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.

Great validation and integrity features of the endpoint
Our primary use case of Safenet is for cybersecurity incidents, particularly for remote users.  I'm the customer sales leader and a key account manager and we are customers of Thales.  The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great. Whether you're using a Mac OS or other operating…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."
"What I like most about CyberArk Identity is the model that is in place."
"Identity is the tool that offers the most seamless integration with UiPath Orchestrator and the most utility from an automation perspective."
"CyberArk Identity provides identity governance and gives me control over who and how access to environments occurs, offering significant confidentiality in what is accessed."
"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"I recommend this solution because it protects information."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
 

Cons

"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"At the moment CyberArk needs to enrich Conjur and it needs to be made more viable so that its adoption can be made much faster."
"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."
"CyberArk Identity is kind of expensive."
"The reporting functionality is somewhat complicated."
"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."
"Some areas experience slowness based on the workload. There's a need to enhance network performance despite the good user experience with access management."
"More integrations would be better."
"I'd like to see more networking features, such as the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"The scalability may not be there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"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."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
