I typically use Delinea Privileged Access Service within my IT infrastructure management for consulting, to secure privileged access, recording, session recording, password vault, etcetera The most common solution I find effective for protecting sensitive data is the most common features of…

With its extension, I can quickly access login information without opening a new browser window
Passportal's stability is okay. However, it goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else. I can only remember one or two outages with IT Glue. With Passportal, it gets frustrating when you need to reset a password for a client, and you have to put their global admin address in there because what you're doing requires admin privileges. But you can't get in there because Passportal isn't working, and the password might be a 48-character password. If it's down for five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes — that's too long. It's a real inconvenience. It doesn't happen all the time, but I've been at this job two months, and it's probably happened three or four times. I don't like this. I'm used to having it right at my fingertips. I need access now. With the influx of tickets coming in and time management, it needs to be like that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"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."
"The solution is flexible."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The reporting is excellent."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"Delinea has very good support."
"I like Passportal's extensions. You can click the particular company you want and go through all the passwords and usernames associated with that company or the specific webpage you're on or their server or whatever. It's a whole lot faster."
"Passportal is very stable."
 

Cons

"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"It goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else."
"In the future, I would like the ability to have diagrams, such as those created by Visio, available directly in Passportal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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 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 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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"We pay the license fee monthly and the price is reasonable."
