Stephen Hui - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Architect at DataAssure
Has all necessary functionalities, is sophisticated and mature; still contains some bugs
There are still some bugs in the solution but a lot less than there used to be. Unfortunately, CyberArk and BeyondTrust are in fierce competition. Many customers have already adopted CyberArk, but they need a proven remote access solution and are likely to go with BeyondTrust. Both solutions can be used, it's just more work for IT to manage them. CyberArk is still leading the market share globally, and BeyondTrust is always classified second, followed by Delinea or Thycotic.
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.
