Straightforward software saves time with its simplicity and useful password management features
Secure password storage is the primary function of N-able Passportal that works well, and all the other features are add-ons. The best advantages of N-able Passportal are that the software is straightforward and easy to use. The ease of use is a significant benefit for N-able Passportal.

With how N-able Passportal software works, there is a perception of simplicity and straightforwardness. You do not have to sit and figure out what is happening. This is important because it saves time. You can always get more money and clients, but you can never get more time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"The solution is flexible."
"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."
"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."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The most valuable feature of the N-able Passportal is its functionality. You can store your passwords safely, and not just anyone can gain access to them. If you have an onsite system, it can change the password for you on a daily basis. This is a great benefit because you don't have to worry about if the account's breached tomorrow, your pass is going to be changed. It's perfect."
"Passportal also helps manage assets. You can add information about your infrastructure, like routers, including model numbers, operating systems, expiration dates, and licensing."
"The ease of use is a significant benefit for N-able Passportal; if you need a degree to figure out how to do three small functions in your software package, it is not worth it because you will have to spend time figuring out what goes wrong."
"The most valuable features of the N-able Passportal are the password rotations, and the ability to be able to store passwords. You can have it on your phone or your desktop. You're not required to have it only on your desktop computer."
 

Cons

"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"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."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"Sometimes accessing the solution is a bit slow, but that could be due to conditions at many different points. However, some issues that do arise are outside of our control."
"N-able Passportal can improve the stability because sometimes I can't log in. I had some issues a couple of months ago where I couldn't log in and that was problematic."
"I do not see any return on investment in terms of savings, time saving, or money saving, especially since this economy is struggling."
"I'd like to see the ability to provide both credential management and documentation management for clients. Currently, they only get access to credential management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"The price of N-able Passportal is approximately $15 for the license."
"For its value, Passportal's price is affordable."
