Featured Reviews

Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.
Himanshu Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature. It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"The solution is stable."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"It is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"The solution is flexible."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The reporting is excellent."
 

Cons

"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
