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.

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.

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 most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."

"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."

"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."

"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."

"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."

"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."

"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."

"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."

"The solution is good."

"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."

"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."

"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."

"I have found most valuable the automatic scheduled password rotation and remote desktop monitoring. Additionally, the documentation is readily available and easy to find and the dashboard is straightforward."

"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."

"I really like the zero trust piece."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."

"Implementation was complex and required professional services."

"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."

"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."

"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."

"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."

"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."

"I'd prefer a better commercial model that includes partners and options for consulting around it. Where I've worked with my customers, we've only been able to use their professional services, and that has been a risk and constraint."

"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."

"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."

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 tool's pricing is expensive."

"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."

"Its price is okay. We don't compete on pricing. We seldom use price to win over our competitors. We prefer it this way because if we can sustain the price, we make more margin as well. We don't want the price to go down to the bottom where despite the win, there's no margin at all."

"I would give the price a four on a scale from one to ten, with one being the cheapest and ten being the most expensive. We pay for the license on a yearly basis, and we paid for three years. It costs around 5000 a year."

"They are priced quite well."

"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
