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.

Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access

I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.

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."

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

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

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

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

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

"The granular controls of CyberArk Secrets Management are very niche in their development and very secure from the overall secret management perspective, offering high-level functionalities where we have control over user access, which can be tracked and monitored."

"I like that you can change the password remotely."

"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."

"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."

"The biggest benefit of Delinea Secret Server would be the remote password change and discovery, which are a major help for the management of the accounts."

"We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time."

"The solution's stability is flawless."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."

Cons

"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."

"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."

"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."

"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."

"Delinea Secret Server can improve in areas like statistics and notifications, and risk scoring, especially for highly privileged accounts where financial transactions occur."

"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."

"We had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting."

"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."

"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."

"When Delinea upgrades the tool, it rejects our password, saying that it is not compliant and strong."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."

"In the Nigerian market, the adoption of Delinea depends largely on an organization's budget. If they have the financial capacity, they might consider Delinea as a viable option."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."

"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."

"The tool's pricing is expensive."

"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."

"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
