CyberArk Identity 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.

CyberArk Identity could improve by allowing federation directly or seamlessly, without the need for an Identity Connector. Instead of building separate Azure Connectors, if they could just federate, that would be nice.

However, for this kind of feature to work, the customer's environment would need specific configurations.

Basically, they could improve the federation capabilities to handle multiple domains separately, instead of just one. Right now, if you're working with one domain, it's okay. But for multiple domains, it becomes a bit complicated.

In the on-premises version, you can curate more than one domain seamlessly. However, the SaaS version of CyberArk Identity requires more configuration.

Moreover, CyberArk Identity is relatively new. They haven't been in the market for more than two or three years. They're still under development and not yet a fully-fledged product. 

They're constantly adding features, but they haven't yet achieved complete account management capabilities for all types of accounts, which is likely due to their competition. 

So, while they are actively promoting it, not many customers are using CyberArk Identity yet.

In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one. They struggle with identifying risk scores efficiently because their risk scoring relies on the manual entry of access data. In contrast, SailPoint excels in this aspect and can detect and provide superior governance scores more effectively.

To be equitable, one notable aspect is that CyberArk is gradually moving away from on-premises components and migrating them to the cloud. However, from my perspective, they should consider retaining some on-premises components instead of entirely removing them. I understand that this decision might be related to cost and future prospects. Nonetheless, considering the global trend of securing and controlling data, offering everything solely in the cloud could become problematic for many organizations.

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.

I don't have any feedback for ways Identity could improve — at least not for this use case.

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.

The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product. We would expect a better and easier operational service from 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.

They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly. 

They're providing artificial intelligence and they're using the UBA. However, this part can be more effective.

This solution has MDM (Mobile Device Management) features, but they are weak. We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices. 

I think that there is a weak point in the Japanese market because they currently do not have a service person in Japan.
