    Best-in-Class On-Premise PAM Offering that Requires Planning & Commitment

    4.0
    May 12, 2026
    CyberArk Privileged Access Manager (On-Premise) is one of the most mature and comprehensive PAM platforms that I have evaluated and deployed. Within an organization that operates across hybrid cloud environments and with a multitude of legacy on-premise servers and accounts that still remain, CyberArk PAM provides centralized control over privileged credentials, session recording, automatic password rotation/management, and platform integrations that other light-weight tools could not. The on-premise deployment and architecture is solid - however the journey to get there was not trivial. The implementation required significant upfront planning, dedicated resources, and close collaboration with both internal company teams and CyberArk Professional Services. Time-to-value was measured in months, not weeks. Speaking specifically to the on-premise offering, the platform delivers on its promise, but you have to be prepared for the investment - both financially and operationally.

CyberArk Privileged Access Manager Likes & Dislikes

CyberArk PAM On-Premise offers good control and customizability in the latest version release along with an ever-growing number of integrations available on the CyberArk Marketplace. Customer service is generally very responsive to support tickets when issues arise. The On-Premise version releases include LTS versions, where the end-of-life and support for those particular versions last several years instead of several months. The PSM (privileged session manager) records every session with user action and screen capture capabilities. This has been invaluable for internal audit and compliance purposes.

Dislike

The privileged remote access product is pretty unstable, the remote sessions are constantly disconnecting, the performance is poor and the user experience is in general is bad, its good that you don't have to be on the VPN to connect, but it comes with a performance and stability issues that are not worth it
