Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use this solution for monitoring our network."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users, and we can see the name, login time, IP address, and other information for each connection to each server."
"The stability of the solution is perfect."
"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."
"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes me up to an hour and a half."
"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 features are really powerful, providing really good SSO and MFA features and implementation capability, plus an MDM solution, and the cloud-based setup is simple and scalable."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The best features in CyberArk Identity that I appreciate most are the recent updates that have added features in the cloud privilege environment, including Secure Infrastructure Access, Secure Cloud Access, and Secure Web Sessions."
"CyberArk Identity is at the top."
 

Cons

"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"The ArcSight Analytic is not so easy."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"Room for improvement for CyberArk Identity might be on the support side, as they constantly improve with new features and remove redundant ones, integrating multiple steps into a single one for easier use; however, this is not just CyberArk Identity, as many vendors start with basic troubleshooting services without recognizing that knowledgeable users often reach out after exhausting those options."
"When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process. The translation isn't always good, and it may have a completely different name. I've noticed this in the English to Spanish translation."
"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."
"More integrations would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"This solution is expensive."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"It's not that affordable compared to Delinea or other products. They're less expensive and allow more customization. For the cost, it is expensive."
"I think it is a fairly priced tool. I rate the tool between six and seven on a scale of one to ten where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product’s pricing is expensive and is on a yearly basis. You will need to pay around 10,000 GBP for 500 users."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
