Very secure for storing passwords, keys, and secrets
1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work 1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet. There is a function for that, but it's not very good or useful for me. I haven’t faced any…
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"The most valuable feature of 1Password is the one that automatically generates a password and MFA for me when I try to enter them, instead of going and hardcoding it."
"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."
"Number one is the password vault; it's very good. Number two, they have a feature for remote desktops that are created on a per session basis, which is very good for security."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time."
"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."
"I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive."
"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."
 

Cons

"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"I would improve the search engine of 1Password to make it clearer or less confusing."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"I would give the price a four on a scale from one to ten, with one being the cheapest and ten being the most expensive. We pay for the license on a yearly basis, and we paid for three years. It costs around 5000 a year."
"The price of this solution is good."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
