Featured Reviews

Pavan Ingaleshwar - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Analyst at ISECURION
Centralized access visibility has improved investigations but the interface still needs simplification
In my experience, the best feature of CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is its ability to provide clear visibility into user access and permissions, which helps me quickly identify over-privileged access permissions and suspicious accounts. This platform helps me check user access history, permission details, and role assignments easily. During investigations, it confirms whether user access is legitimate or not, providing clear visibility into permissions, which is what I really appreciate about this tool. Other key features of CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla include a centralized view of user access, access certifications, review detections of over-privileged accounts, identifying risks, and visibility. Additionally, it assists with login alerts for privilege misuse and suspicious activity. CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla has positively impacted my organization by improving visibility into user access and reducing the risk of over-privileged accounts, which can affect costs for us and our clients. It has also supported faster investigations, allowing for better control over user permissions, thus impacting my organization positively.
Luis Gabriel Mieles Benavides - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Architect at Sonda S.A.
Identity protection has strengthened daily access control and improved passwordless security
The best features of Microsoft Entra ID Protection include the password dictionary, which we do not have in Active Directory. Conditional access is excellent because we can select the location from which users authenticate, and this is the best feature for me. Another valuable feature is the ability to identify critical or suspicious computers. If computers are too old or too suspicious, the system does not allow authentication, which is excellent. The effectiveness of automated remediation for handling identity threats is great. I use passwordless authentication with cellular phone authentication, which is excellent because we do not always need a password. Microsoft Entra ID Protection is a great solution overall because it improves security in the company through identity management. It improves integration with other solutions such as Google, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, and Facebook. We can create different applications and integrate with different services.
