Centralized password sharing has improved secure access and streamlined global team workflows
The important limitation that I find in 1Password Business is that recipients, when you share the data with them, can always manually store that data locally. No system can fully prevent that. We just need to trust the person whom you're sharing the data with. It's not ideal for strangers or unknown parties where we can give them the credit card, which is not ideal. The limitations of 1Password Business where it allows the users to store their data locally are the only limitation, but it doesn't affect the fact that we are using the platform itself because it's really helpful for the team.

Has strengthened privileged access control and improved audit visibility through session monitoring and password rotation
On the identity product side, it is awesome. However, they can improve in the documentation parts. For example, if there is a migration process, I can see the maximum customers are moving from self-hosted to on-premises or from on-premises to the cloud. It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration. A clear overview document would assist us in understanding more about the tool, configurations, and automations to enhance our security. Regarding the initial setup of CyberArk Identity, I faced some challenges. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components. I could not find the proper documentation in the community portal.
