Stephen Hui - PeerSpot reviewer
Has all necessary functionalities, is sophisticated and mature; still contains some bugs
There are still some bugs in the solution but a lot less than there used to be. Unfortunately, CyberArk and BeyondTrust are in fierce competition. Many customers have already adopted CyberArk, but they need a proven remote access solution and are likely to go with BeyondTrust. Both solutions can be used, it's just more work for IT to manage them. CyberArk is still leading the market share globally, and BeyondTrust is always classified second, followed by Delinea or Thycotic.
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

"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe are the ease of use and the API is very nice. Additionally, the interface is very good between AD and Unix."
"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"The product contains some bugs."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"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."
"I formerly used only one service: the remote server. For example, I connected to the Active Directory user and the computer's console. But now, I need to do a remote connection to the domain controller. Maybe it only connects to that tool, the Active Directory users, and the computer management console, but not to the domain controller. Another thing Delinea could add is multi-factor authentication."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve in areas like statistics and notifications, and risk scoring, especially for highly privileged accounts where financial transactions occur."
"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."
"The API is no good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"In the Nigerian market, the adoption of Delinea depends largely on an organization's budget. If they have the financial capacity, they might consider Delinea as a viable option."
"They are priced quite well."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
