Easy to set up, simple to use, and quite secure
We primarily use the solution for a personal secondary backup The solution is easy to use. So far, the performance has been good.  It offers a very easy setup. The integration capabilities have been good. It's very stable and quite secure.  I cannot speak to any particular areas of improvement.…

I would characterize common frustrations related to Delinea Secret Server rather than using the term dislike. One area is the complexity for the administrative part. While it is straightforward in core values, configuring advanced policies, custom templates, and other areas including discovery scans and detailed reporting have a steep learning curve and may require extra training. The user interface and terminology present another challenge. Some users feel that the user interface can feel dated or overly complex, with terminology around secrets and folder structures taking time to master. Pricing perception is another point where some costs are mixed, while many others find Delinea Secret Server more affordable and flexible than tier one competitors. However, smaller teams still view enterprise licensing as a significant investment. I have observed poor technical support, particularly in multiple reviews. The support can be slow, limited, and sometimes unhelpful when troubleshooting complex configurations or stability issues. Aggressive or untransparent sales practices also present a concern. Some customers on G2 have cited frustrations with hidden costs, such as unexpected EC2 instance fees and core features being unbundled or oversold during contract negotiation. Complex implementation and setup is another significant challenge. The initial configuration, deployment, and managing advanced policies or connectors requires specialized expertise that most organizations do not have, and the steep learning curve compounds this issue. Users transitioning to the cloud-hosted version frequently complain that the updated interface and permissions structure feel slow and problematic compared to the legacy on-premise setup. Integration and API challenges represent the final area of concern. The platform points out challenges with API tokenization and external system integration, and the lack of documentation is one of the key points I would highlight. This limitation affects the ability to integrate with external systems effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration capabilities have been good."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature; it works really well, and the ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"The solution is easy to use, the performance has been good, the integration capabilities have been good, and it is very stable and quite secure."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members, and the auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"Thycotic Secret Server is a good solution for what it does."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"Before this solution, people had their own passwords stored in different areas and when something was needed we could not find the right person that had the right password, which meant quite a lot in migration scenarios, but with this solution, everyone knew what tools to use and where to put the password and who gives access to that password and then we could have reports on who has access to different passwords so that we could do audits."
"The surveillance is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the subscription on offer, as we like the policies that can be put in place, the password duration backup part and even the pipeline are useful, the solution offers useful APIs as well, we find the initial setup to be simple, it's scalable, the stability is great, the pricing is good, and support is helpful."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"Customer support for Delinea Secret Server has been terrific, and every time we've had an issue, we were able to reach out and get our issue resolved."
 

Cons

"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company. It could be a little bit cheaper."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The API is no good."
"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."
"Attempting to do that is almost impossible because of the low quality of the API."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"The price of this solution is good."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"They are priced quite well."
"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."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"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."
