Pricing is managed by a different team, however, I know it's less expensive than CyberArk Privilege Access.

Valuable Features

1Password Business enhances security and efficiency with password management, integration support, role-based access, and collaborative sharing features.
BeyondTrust Password Safe enhances security with automated management, intuitive interface, comprehensive asset visibility, and advanced auditing features.
Delinea Secret Server offers seamless integration, robust security features, and GRC capabilities for compliance, appealing to IT admins and users.
The automatic password rotation feature is particularly valuable, as rotated passwords are automatically updated to the 1Password Business vault.

I find the administration features particularly valuable, especially the Watchtower feature that alerts me when certain passwords have not been updated within a certain timeframe or when sites or accounts have been exposed, prompting me to proactively change those passwords.
Senior Manager, Cloud Product Marketing at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
1Password Business has positively impacted my organization by reducing some of our security risks.
Lead AI at OnSurvey
BeyondTrust JIT (Just-in-Time) Access helps minimize risks in the organization by allowing privileged accounts to be provisioned temporarily, granting users elevated access only for the required duration.
Associate Security Consultant at CyberSec Consulting
The flexibility of the licensing model is significantly better as it offers both unlimited users and unlimited devices, unlike Delinea, which is based on the number of users.
Senior Cyber Security Engineer at TechnoNext Ltd.
The features I find valuable in Password Safe include password retention and management, session privilege monitoring, live monitoring and recording, and the use of PS automation scripts for creating connections.
IT operations manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The biggest benefit of Delinea Secret Server would be the remote password change and discovery, which are a major help for the management of the accounts.
Senior Quality Analyst at YASH Technologies
Delinea Secret Server doesn't offer any exceptional features; most solutions have similar capabilities such as automatic password rotation, activity log monitoring, and activity log auditing.

Featured Reviews

Project Manager at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Centralized password sharing has improved secure access and streamlined global team workflows
The important limitation that I find in 1Password Business is that recipients, when you share the data with them, can always manually store that data locally. No system can fully prevent that. We just need to trust the person whom you're sharing the data with. It's not ideal for strangers or unknown parties where we can give them the credit card, which is not ideal. The limitations of 1Password Business where it allows the users to store their data locally are the only limitation, but it doesn't affect the fact that we are using the platform itself because it's really helpful for the team.
PawanShirose - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Security Consultant at CyberSec Consulting
Has enabled bulk onboarding and password rotation while ensuring secure privilege management
I have faced stability issues when upgrading BeyondTrust Password Safe solution. The upgrade process can be lengthy compared to other modules. For example, upgrading the appliance and reconfiguring HA is easier in PRA. However, in BeyondTrust Password Safe, the upgrade activity can take longer, and I have occasionally experienced being stuck during appliance version upgrades, sometimes duplicating the upgrade. Regarding additional features, we have good features in BeyondTrust Password Safe compared to other modules, such as Secret Safe to secure secrets and the check-in, check-out functionality. We already have the main features, but I think it would be helpful if BeyondTrust implemented a heartbeat check feature on the privileged account level. This feature would allow PAM to check the credentials of privileged accounts, indicating if they are correct or not, showing if the heartbeat has failed if they are wrong.
Reena Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer

Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access
I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.
