Mahmudul Hoque Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Engineer at intelQong Technology
Centralized access has improved privileged control and visibility yet still needs better integrations
While the access control capabilities are useful, streamlining some configuration and policy management workflows could enhance the user experience for administrators. A simpler interface for creating access policies and quickly identifying unusual activities would make day-to-day administration more efficient. Stronger integration with existing identity data and secret management could be a significant improvement for Idira Privileged Access Manager. Deeper integration with cloud solutions would make it easier to correlate privileged access activity with other security events. I would also appreciate more flexible reporting and dashboards so administrators can swiftly see access patterns and unusual privileged access from a single view.

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

"Technical support is excellent; one of the most knowledgeable and well-trained support staff."
"CyberArk is a solution to problems being faced by multiple companies and organizations, as it removes security threats and vulnerabilities from an organization in a secure way, and your credentials are handled in a secure way, so it solves this pain area in a company, and that is why I think they are one of the top tools."
"With CyberArk, everything is a click away for us."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it's the best in the market. I haven't seen any other PAM solutions better than CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault."
"I would recommend CyberArk Privileged Access Manager."
"CyberArk is the key technology around which we have built our security management solution."
"The solution is highly stable."
"It allows users to self-provision access to the accounts that they need."
"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

"The initial setup could be simplified. Right now, in comparison to its nearest competitors, it's quite complex."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"It's expensive and you're not getting anything new. It's just a control, but in terms of risk, you are covering a big impact on the company."
"We found the initial setup quite difficult. There were a lot of errors and we found the process to be a bit complex."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"As of now, it does not manage all of the IDM practices. It is only good as a PAM solution."
"CyberArk lacks the following functions for a better IAM like solution: - Provision accounts for systems and directories. - Create access to the systems. - Monitor if any new account has been created into the system. - Better GUI for the end-user and also for administrators."
"It could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I encounter issues, and I do not know what the issue is."
"Scalability, however, can only happen vertically on any particular instance, as opposed to horizontally."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault's pricing is reasonable."
"CyberArk is good at what they do, and the price reflects that. You have to pay the price for the same."
"Generally, I don't get involved in the licensing or the purchasing side of it, but I do know that the licenses are expensive."
"It's not a cheap application. It's very expensive."
"Quite expensive"
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is a very expensive product."
"The price of CyberArk support could be a little bit less. Otherwise, pricing is fine."
"I do not have any opinions to add about the pricing of the product."
