Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The setup, via cloud, is simple.""The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization.""The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients.""I found the solution to be stable.""It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening.""The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory.""I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users.""The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."

"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice.""The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."

More UserLock Pros →

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.""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.""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.""We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices.""The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product.""The OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity.""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.""In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."

More CyberArk Identity Cons →

"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home.""I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
