The most valuable feature is the ability to control users with admin rights. Even if developers and senior folks maintain their admin rights, we can still manage their activities.

A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good.

While CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a great tool, I believe the functionality could be wider. If it could work not only with permissions but also involve pure EDR tasks or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, it would be great.
