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."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"The user self-service program and the Office 365 provisioning service feature are the most valuable. It is a very easy and feature-rich solution that gives priority to the users and security."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"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 most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"While it helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protection through encryption, the tool is really enhanced with the combination of other Microsoft Security and Compliance features like data labeling."
"The manageability of it is a valuable feature."
"It holds significant value as it reduces the need for extensive IT management to handle security across networks and environments"
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Microsoft BitLocker can be used to ensure that stolen PCs or laptops do not lose their data."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. The ability to import data to build your frontend on top of the data is very simple and very useable."
"Integration with System Center Configuration Manager (C: and D: logical drives are encrypted before installing Windows via SCCM)."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"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 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."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"More integrations would be better."
"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."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"The people at the first level of support refer you to articles that do not pertain to the problem at hand."
"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."
"BitLocker should be available on standard Windows. We need to spend money on a Pro license to get BitLocker because it's essential to protect our customers' data. We don't want that to fall into the wrong hands."
"The management of the product could be made a little easier."
"The pricing should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The solution should offer encryption for other items such as shared folders, removable media, etc."
