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.
Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"The most valuable features of BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe are the ease of use and the API is very nice. Additionally, the interface is very good between AD and Unix."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe has made companies a lot safer."
"Secrets Safe is highly scalable without interruptions to the current infrastructure."
"They've done a great job implementing all possible features; it's the best tool there is and no competitors come close to the level of sophistication and maturity of the product."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"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 feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."
"The support of CyberArk Identity is really good."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes me up to an hour and a half."
"The features that I personally find most effective in terms of security stem from the fact that it is easy to integrate and also the adoption is faster."
"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."
"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."
"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."
 

Cons

"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues."
"The product contains some bugs."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"The solution is relatively stable, but not all bugs have been fixed."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"The product needs to leverage the cloud more, especially in the financial sector, where cloud adoption might be limited. Proper reporting within the cloud is essential. The tool should be more user-friendly to expedite access for users. The current agent-based system poses challenges if a user loses access to the server, making tasks difficult to perform. It should also improve technical support."
"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."
"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."
"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."
"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
