We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Password Safe 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."BeyondTrust Password Safe is a good PAM tool."
"The CI/CD and REST API are also satisfactory; the solution has a full PAM feature set and they all work well."
"The solution protects organizations from internal and external threats."
"The ability to manage privileged account passwords is the most valuable feature."
"BeyondTrust Password Safe has good reporting and Smart Rules which makes it convenient. Though Smart Rules are convenient, those who do not have much experience with such things may find it difficult to understand how these things work. Otherwise, I find Smart Rules very convenient to work with."
"Its number one feature is discovery. The discovery engine in BeyondTrust is off the charts. When they perform a discovery, you know everything there is about a server, including what software is installed. For example, if you want to group all of your database servers together, you can do that by using discovery and Smart Rules. If a server has Microsoft SQL installed, it gets put into a group based on a Smart Rule. It makes it very easy to determine what is what in your environment. As organizations grow or acquire other companies and merge, they lose track of what they have. BeyondTrust can help you throw a rope around it very rapidly."
"The actual innovations offered by the vendor stand out to me. They are quick to respond to market demands and the changing environment of privileged access management."
"Screen recording is valuable, and integration with applications is easy. We can customize whatever we want. We did a lot of application integration using scripting."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"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."
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"Its technical support is good."
"We face screensaver timeout issues and problems with the server. I would like the product to include a server visibility feature."
"The only feature they could improve is the banners because they aren't informative. For example, if something is not correct and I open the error notification, the dialogue box simply says, "This is an error." It would be great if they could provide some valuable comments about how to fix the errors."
"Documentation is the primary area of improvement."
"We weren't aware that the Password Safe virtual appliance runs on a Windows server. As part of our monthly patching process, we ran into an issue. BeyondTrust Password Safe wasn't compatible with the patching we used to put on our server."
"There is a limited capacity on the appliance, which I wasn't informed about when I purchased the product. I can have a maximum of 150 rules per appliance; any more than that and rule processing becomes very complex, especially regarding password revision. Hitting a capacity limit you don't know about can be problematic. Ideally, we would not have a limited capacity, allowing us to be in a completely managed state with password rotation for every service account, not just the highly privileged ones."
"It has crashed on us in the past."
"I think that BeyondTrust Password Safe could be improved with more testing. In the beginning, they were practically using customers as beta testers. Maybe the product has evolved since I last used it, but if you look at PAM, privileged access management, whatever's out there has already been done. I don't see there being any other enhancements that are being made regarding PAM, except to support more cloud-based applications."
"Its documentation can be improved. Its documentation is currently complicated, and it is not good. It needs to be better. Their technical support can also be improved. It is not bad, but it can be better."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"I would like to see improvement with the integration with Azure Active Directory. This would mean that we can have support on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."
"Its remote support feature needs improvement."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
