A secure solution that needs to improve JumpCloud integration
The tool's most valuable feature is security.  We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud.  I have been using the product for more than two years.  1Password is stable.  My company has 200 users for the product.  The tool's deployment is easy.  The tool's pricing is not too…

Effective for password rotation policies triggered by audit requirements, it helps maintain compliance standards and seamless integration with third-party tools
The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications. Additionally, working in the finance department, we are heavily focused on enhancing audit reporting and compliance. So, the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) capabilities of Delinea Secret Server have also been crucial for us. We implemented a custom reporting system that can automatically send reports to auditors daily, weekly, or according to your organization's needs. We also upgraded the audit role within Secret Server, allowing auditors to access and analyze the reports directly. Additionally, Secret Server provides comprehensive logging capabilities. Auditors can see what data users access, their access levels, and their activities, including check-in and check-out times. Furthermore, Secret Server helped us manage privileged, elevated access, which we call "K2K." As the lead for this project, I could identify users with the highest access levels and implement specific policies to monitor their activity on servers.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"Its technical support is good."
"What I like best about this product is the interface."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"Support is helpful."
"The solution's stability is flawless."
"It works for us."
"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."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"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."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"When Delinea upgrades the tool, it rejects our password, saying that it is not compliant and strong."

"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
