.""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.""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 OpenID features could improve in CyberArk 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.""The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."

More CyberArk Identity Cons →

"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution.""Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests.""There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team.""Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace.""Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades.""From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product.""This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome.""One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
  • "There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
  • "I would rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product’s pricing is expensive and is on a yearly basis. You will need to pay around 10,000 GBP for 500 users."
  • "The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
  • "There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
  • "In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."

  • "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."
  • More CyberArk Identity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."
  • "In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market. This solution is more expensive by 30 or 40 percent."
  • "I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
  • "The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
  • "I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
  • "If you purchase it for one year, it is very expensive. If you get it for three years or up to five years, then you can bargain a better price."
  • "There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
  • "The cost is a little bit high."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

    PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

    Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
