We performed a comparison between CyberArk Identity and Microsoft BitLocker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."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 most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes me up to an hour and a half."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"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 BitLocker because it gives us strong encryption to protect our data."
"It is free and native to the OS. We don't have to worry about upgrades or maintaining the product. You encrypt the disk, and you save the recovery key. That's it. The person puts their password in, and after that, it is up to them. If they forget their password, they have to bring it in to get it unlocked."
"The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"The best thing about it is the encryption type and the way it requires TPM when someone tries to access the drive."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"It maintains security on my computer. Since I travel a lot, it gives me confidence that if, for some reason, my computer is lost, my data won't be compromised."
"It is easy to use. It is usually easy to recover someone's privacy. The manageability is much easier than McAfee. I think that Microsoft is a leader in this area. We are in the Microsoft school so our judgment of McAfee will be a little bit unfair as we recommend Microsoft all the time because of the easy manageability and support. I think that McAfee is designed for a different customer and every time we open a ticket with their support, it takes a very, very long time. The main difference is just the manageability and support. In terms of the solution itself or the functionality, I know that McAfee is very strong, but manageability and support, for us, is much more important. It's strengthens the solution for us."
"The product is stable."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"More integrations would be better."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
"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."
"Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."
"In future releases, I would like to see a feature where I can have a view of each device that has BitLocker to see if these machines are encrypted or not. So, I just want a view or a dashboard that can tell us so that I can remediate and add BitLocker to those systems or devices."
"At the end of it all, we are looking for something that can be easier to manage."
"The biggest one for us is revoking access. So, even though someone downloads something to a device, we want the ability to cloak that device or data and bring it back or make that data unusable for that person. Currently, BitLocker doesn't give us that ability. It basically encrypts it. We're seeing if identity management or IAM allows us to do that. We're kind of looking at third-party software that does that for us."
"The console GUI could be better."
"The product must improve the centralization of keys."
"It needs a management console."
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
