Frequently Asked Questions
How long does TigerAccess take to deploy compared to CyberArk?
TigerAccess deploys in minutes with a single binary installation. CyberArk deployments typically take 3-6 months due to complex infrastructure requirements including dedicated servers, databases, and vault architecture. Most teams are productive with TigerAccess on day one.
Can TigerAccess handle enterprise-scale deployments like CyberArk?
Yes, TigerAccess is built for enterprise scale with high availability, multi-region support, and horizontal scaling. Our architecture is more efficient than CyberArk's legacy design, supporting thousands of concurrent sessions with lower infrastructure costs.
How does the total cost of ownership compare?
TigerAccess offers significantly lower TCO than CyberArk. We eliminate expensive professional services for deployment, reduce infrastructure costs with our lightweight architecture, and provide transparent per-user pricing instead of complex license models. Most customers save 40-60% over five years.
Does TigerAccess support AI agents unlike CyberArk?
Yes, TigerAccess is the first PAM platform built for the AI era with native support for AI agent identity, rate limiting, action budgets, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). CyberArk has no AI agent capabilities and is not designed for autonomous systems.
What about compliance certifications (SOC 2, FedRAMP, etc.)?
TigerAccess maintains SOC 2 Type II certification and supports compliance frameworks including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR. We provide the same audit trails and compliance controls as CyberArk in a more modern, accessible format. FedRAMP certification is on our roadmap.
Can we migrate from CyberArk without disrupting operations?
Yes, TigerAccess supports phased migration where you can run both systems in parallel. Start with new resources or specific teams, validate the functionality, then gradually migrate existing workloads. Our professional services team provides migration planning and support.
