We performed a comparison between AWS Secrets Manager and Delinea Secret Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Password Managers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."All our workloads are running on AWS, so integration with our workload is much easier on AWS Secrets Manager than going with another solution such as Thycotic."
"The product is easy to use and is inexpensive."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is the ability to keep data secret and assign access permissions to people to grant or restrict access."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."
"I like that it is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies."
"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."
"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."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
