CyberArk Privileged Access Management vs. OCI Identity and Access Management

I always recommend CyberArk based on my experiences at several different jobs and industries. It does a great job of helping you create all kinds of use cases and approval flows for accessing and using privileged accounts. It also does a great job securing local admin passwords on servers. End-users of the system are able to quickly and easily start utilizing the more secure method of obtaining credentials in minimal time with minimal overhead/tax on their work time.

We are using this for our resident facing applications. Areas they need to improve is building in more of the OIG functionality into their cloud service. This hinders us for managing identities that require multi-value attributes.

• The initial product cost is a little on the higher side, which might turn off small & medium enterprises.
• As it talks about security, it has a lot of hardware/software requirements for the initial setup, which might make the rollout timeline a little lengthy.

If users are trained properly, they can fully utilize the solution. We have only contacted customer care 2-3 times in the last 3 years. Once everything got set up according to DJSIR regulations that's it, Oracle Identity Cloud Service works flawlessly. We are currently managing 3 IDCS stripes for different teams and the ease of management is very noticeable.

I've been an engineer and architect in the Identity space for many years and CyberArk is the #1 tool I've found to help me secure accounts and credentials. I've architected CyberArk and built the implementation from the ground up twice in previous roles and found it here upon my arrival at my current job. I wouldn't want to have to live without it as it helps me sleep at night

The support for Oracle Identity Cloud Service is generally good. Nevertheless, it can take some time to get a response from the support team which creates initial frustration, and the customer will have to wait till the SR gets assigned to a support person.

Manage Engine's Password Management solution can accomplish the same features however, their system is cumbersome and not as user friendly to operate. It is however great for small teams. Pleasant Solutions Password Manager Pro can accomplish some of the same things, but the web browser interface is not user friendly at all

Oracle IDCS is a true enterprise-level cloud solution to our organization's needs. Everything is so intuitive that is much easy to follow and learn. The Oracle support and documentation feature is excellent and makes our work easy to do. I see a bright future for this product and continue to see improvements in the product.
