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 most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"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."
"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."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
 

Cons

"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"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."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"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."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The stability is not very good."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"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."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"They are priced quite well."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
