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.
Radosław Szyszko - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Consultant at Clico
Modern access controls have streamlined daily MFA use and support complex privileged workflows
The area that is missing much is about the reporting part. I would rate Idira Identity in general about eight. It has a good set of features compared to other identity security platforms. It's well-composed on different layers but requires platformization to go further to make it easier to use. You can do many things in it, but you need a lot of knowledge about dependencies of many things, so it requires time and big knowledge, and for the customer, it's a tough task now. It was very bad in the past. Now it's going better, and I expect that this platformization transition will help in succeeding more in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the solution is perfect."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"We use this solution for monitoring our network."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"Investigating an incident has become super easy and helpful."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I like their filtering and their reporting tools, I like their integration with many other different tool sets, which is similar to other products as well, the solution is easy to implement, and I have found the product to be quite stable and scalable."
"The UI is very simplified, and the documentation of CyberArk Identity is very crisp and clear."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."
"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."
"From my perspective, platformization is an advantage because it's an experience that big customers can take advantage of, or the platformization part because it's easier to manage and easier to deploy because of that."
"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 has good technical support."
"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."
"The setup, via cloud, is simple."
 

Cons

"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"Their support team could be better."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"The ArcSight Analytic is not so easy."
"Their support team could be better. They've gone downhill since their product has been acquired."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"Customer service has not been up to the mark. They take longer than they should to resolve issues."
"I faced some challenges during the initial setup of CyberArk Identity. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
