Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients.""The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory.""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.""The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization.""The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward.""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 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."

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions.""We use the product to run different reports.""PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable.""The solution is highly stable and scalable""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

Cons
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform.""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.""More integrations would be better.""There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals.""In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one.""The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product.""The product is not cheap, especially if you opt for an on-premise deployment requiring a complex server infrastructure. On the other hand, choosing the software as a service version simplifies infrastructure requirements but necessitates being online all the time.""They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."

More CyberArk Identity Cons →

"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users.""PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep.""It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
