Enables us to have better security and it offers us productivity gains
The solution makes it easy to securely manage passwords. All of our tech, all of our servers, and everything globally are managed, so our techs do not have access to the passwords; the server does There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are…

Offers ability to store secret credentials and create policies using API calls, like allowing specific users to access certain data only after authentication
Before provisioning things in Azure, we use HashiCorp Vault to store service principal credentials—passwords and such. Then, we can identify if a user is authorized to provision resources. If not, the blueprint will throw an error saying the user isn't authorized to provision or spin up resources in Azure. Same thing with other components, except for the applications themselves. We don't store credentials for those. On the replication side, in a high-availability setup in multiple Vault instances, secret data is accessible by other resources. Each user or technical user has their own token, and there are different tokens for dev, test, QA, and product environments. It meets all three-point authentication, authorization, and access control requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
 

Cons

"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"In my opinion, HashiCorp Vault could improve its user interface. Right now, they don't offer much in terms of a graphical interface, which means you usually have to manage things manually through API calls. I think CyberArk has a better approach because it provides a UI that integrates features across all its components, making it easier, especially for new users or those from organizations with strict licensing policies."
"I don't think there are any major improvements required—so far, so good. However, I think that having more training materials, such as videos, and documentation available would be helpful. I would prefer to have more videos available either on the official site or on YouTube."
"A drawback for some clients who have to be PCI compliant is that they still need to use and subscribe to an HSM (Hardware Security Module) solution."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
"In my case, the open-source version works well. It's advisable for small to medium-scale organizations, but for large-scale organizations, you should go with the enterprise version."
"It could do everything we wanted it to do and it is brilliant, but it is super pricey. To be fair to HashiCorp, we drove the price up with our requirements around resiliency. Because of the nature of our company, we don't really operate in the cloud."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
