We performed a comparison between CyberArk Identity and Microsoft Entra ID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes me up to an hour and a half."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."
"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 setup, via cloud, is simple."
"This solution is less time-consuming. We don't have to hire as many resources to give permissions to a particular user or group for any application."
"The security features, multi-factor authentication, and service management features are valuable."
"The scalability is quite good."
"Technical support has been great."
"Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, dynamic groups, and extension and security attributes are all great features."
"It's an easy product to maintain."
"It has made our work easier in that it’s simplified everything for us."
"We do not have to deploy lots of machines all over the place to run things as a service, which is how we like to deploy things, just as a service."
"The user interface could be improved."
"More integrations would be better."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"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."
"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."
"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 OpenID features could improve in CyberArk Identity."
"The main issue is that because Active Directory is in the cloud, it will inevitably be dependent on internet connectivity."
"One thing that bothers me about Azure AD is that I can't specify login hours. I have to use an on-premises instance of Active Directory if I want to specify the hours during which a user can log in. For example, if I want to restrict login to only be possible during working hours, to prevent overtime payments or to prevent lawsuits, I can't do this using only Azure AD."
"The downside of using a single password to access the entire system is that if those credentials are compromised, the hacker will have full access."
"I had some issues with the Azure Active Directory on Windows XP. However, it worked well on Windows 7."
"In terms of connecting the web application, there is technology for single sign-on. When we use it, the solution opens very slowly. It might be a bandwidth issue, and some content will not work on that portal."
"Better deployment management and visibility functionality would be helpful."
"Compared to what we can do on-prem, Azure AD lacks a feature for multiple hierarchical groups. For example, Group A is part of group B. Group B is part of group C. Then, if I put someone into group A, which is part of already B, they get access to any system that group B has access to, and that provisioning is automatically there."
"I would like to see improvements made when it comes to viewing audit logs, sign-in logs, and resource tags."
