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.

There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The surveillance is most valuable."
"What I like best about this product is the interface."
"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords."
"The zero-trust PIN is a great feature of the solution."
"It works for us."
"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."
"Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance."
"Delinea Secret Server is a stable solution."
"Right now we are encouraging our customers to use Fudo PAM because it is the only product in PAM technology that we have to offer them."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
 

Cons

"We faced some upgrade issues, especially during the management and administration parts. I found it less straightforward than on many other platforms, even outside password managers."
"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."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"Its remote support feature needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies."
"The stability is not very good."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The configuration is difficult."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"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."
"The price of this solution is good."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
