We performed a comparison between CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and Okta Workforce Identity 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."Their legacy of more than 20 years is very valuable. It brings a lot of stability to the product and a wide variety of integration with the ecosystem. Because of these factors, it has also been very successful in deployment. So, the legacy and integration with other technologies make the PAM platform very stable and strong. In terms of features, most of the other vendors are still focusing just on the privileged access management or session recording, but CyberArk has incorporated artificial intelligence to make PAM a more proactive system. They have implemented threat analytics into this, and there is also a lot of focus on domain controller production, Windows Server protection, and stuff like that. They have also further advanced it with the security on the cloud and DevOps systems. They have a bundle licensing model, which really helps. They don't have a complex licensing model. Even though in our market, people say CyberArk is expensive as compared to some of the other products, but in terms of overall value and as a bundling solution, it is an affordable and highly scalable product."
"We are able to rotate credentials and have privileged account access."
"We know when passwords will be expiring so we can force users to change their passwords, as well as requiring specific password requirements for length, complexity, etc."
"Increased our insight into how privileged accounts are being used and distributed within our footprint."
"Central Password Manager is useful for agentless automated password management through AD integration as well as endpoints for different devices."
"The combination of CPM and PSM resolves a lot of use cases."
"The password management feature is valuable."
"It enables us to secure accounts and make sure they are compliant."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"They have good push authentications."
"Workforce Identity's best features include its user-friendliness and easy setup."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"Many of the infrastructure folks who use the product dislike it because it complicates their workflow. They get a little less control, and they have to go through a specific solution. It proactively logs in for them, which obfuscates some of the issues that they may be troubleshooting."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in the report section. I also work on other tools, such as Thycotic, which allows you to create customized reports for your organization's needs. In CyberArk, there are limited reports, whereas in Thycotic or some of the other PAM tools, because the database is different, you can customize the report based on your needs through SQL queries."
"I would like to see is the policy export and import. When we expend, we do not want to just hand do a policy."
"CyberArk has to continue to evolve with that threat landscape to make sure that they're still protecting those credentials that are owned by those that have privileged accounts in the firms."
"Currently, in Secure Connect, an end user is required to enter account information manually, and cannot save any of this information for future use."
"One of our current issues is a publishing issue. If we whitelist Google Chrome, all the events of Google Chrome should be gone. It is not happening."
"Tech support staff can be more proactive."
"They need to provide better training for the System Integrator."
"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"The guest user access could be improved."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"The solution is very expensive."
