A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

The ability to customize the UI would be good nonetheless, it is still a great interface.
Don't get overwhelmed with the product, and give an honest effort in trying to implement it yourself. You will find that you have opened an enormous door for yourself to get anything done. Since I started using UMRA, any request that comes through my desk is almost immediately possible because I know what UMRA can do. Also, creating the projects yourself, will save you time and money in the future when updates are needed to existing projects. Tools4Ever technical support is always available to answer questions if you get stuck. That said, UMRA is primarily a user management tool for your users, in whatever directory you happen to be using; So my statement above will only apply if you are also quite well versed with the workings of said directory.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate the ease of use for support analysts."
"CyberArk's capabilities and functionality outperform other solutions."
"CyberArk makes our environment more secure and prevents possible attacks by compromised accounts."
"CyberArk has helped us to identify, store, protect, and monitor the usage of privileged accounts."
"The features that are most effective, like every PAM solution, include monitoring and password rotations."
"It takes people out of the machine work of ensuring credentials remain up-to-date, and handles connection brokering such that human usage and credential management remain independent."
"CyberArk PAS helps ensure accounts are managed according to corporate policies."
"The solution helps our developers access internal systems. It also helps us in Privilege Access Management."
"UMRA has been in production for seven years, and I can confidently say that I have never had a single issue with stability, even through upgrades."
 

Cons

"It can be made user-friendly, in the sense of the console is pretty outdated."
"If you don't know the product well, it might not be easy to set up, because CyberArk has several modules."
"Making the reports more editable would be beneficial."
"They can work on the pricing part. Its pricing is a big challenge here."
"It needs better documentation with more examples for the configuration files and API/REST integration"
"Cost efficiency is the number one thing that can be improved in my mind."
"The initial setup was somewhat complex, but we received help from the product support team with the installation."
"I would like to see improvement in the custom connector for integration with different devices."
"Scalability, however, can only happen vertically on any particular instance, as opposed to horizontally."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The main problem for the tool is its licensing. I work for a really big company. When you try to develop this as a service, usually you work with leverage teams who are formed with dozens of members. You might dedicate one FTE, or less, for something, e.g., an antivirus administrator. You might have half an FTE's effort dedicated to administering the antivirus, but then you have a team of about 30 users who might access that ticket. The problem is that CyberArk eliminated the possibility of concurrent users years ago. This is a big problem for companies who work with leverage teams. You need to pay for everyone. 40 licenses are used by 20 or 30 people. This is a big problem because licenses are not precisely cheap."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The product's licensing is yearly. I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing is slightly higher compared to other solutions, but it is reasonable because there are better security features."
"The solution is costly but we get what we pay for."
"No, I do not have any advice on the price of the product."
"The license CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is on an annual basis."
"Compared to other solutions, it is costly."
