The tickets for minor issues have been resolved efficiently.
I rate technical support from BeyondTrust at around eight or nine because it is very good and helpful.
I found the technical support from BeyondTrust to be very good.
When I faced issues integrating custom applications with Delinea Secret Server, the support from their deployment partner was inadequate.
It was perfect, and I had no reason to complain.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
BeyondTrust Password Safe is highly rated for scalability and flexibility with effective resource management and adaptable deployment across environments.
Sentiment score
7.9
Delinea Secret Server is highly scalable, versatile for medium to large organizations, and efficiently manages significant environments with robust options.
Sentiment score
8.4
Keeper effectively scales from small groups to large organizations, handling growth smoothly, with most users experiencing positive scalability.
If using the built-in database, it requires good knowledge in Microsoft SQL, which could complicate scalability.
In my experience, the scalability of BeyondTrust Password Safe is also a nine.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
BeyondTrust Password Safe is stable, praised for flexibility, with issues in early versions and necessary management for optimal performance.
Sentiment score
8.1
Delinea Secret Server is stable and reliable, with some minor issues, responsive support, and high user satisfaction ratings.
Sentiment score
8.6
Keeper is praised for reliability, with no data loss or downtime, earning high ratings for stability and long-term use.
The solution is very stable.
The stability is less than ideal since it updates to our console can take around six to ten hours.
 

Room For Improvement

BeyondTrust Password Safe requires improved documentation, integration, interface simplicity, flexible features, and more competitive pricing to enhance user experience.
Delinea Secret Server requires API improvements, enhanced interface, better support, encryption, and integration with systems like Azure Active Directory.
Users want Keeper improvements in UX, integration, customization, stability, support, pricing, offline access, and API and import capabilities.
This would help in identifying suspicious activities immediately when users log in.
There are limitations when accessing or creating connectors for each application.
I believe one improvement could be having the last used passwords appear more automatically whenever I check for passwords associated with a frequently used system.
Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers.
 

Setup Cost

BeyondTrust Password Safe offers cost-effective, asset-based pricing, benefiting organizations prioritizing asset management over user count.
Delinea Secret Server pricing offers flexibility and functionality, but perceptions vary on affordability, especially for advanced features and cloud capabilities.
Keeper offers reasonable, scalable pricing with discounts and plans that align with business needs, providing justified security benefits.
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of BeyondTrust Password Safe is good because we have an asset-based license, not a user-based one, allowing us to add many clients with privilege access.
It is cost-effective compared to other solutions.
Pricing is managed by a different team, however, I know it's less expensive than CyberArk Privilege Access.
The price of Delinea Secret Server is okay, however, the solution is considered expensive when compared to others.
The solution was more expensive than the competition, but considering our business needs, it was perfectly aligned with the price-performance aspect.
 

Valuable Features

BeyondTrust Password Safe offers robust password management, integration, and analytics for enhanced security and compliance in enterprise environments.
Delinea Secret Server offers easy installation, secret management, password rotation, robust security features, user-friendly interface, and integration capabilities.
Keeper offers secure password management with two-factor authentication, AES-256 encryption, and multi-platform access, enhancing user convenience and security.
The most valuable features of BeyondTrust Password Safe, in my opinion, are its ease of use and robust security management.
It is important for our organization that BeyondTrust Password Safe supports both on-premises and cloud deployment.
The flexibility of the licensing model is significantly better as it offers both unlimited users and unlimited devices, unlike Delinea, which is based on the number of users.
Delinea Secret Server doesn't offer any exceptional features; most solutions have similar capabilities such as automatic password rotation, activity log monitoring, and activity log auditing.
The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement.

Ali Hatamleh - PeerSpot reviewer
Smart tooling streamlines account organization and access through advanced grouping features
The features I find valuable in Password Safe include password retention and management, session privilege monitoring, live monitoring and recording, and the use of PS automation scripts for creating connections. The smart tooling and smart group features are also important as, after finalizing discovery, they auto-collect accounts in the environment and organize them in Smart Groups for easy access.
Avinash Gopu. - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Mahesh Subramanian - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps with password management and sharing
The tool's setup was easy and we have deployed it on the cloud. The deployment was quick and we completed it in less than a week. We have two teams one in the US and another in India. We first implemented Keeper in the US, got feedback, and then implemented it in India. The overall deployment took about four months to complete.
