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.

Identity management enhances connectivity and productivity with streamlined access and robust security, offering time-saving processes and facilitating seamless integration with other BI tools
One area that could be improved with SAP Identity Management, other than support, is user engagement from an implementation perspective. It would be beneficial for SAP to extend their events and workshops that are currently performed for partners to their final customers, as many customers want to know what's new and what else they can do without solely depending on the partners. For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers. The support could be improved for the specific needs in Brazil, as many customers have difficulty accessing the support center due to the language barrier. This feedback is specific to Brazil, though it's unclear if SAP receives similar feedback from other countries. It could certainly be enhanced with Portuguese documents, among other improvements.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has been fair because we have been in from the beginning or close to the beginning. I know it is not truly an identity access management system yet, but its price was one of the appealing factors for us to purchase it at the time. It was reasonably priced."
"When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
