Helps with compliance and improves operational flexibility
We have had both on-premises and SaaS models. The on-premise setup was a little difficult, but now that it has been moved to the SaaS model, everything is controlled by CyberArk. We just go and do our work. The initial on-premises setup took two weeks because it was an integrated effort. I had to spin up the servers and bring in the CyberArk Secrets Management resource to deploy the scripts. I then had to open networks and firewalls between CyberArk Secrets Management's on-premise servers and the application server. In the initial phase, it took two to three weeks, but it became easier when moving to the SaaS model. In terms of maintenance, it requires patching or upgrades, which happens one day in a month. If there is a failure, we have to roll back and try once again, which takes more time, but if everything goes smoothly, there is three to five hours of downtime.

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

"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."
"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."
"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."
"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."
"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."
"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."
"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."
"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."
"Delinea has very good support."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The reporting is excellent."
 

Cons

"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."
"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."
"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."
"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."
"We did not have a good experience with technical support because their numerous processes caused delays in engaging, leading to project delays or issues with production."
"Implementation was complex and required professional services."
"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
"CyberArk Secrets Management has a moderate pricing structure based on a per-tenant licensing model rather than a per-user account model like their PAM solution."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"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 product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
