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

"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"The solution's stability is flawless; it's very stable."
"In the end, the cost, features, and ease of deployment simply beat the competition."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
"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."
"Password checkout and the ability to change a password after checkin are the most valuable features."
"I would rate Thycotic Secret Server a 10 out of 10 because I am not familiar with any products that are capable of going on-prem and have a superior function set."
"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."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."

Cons

"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
