What is CyberArk Workforce Identity?

CyberArk Identity is a SaaS-delivered suite of solutions designed to simplify identity and access management in enterprises. CyberArk Identity unifies Workforce Access and Identity Management solutions in a single offering. Workforce Access capabilities include single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, session security, and credential management. Identity Management capabilities include lifecycle management, identity orchestration, and identity governance. With CyberArk Identity, organizations can secure workforce access to applications, endpoints, and infrastructure and protect themselves from the leading cause of data breaches – compromised credentials.

CyberArk Identity is part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform. Built for the dynamic enterprise, CyberArk Identity Security Platform secures access for any identity to any resource or environment from anywhere using any device.  The CyberArk Identity Security Platform enables operational efficiencies with a single admin portal, streamlines meeting compliance requirements with unified audit capabilities, and delivers Identity Security Intelligence for continuous identity threat detection and protection.

Workforce Access solutions:

  • CyberArk Single Sign-On (SSO) is a solution for one-click access to cloud, mobile, and legacy apps. CyberArk SSO enables a secure and frictionless sign-in experience for both internal and external users that adjusts based on risk.

  • CyberArk App Gateway is an add-on to the Single Sign-On solution that enables VPN-less access to legacy applications. It allows companies to set up per-application, per-user access to individual legacy applications hosted on-premises.

  • CyberArk Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) helps strengthen security and prevent attacks involving compromised credentials by requiring users to present multiple forms of evidence to gain access to your applications. CyberArk Adaptive MFA uses AI-powered behavioral analytics and contextual information to determine which authentication factors to apply to a particular user in a specific situation.

  • CyberArk Secure Web Sessions is a cloud-based service that enables organizations to monitor, record, and audit end-user activity within high-risk and high-value web applications. Security and compliance specialists can use Secure Web Sessions to search recorded sessions using free text input and quickly filter events by users, dates, and actions.

  • CyberArk Workforce Password Management is an enterprise-focused password manager providing a user-friendly solution to store business application credentials in a centralized vault and securely share them with other users in the organization.

Identity Management Services:

  • CyberArk Identity Lifecycle Management provides a way to route application access requests, create application accounts, manage entitlements for those accounts, and revoke access when necessary.

  • CyberArk Identity Flows is an identity orchestration solution that improves security, efficiency, and productivity by automating identity data and events. With Identity Flows, organizations can automate complex identity management workflows and synchronize identity data across diverse applications, directory stores, and repositories.

  • CyberArk Identity Compliance solution continuously discovers access, streamlines access certifications, and provides comprehensive identity analytics. Identity Compliance automates manually intensive, error-prone administrative processes, ensuring all workforce and privileged access rights are properly assigned and continually certified across enterprises.

We use CyberArk Workforce Identity to easily and securely log in to the apps. The platform is easy to implement, offers great features like frictionless login, AI-powered authentication, making it easy to detect anomalies against security breaches, and integrates with most frequently used apps like ZOOM. .
  • Reset passwords in all software is really easy and simple.
  • Integrations to more than 120 external applications.
  • Easy to use and implement.
  • Reports.
  • Custom reports don't always support SQL input.
CyberArk Workforce Identity gives small and non-small businesses the ability to protect their data and applications. Identity management allows my organization to classify and label data to make it easier to assign permissions based on user roles. It also allows you to track activity on shared applications and data, so you know exactly who is accessing what files.It offers great identity management features to help find exactly what we need.

It's a great option for SSO in a larger size business. It's pretty easy to use and is intuitive.
  • Easy app management.
  • Easy deployment.
  • Intuitive to use.
  • No name recognition.
  • The re-enrollment options are clunky.
  • Push can be buggy sometimes.
This is a great option for those who can't use Okta. The functionality is pretty much the same. It's really easy to use and our user base of 1500 plus don't seem to have any issues with this option.

Idaptive is the secure access platform being used for access to certain production systems. This is being adopted over time by my project. The business problems it solves are resolving identity and access management issues over the enterprise systems and having a better way to record all actions on the production machine.
  • Identify.
  • Access management.
  • Audit.
  • Interface.
  • The complexity of the set-up.
Idaptive is well suited in situations where you have many people accessing a production system and need to control access and be able to prove audibility for compliance. It is less appropriate and unnecessary for smaller organizations.

Centrify is used as our global SSO product. We have around 7100 users. We have about 70 applications currently using SSO and are working to include more into it.
  • The IT administration is very strong and easy. My IT team took to the product very easily.
  • The end users love it!
  • Actually, we like the product and roadmap. The subscription service change didn't negatively affect us. The cloud implementation also was very good for us.
All I can mention is that the product works great for us. We wanted a global SSO solution as we harmonized our HR systems. We integrated with AD easily and have been rocking and rolling with it ever since.

Centrify is used for Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-on Feature in organization-wide products. Multi-Factor Authentication has been implemented using RESTFul Services exposed by Centrify and Single Sign-on is implemented using Partner integration features provided by Centrify.
  • Single Sign-on Integration is easy and complete configuration is UI driven with lots of help tips
  • RESTFul APIs for Multi-factor Authentication is easy to use and implement. Also, Centrify supports all new Security features for Multi Factor Authentication and hence you can easily select and configure different challenges based on the policies and roles for the user.
  • Lots of Built-in reports available for normal day to day auditing.
  • Should be flexible to support all industry-wide LDAP solution. Currently, it requires customization if any specific version of LDAP is used.

Our engagement with Centrify started with a separate requirement from another critical vendor. They migrated to an SSO only supported platform which meant we had to find a solution to continue using their services. We evaluated several vendors but ultimately we determined Centrify best met our current and future needs.
  • The administrative functions have a low learning curve which saves on the administrative overhead.
  • There are already thousands of pre-built apps to integrate Centrify with.
  • Deployment to the organization was seamless and worked as intended with the apps we went live with.
  • Support was a little slow on responding to new cases
  • You cannot disable the "Mobile" tab from a users profile meaning they think they have the ability to provision mobile devices and access apps via their mobile device.
Centrify encompasses several solutions right out of the box. In addition to SSO, we are now looking to implement MFA across the enterprise and also at our VPN.

It is being used across the whole organization. We started out with them for our mobile device management solution and have moved on to SSO and their user portal. The user portal will help us centralize the user experience and give us a way to point our users to one spot for their apps rather than all over the place.
  • Mobile Device Management
  • SSO
  • User Portal to centralize your apps
  • They do not support Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway
They are well suited for mobile device management. The only place we see so far that they don't address is support for the Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway. That could just be not enough people use it to make it worthwhile, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make the software run with it.

Centrify is being used across the whole organization, we started implementing it to work with a IT service desk we are rolling out to users. It allows us to roll out the ticketing system without having yet another password. We also will be rolling it out to other departments that utilize a high number of SAAS/websites.
  • Multiple Active Directory sources
  • Provisioning users into connected apps
  • Reporting and security policies
  • Attribute Mapping
  • Online directory for internet down/server down scenarios
  • Provisioning requires basic programming/scripting knowledge if you want to include additional user details
Centrify Application Services is well suited is well suited as an SSO, MFA on windows computers for compliance needs. Reporting to backup compliance requirements. Security policies that are customization to your environment. Scenarios where it is less appropriate would be sites/regions where multiple internet service providers are not an option or have limited options, the SSO is a real time authentication and if that connection is unavailable so is the login to whatever is pulling from it.

We're using Centrify for our SSO on our SharePoint 2013 online and DocuSign access. These apps are used by our company in four provinces in Canada and so far no issues.
  • Ease of configuring of apps for SSO
  • Ease of deployment to end users
  • No issues so far since we implemented the solution four years ago.
  • Customer support is great
  • Some of the menu tabs don't have a help guide while others do.
  • Reports should have the option to be saved in PDF format.
Centrify is well suited with integration of cloud apps and from experience, the setup was so easy with a few clicks of a button.

We use Centrify Application Services for our SharePoint Online authentication. It is being used by the whole organization. We have two offices in the East and two offices in the west. Centrify simplifies our authentication with SharePoint Online as it is directly connected to our Active Directory for users authentication. So our authentication now is seamless and efficient.
  • Easy to implement
  • Great technical support
  • Very nice user interface.
  • Updates default should not be automatic. Make it a discretion of the company/users.
We only use Centrify for our SharePoint Online authentication so basically, I can only recommend it for online authentication where we have been using it for a few years now. Our experience has always been very good since we started using it and only experienced some issues last week which got resolved quickly.

Centrify has a suite that simplifies and centralizes all installation and configuration. The upgrades are made agile and easy.
Large-scale implementation really helps a lot when there is a console that centralizes information. The implementation time was very fast, in 5 months we had already implemented it throughout the company's servers.

A very interesting function that is worth noting is the centralization of the "sudo" that in the centrify is called dzdo. This function centralizes and organizes every level of access of users. So the administration happens to be centralized differently than what we have today in our environments with sudo.
  • Ease of installation in Linux and Unix environments
  • Ease of implementation in Linux and Unix environments
  • Update with ease in Linux and Unix environments
  • Centralized administration
  • Missing options for automation for Linux
  • Missing examples in the ADedit documentation for scripting
I recommend Centrify. In my opinion, it is the best authentication platform in the market. With all the simplicity of installation and configuration, I use it in my Linux environments and in 3 years I must have opened 3 cases.

When you are tired of managing local users and want to maintain an organized and standardized environment you should analyze the use of centrify for your company.

Centrify is being used across the whole organization. We are currently using it to join Macs to the domain and for single sign-on.

Centrify really bridges the gap for Macs in an enterprise environment. Being able to manage them with group policy has made my job better and will allow us to scale much more efficiently.

We are also using this for SSO in all of our applications. Being able to have our users enter and single, MFA protected portal, is a great experience.
  • Single Sign-On has been a great way to get our employees into the systems they need
  • Mac AD integration has been a lifesaver for managing Macs with GPOs
  • MFA was a smooth and easy roll out
  • I haven't had many issues with Centrify to date. The few technical ones have been solved pretty quickly.
Centrify is great if you have to have Macs in your environment. The support and integration they give has been amazing and really bridges the gap that Macs otherwise have in an enterprise environment.

Thinking about all the time we have saved using this really makes me chuckle at all the old business practices we used to do.

I use it to log into most programs and to access a dashboard of programs that are available to us. It's steady and reliable. It allows us to not have to remember or store multiple passwords to log into our programs, and allows the organization to track logins.
  • It's clean, steady, reliable, and secure.
  • It always works which is important.
  • It's easy to integrate with other programs, like Zoom.
  • Occasionally, I get logged out of Gmail, sometimes in the middle of an email. I'm not sure why it happens, but I think it has something to do with timing out. Which is strange because I'm on email all day. Not sure why.
It's great for large enterprises, and maybe unnecessary for smaller businesses with only a handful of users.

We use Centrify SSO across the board in my organization. We use it for most of our applications and it makes using the applications easier than remembering a ton of extra passwords. The MFA is great for sensitive applications and the implementation was a breeze. The customer support is fantastic, especially for applications that take a bit more loving than the ones with templates. Admin portal is easy to understand and navigate. Overall great decision.
  • Single sign-on (SSO)
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Secure access and self-help password portal
  • Not many cons. Great price and solution.
Implementing SSO for a range of applications. Templates make it easy to implement and understand and customer support is fantastic if you have any issues. Great application, and will be implementing the solution for all applications and all future applications. More secure applications like ADP that we will implement with MFA for an additional level of security.

Centrify is used as an Identity Provider for several applications in the whole organization. On one hand, it provides our internal users a single sign-on experience to many applications, on the other hand, it helps us to keep our environment secure with Multi-Factor-Authentication and Condition-based Authentication rules. Additionally, it provides multiple options to provision user, groups or roles to the connected applications.
  • flexible usage of authentication rules
  • easy to use for users and admins
  • great reporting and troubleshooting features
  • great support
  • admin Portal performance (partial)
  • cloud Connector usage (connectors are chosen randomly, not per location)
  • logout URL customization
well suited...
- for any company size, as it is very scalable
- for any company that is looking for an IdP to set up SSO and wants to secure Access to MFA

less appropriate...
- for companies that are satisfied with their current, alternative IdP or don't have the need of an IdP (which is hard to believe :))

We currently use this to log into all IT Services related software. This is in use exclusively in the IT Services Department at this time but plan to roll out to the rest of the Faculty/Staff over the summer. We use the product for SSO and MFA enforcement. We plan to use the SSO for everyone but only MFA for users with privileged access.
  • Ease of use for the end user
  • Ease of administration use
  • Deep Application Pool already pre-canned.
  • More Mac integration
  • More app integrations
  • Otherwise, I am quite content.
I am very happy with the product. It allows us to publish all of the apps needed for users in one spot then leverages SSO for their access. It allows us to granularly enforce MFA as our business case requires. We can enforce MFA for the SSO login or for individual apps.

It is used for our whole organization to connect SaaS products from our businesses to easily connect and use SSO functionality. Currently we have 10 applications connected. Furthermore are we using the user provisioning feature but not for all connected applications. With Centrify we were able to provide flexible authentication methods to our internal customers.
  • Flexible authentication Methods
  • Support is excelent
  • Flexibility to add additional feature is good
  • The conditional access feature to handle office 365 products outside the company individually is missing in our environment. A reason can be, that we are not using the MDM functionality of Centrify.
Centrify Application Services is in my opinion well suited in the area of authentication and multi factor authentication. The configuration possibilities are incessant and very useful. Furthermore Centrify its strengths in the support area, were knowledgeable and polite support members are trying to deal with any kind of problems very fast.

We have been using Centrify for quite some time and are very pleased with the product itself. Their support and team of Customer Success Managers are exceptional, always are available and have never gone without resolving an issue. I work for a property management company and to have all of our applications in one place and easily accessible is a huge time saver. Our users have only one user name and password to remember making our help desk queue go down by not having all those passwords reset tickets. Can't say enough about Centrify: great product, excellent support!
  • Manages access in central location
  • Gives us that extra layer of security
  • Cuts down time spent on password reset
  • More apps available

Centrify Multifactor and Same Sign-On (SSO) functionality were rolled out to our entire company to protect the companies resources and IT systems from unauthorized access. Passwords are no longer safe enough and expecting our users to remember many different passwords simply isn't an answer. We selected Centrify to protect access to our companies resources from anyone accessing the systems external to one of our branch offices. If external to the company, you must perform a multifactor authentication to gain access -- across all systems, period. Internally and externally, we utilize Centrify so that users can log in to many different IT systems using just their email address and network password. This reduces the number of passwords a user is expected to know.
  • Many methods of Multifactor Authentication - a Phone call, SMS text message, security questions, mobile app, etc.
  • Top Notch Support - Willing to work on issues until resolved.
  • System Up-time and Stability.
  • Security-Minded Company.
  • Lacks a large application catalog of pre-built solutions to work with many online vendors. Okta and Duo have a larger catalog of pre-built solutions to just click and configure. Centrify lacks this, but their support is great at configuring the applications regardless of the catalog.
Very well suited to protected IT systems for Multifactor authentication and single sign-on

We used Centrify to SSO to a variety of internal apps both admin, hr, compensation, sales, knowledge base, and expense reporting.
  • It allows a diverse and geographically separate team to have a single source of knowledge and navigation. In a rapidly growing organization, it allows you to quickly have 1 location to then navigate to HR, Admin, Sales, Expenses, Knowledge Transfer, and other relevant applications
  • The strength of Centrify is to have a central single location for information to be accessed.
  • I don't see much room for improvement.
[Well suited for] Growing organizations, central repository of application access, ease of access. You aren't running down access and logins to 10+ applications. Huge time savings and low support cost of ownership.

Our company uses a lot of different software platforms. We use Centrify for single sign-on to get onto all of our platforms. All departments use it: HR with Namely, PlanSource, etc., Sales: Klue sales intelligence, Learning Center. There are probably a dozen platforms we log into through Centrify.
  • Very convenient home page to get wherever we need to go
  • Even signing in through your phone is very quick and easy
  • I kind of wish there was a desktop app instead of using a browser
  • Sometimes it makes me log in a couple times

Centrify is being used to migrate thousands of users on thousands of Linux and UNIX servers to Microsoft Active Directory authentication and authorization. This provides a single location to remove/grant access and roles and maintain passwords.
  • Central management of accounts.
  • Central management of access roles.
  • Central management of authorizations (Sudoers file).
  • API support seems to be a little lacking, but we've just begun exploring.

We use Centrify as our SSO and to manage identities across the entire organization. We continue to move more applications to the Centrify portal to manage onboarding and offboarding individuals in our organization.
  • We appreciate that we can push apps to our entire user base and individuals can add their own.
  • This helps us manage shadow IT systems access and deactivation upon termination.
  • Even though we don't have a single Active Directory, we were able to create a more seamless experience for our users.
  • As much as I like the tool, it is another point of possible failure.
  • More apps would be great. I'd like Centrify to be more aggressive in bring more applications into their menu.

We use Centrify in an educational setting for about 1900 students and about 230 professional in a PK-12 school district. Our youngest students are able to navigate through our web apps and internal programs with ease! They do not have to remember long email address logins or varied passwords. It is also beneficial for teachers and support. No matter which computer is accessed, information is just a click away. Managing the backend is also easy. Once roles are set up and apps are configured it is ready for the user. Working with support is a pleasant experience. The Centrify team works diligently to solve your issue quickly.
  • With young non-reading students, once the initial login occurs, Centrify is simple for the students to navigate where they need to go.
  • Managing apps on the back end is quick and easy! In a matter a just a few minutes it is ready to deploy.
  • Support is amazing!! Everyone is helpful in solving the issue as quickly as possible.
  • I cannot think of anything.
In a school setting, it has been a lifesaver. When a student can be in a program and working in a few seconds, he/she is spending more time on tasks. Typing in a complete email address as a login is difficult for younger students and valuable time is lost. It is nice for teachers and staff to have a dashboard that is accessible from home as well as school.

We first chose to use Centrify just as a federation alternative for ADFS for use with Office 365. It gives our users the same seamless SSO that they got from ADFS and it provides us with granular MFA and better security to meet the requirements of our company security policies. After implementing Centrify for federation, we found that we were able to replace several existing systems with what was already included with our Centrify subscription. We replaced BES, AirWatch, and Good with Centrify for our MDM solution; we of course replaced ADFS; we replaced SecureAuth for SAML assertions; and we are bout to replace DirSync with Centrify provisioning. This solution also became the default user portal for access to our web-based applications and hosted services, which simplified our users' access when away from our office.
  • Implementation of the Centrify solution for federation with Azure/Office 365 takes about 15 minutes versus the several hours it can take to stand up other solutions.
  • Mobile Device Management (MDM) has granular controls for administrators yet is very easy for our users.
  • I have been in the IT field for over 20 years, and the technical support at Centrify is by far the best I have ever encountered.
  • Granular Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) works perfectly and is easy to set up and maintain.
  • If you ever have to re-federate with Azure/Office 365, it only takes a few minutes, which is amazingly fast in comparison to other solutions we have tried in the past.
  • Establishing SAML assertions is well documented and easily accomplished. If you do run into any issues, Centrify technical support will assist you.
  • Centrify is excellent about proactively sending communications regarding problems and maintenance releases.
  • The Centrify Identity Service solution is constantly being updated and improved to not only bring new features/innovations, but also to make sure that everything is kept safe against the latest security threats.
  • As a customer, I truly get the impression that my business is important to Centrify and they try to be a good business partner.
  • Centrify listens to suggestions regarding the product development. This is true for suggestions regarding the admin/user interface as well as requests for new features.
  • I wish the setup for Centrify MDM with Android for Work was more streamlined like the way they have the Office 365 federation. This may be something that Centrify can't improve since it involves Google.
  • We have had a few issues with mobile devices not updating their settings as quickly as we would want.
  • I would love to see a client-side application for use with FIDO devices such as YubiKey.
  • It's difficult to really provide many cons for Centrify since they trend to be very proactive. At least half the time that I have a suggestion for them, it turns out that they have just released or are about to release the feature I'm requesting. Like I said in the pros section of this review, Centrify has the best support team I have encountered in over 20 years of being an IT professional.
  • I would love it if Centrify were to release a hosted SSLVPN solution so that we could get away from needing a dedicated on-prem SSLVPN appliance.
Centrify is a great solution for anyone looking to start using Office 365. It is also a great solution for anyone wanting to provide their users with an SSO solution using OAUTH, Federation, or SAML for any hosted service. If you are looking to use Centrify for MDM but you aren't using a hosted/hybrid email solution such as Office 365, there are better on-premise options that should be explored.
