Cakewalk Reviews & Product Details

Cakewalk is designed for the modern tech company - it integrates extremely well into Slack, and doesn't force users onto a platform they're not used to just for the sake of recording a user access request. I've been looking for a product like Cakewalk for many years, and after attempting to use a competitor for the past year and failing due to over-complexity it has been a breath of fresh air dealing with the fantastic team developing Cakewalk.

The only downside about Cakewalk is that if you're looking for a SaaS management tool, this won't fit the bill for you as Cakewalk doesn't integrate into individual applications to grab user lists or automatically revoke or provision access. However, as a result of this, unlike many competitors Cakewalk is much easier and quicker to implement, and you won't need to spend 6-12 months setting up clunky processes which vary depending on the level of integration with the product.

Running infosec, Cakewalk is a game-changer for us. Before Cakewalk, we struggled with access control, it took up too much time and caused a major decrease in efficiency. Never thought managing access could actually be this easy… Product is super simple, easy to use, powerful and reliable. What really surprised me: not only does security like Cakewalk—our CFO/Finance team loves it too (cutting costs!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that we didnt know about it for 5 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cakewalk has a really nice, light-touch UX that allows your team to easily integrate and record their third-party apps as they use them. No need to review and record all of oyur apps in one go, just add them as you go and manage them easily in the central web app. The data is super powerful once you get people using it too! The team are also really friendly and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to say - I think it's great. I am sure there will be lots of powerful new features to come as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are a startup company, but we want to manage access in a highly professional manner. Most access management solutions out there are way too complex for us. Love Cakewalk for being super simple while still being very powerful! They built a product that employees actually (!) use, which was key for us. It also helps us greatly in working towards our SOC2 accreditation. Slack integration is great as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are super responsive and quick. Feature missing? Team will build it for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work in People Ops and also oversee key IT processes. Managing our employees access to software was very manual and barely trackable in the past. But we want to get it right in order to save costs and to have a correct overview of all our tools. Cakewalk helps us to run this all from one simple place - it’s making my life so much easier.

Hard to say … I really like their product and working with their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplistic setup and usage while, in general, compliance + infosec tools are clunky (not true for Cakewalk). I also love the autodetection feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

startup that is still a bit early, means features are potentially still missing, but they ship fast, so not too big of a downside Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really easy to use. A great plugin that helps both the users and the security department. The Cakewalk staff is super helpful! Onboarding and implementation have been a dream! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything I dislike yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don’t have a dedicated IT or security team yet, but we’re serious about security. Compared to other platforms, Cakewalk is super easy to set up and roll out across the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. Team is super responsive when it comes to feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We feel much more structured now when on- and off-boarding employees; it's much harder to miss any tools or accounts that need setting up or removing.

The team are also super responsive when we have questions or need help.

We're not making the best use of the Slackbot yet so our employees can request access to tooling in a structured way, but I'm excited to try that out, and to see what else Cakewalk have to offer in future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really to dislike, though I'm looking forward to seeing more features in future (probably not long because the team are shipping fast!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The implementation and integration are quite easy and done within a few clicks.

Cakewalk is always supporting and hungry for feedback, and support on short notice - no problem. There are constantly new features and they stick to their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downlights right now and I am sure this is not going to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
