CyberArk Identity Initial Setup

CyberArk Identity's deployment is easy. For deployment, the timeline depends on the number of applications a company has. For instance, if there are around 100 applications, the deployment process is expected to take no more than two weeks. For larger organizations, it can take one month to complete. The entire IT process for creating rules and user entitlements for each application can take at least a month. For large organizations with 500 or more applications, at least 20 people are needed to manage the product daily.

Since this is a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) offering, the vendor handles most of the things, around 75%. 

CyberArk does have good documentation, but there is room for improvement, maybe about 5%. 

The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals.

For example, in my recent project, we encountered an issue. User accounts and groups weren't showing up in CyberArk Identity when trying to pull them from the customer directory. We had to troubleshoot extensively, and the documentation didn't provide the necessary guidance. Thankfully, with CyberArk's help, we resolved the issue.

So, an improvement they could make is to clarify in the documentation the specific configuration changes needed for different customer goals. For instance, pulling user accounts, security groups, and user server security groups requires specific configurations that weren't clearly outlined in the documentation. This is the 5% area they can improve on.

Integrating CyberArk Identity with other IT infrastructure is not simple, it is a bit complex. You need to bring multiple domains together and ensure various networks connect. 

It's not just about the cloud environment; you also need firewalls and configurations, making it a management challenge. So, it's not easy, but it is not overly complex either, maybe moderate with some complexities.

It's a one-time setup. If you do it correctly the first time, then it runs smoothly.

It's a straightforward process if you have skilled resources on hand. However, if your resources lack the necessary expertise, they might face challenges.

The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution could be deployed in a week.

For the deployment process, we need to get your networking right and make sure you download the correct version of the solution, after which you can deploy the solution after ensuring that you have all the required infrastructure.

A manager and a senior engineer are required for the deployment and maintenance.

The solution's initial setup is quite complex because it has its individual way of doing things.

I would rate the tool’s setup a seven out of ten. The solution’s setup is easy if you have the right person for it. A person who is inexperienced with the deployment process should go through a lot of documentation to install the solution.

The deployment will take around three to four weeks to complete if the servers are configured properly. Our deployment took about two weeks to complete. You need only one person to deploy the product.

It is on the cloud. There is not any infrastructure to deal with. That's why it's actually very easy.

The maintenance is provided by CyberArk. It's a cloud solution, so maintenance is easy. Just you should review your integrations.
