A new way to perform multifactor authentication using specialized SaaS software
Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to One month I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors. I have been using SecurID tokens and wanted something that didn't require hardware authentication devices.…

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

"Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes me up to an hour and a half."
"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."
"What I like most about CyberArk Identity is the model that is in place."
"The straight-through approach of CyberArk Identity is very easy to start with; after you start with it, you can very easily onboard your privileged accounts, and from there on, you can advance further and make it more and more secure."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Identity are its ability to control access to administrative staff."
 

Cons

"I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors."
"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."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated. While I would rate CyberArk Identity and Okta on the same level, Okta's reporting is crisper and clearer."
"Something they could improve is the management of multifactor authentication. When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process."
"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"While CyberArk Identity is a leader in Identity Security, the integration of multiple components could be improved."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
